It can be done, just turn the button circuit board 90 degrees.
(I cut some board away to make them shorter)

Anthony that mod is looking tight. Have you ever thought of making more that one controller and possibly selling them in the future?

I thought about it, but I think it's going to be very expensive, not for the parts
and all, but for the time spend on one project.
When I finish this project, I hope a few weeks from now, I will let you know
what the total 'hardware' costs are'

I take a little break with soldering now.
I thought I could share already some pics of arcade buttons with light.
The first 4 buttons I got working now.
The blue leds also worked, but somehow they stopped again. (short circuit or
bad connection, But I will find out what it is).Fixed;see picture 5
I routed the 3rd button and leds to the 4th place, so I have it light up bleu when I push "play".
Hopefully in firmware upgrade they all will light up bleu.
