Molex connectors work fine, but I choose to use DB25 connectors. With DB25's, I can have up to 25 connections - plenty for any control panel that I ever care to build.

DB25's can be purchased from Radio Shack.

: I have 2 joysticks and 14 buttons on my control panel. How do I make this cp removable? I think I am going to build a second cp to swap with this one. I heard about molex connectors but how does this work? Is it just a matter of basically cutting the wires I have in half and hooking the buttons/controllers ends to one molex connector (male) and connecting the other wires to the corresponding places on a female end?
