Alright, all the controller builders here, I have a question where I'd like your opinion!
I'm changing the way I attach my chinese 600ppr encoders to my sdvx controller. Now I'm torn between the type of screw I'll use. What do you think, should I countersink the screw to my acrylic top board, or use a screw with a flat top.
Here's a list of pros and cons:
Countersinking:
+ Is completely invisible, as the screw is covered by a paper with pretty pictures and a transparent top sheet
- Can cause catastrophic structural damage
- Encoders won't be changeable without removing the transparent acrylic sheet on top

Flat screw
+ Is more structurally sound
+ Even though the screws are exposed, they're not as high as the transparent acrylic sheet covering the controller, so they shouldn't bother playing
+Makes changing encoders without taking top acrylic sheet away possible
-The screws are visible

Right now I think I'll not do the countersinking, just because I don't want to waste a fuckload of money on new acrylic top sheets.
