Update: Please read the full description before asking questions!
Recently I built a RetroPie PC with the case and keyboard of an old Comodore VIC20 and an Intel D945GSEJT Mini-ITX board. To enjoy playing old Arcade games an adequate controller is required.
So I start building my own and made a time-lapse video of the build.
I used Bamboo for the top panel and laminated Ash for the side pieces, both 19 mm thick. The bottom panel is made from 5mm thick MDF. For the finish I used boiled linseed oil.
The dimensions for the top are 20 cm x 35 cm. I made the panel wide enough that the controller could rest comfortably on my legs while playing. I picked the height for the 4 side pieces so that I could cut hem without too much waste out of the 20 cm wide panel., approximately 4.5 cm. The rabbet in for the side pieces is 5 mm deep and as wide as the side panels(19mm).
The template for the button arrangement came from I picked the one that seemed to work best for my hands.
The actual hole size after printing the template does not matter as long as the buttons are not overlapping. Pick the drill for the holes according to your button diameter! In my case it’s 30 mm.
The Joystick kit from XCSOURCE was bought on amazon:

ERASE the idea that this will be somewhat simple to do…….this is a project that will require time space and money……seems ALOT easier to spend 200 bucks and be done with it………AND u get a warranty

Did you route out a place for the joystick? Or does it just stick up through the 19mm top piece?

A Comodore Keyboard, retropie, DIY arcade controller, for playing MAME games? This has got to be a head-turner, I'm bloody impressed. Really enjoyed watching you build this by the way.

This is the most professionally made joystick setup I've seen on here. I'm going to make one myself but all I have is a scrollsaw and sanding tools. It won't be this nice…perfectly straight cuts with a scroll saw are near impossible but I'm pretty skilled with one, we'll see how it turns out.
