Right now I have a Hanaho HotRodSE.

I'd like to get something a little fancier.

Preferably, I want

• joysticks that can be rotated (to use in Front Line, for example)
  
• joysticks with fire buttons on the top
  
• appropriate amount of buttons
  
• spinner
  
• trackball
  

actually, you will have a hard time finding something like that ready..
you may have to go into the DIY business and build one.
Its the only way to get somethin 100% your way.
Me ? i am happy with my arcade control, i just wish i had 2 of them.

I also have a HotrodSE... I've been thinking of changing it, but I think I will hack it a bit first: the keyboard controller for it supports some extra keys useful for MAME, but they are not connected to any buttons. So with a bit of soldering and drilling, you could add 3 new buttons.

Otherwise I think the best solution for an arcade panel would be to get a device that converts arcade controls to USB. It's a bit expensive, but with it you can use any arcade control. I don't remember where I've seen it, but there was probably a link in the "Build your own arcade controls" page.

Other than that, the Hotrod, a joypad, and an analog joystick will be it for me for now...
