Joystick Prototype #2

Dear EAB,

As you may know, I have recently completed the first prototype for my arcade-quality-Atari-controller-on-a-budget (loosely based on the TAC 2 and Competition Pro but with a Seimitsu LS-56-01 joystick and Sanwa OBSF-30 buttons). After some feedback (the enclosure being too large and the paint prone to scratching along with the jigsaw-puzzle-like assembly method of the enclosure itself), I've decided to work on a second prototype (this time inspired by the CP's successor, "The Arcade"). After much CAD work, I've narrowed it down to two (2) shapes for the enclosure - octagonal and quadrilateral. Please let me know which type you prefer by voting (see the mockups of the enclosures by viewing the image below).



Happy voting.

Yours sincerely,
Swevicus.

Do you require a poll for options / votes?

I will set this up for you if you PM me what it is that you actually need

Yeah ok, on further analysis, I can see that you've already created a poll

Neither one looks like it's made for a human hand.

I've redesigned the octagonal enclosure to make it a little more ergonomic (the joystick would now go in the centre, with the single fire button now relocated at the very front and centre instead of being on the base).

"Octojoystick" front view:

"Octojoystick" comparison (first model on the left, second model on the right):

Have a look and let me know which you prefer.
