So after playing with my custom-built arcade controller I noticed a few issues:
- I had intermittent controller connectivity problems because of terrible cable management underneath the controller.
- The buttons I used had terrible microswitches with way too much tactile feedback and so much force required to actuate that it made the game impossible to really play. They were also dome shaped and required too much movement for side-to-side gameplay (lots of up and down movement)
- The back of the controller did not have as much support, so it caused some issues with the buttons on the back side of the controller when pressing them down.

To fix this, I bought new Cherry 20g microswitches and flat buttons instead of dome ones.

Additionally I put Nico card art inside each button! Just makes the controller that much more personalized!

Finally I REALLY cleaned up the wiring and now there's no issues with cables getting bumped or moved around.

Overall this revision of the controller was definitely needed but now that it's done I can happily play and the buttons are WAY more arcade-like!
