I've got a 4 player panel and a trackball/dual spinner panel that I interchange. I use the DB25 connectors which are hooked to my KE72. I also have the opposite end of the 25 pin connectors hooked to my buttons and joysticks. To change panels I unclamp the panel which is held in place by the panel clamps from Happ and then unplug the 25 pin connectors. I do the reverse to put the other panel on. My trackball and rotary sticks use 9 pin connectors for easy disconnect. It is a really quick change.

: 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?
