Desktop control panel

A desktop control panel is a standalone control panel to connect to your PC or console to play arcade stype games. If you do not have the space (or financial resources) to build a full size cabinet, a desktop control panel might be a good solution to have an arcade experience.

A desktop control panel is basically a panel with controls without a cabinet. The control panel connects directly to the PC (for example by USB connection) or to your console.

Some vendors sell ready built desktop control panels, such as SlikStik.
