They kick ASS!!!! Had it wired and tested within one day!! 4 Joysticks, Trackball, Spinner and tons of buttons. I took the 3 mouse buttons and used them in MAME to exit game, bring up the MAME Config Menu and Pause game. Each of the 2 control panels has 2 8-way joysticks (1 I configged as 4-way for Pac-man & other 4-way games). On each Control panel, one joystick has 7 buttons and the other has 6 buttons... one control panel has a spinner and the other the trackball. I was also able to add a USB steering wheel and a USB Sidewinder joystick for those shooting games and twisty games like Discs of Tron. I haven't had a single problem with my set-up. Took me one day to build my cabinet as well... 2 days total construction time for a lifetime of nostalgia... well worth it!!!!
