The buttons he chose are a little stiff for his liking, but it’s much better than using a keyboard. , the creator of this project, took some parts from an existing arcade cabinet he had and 3D printed the case in order to craft this custom controller. The original system had so many buttons that it’s difficult to get even a standard 102-key keyboard mapped comfortably to it, so something custom is almost necessary. Most N-Gage gaming these days takes place on emulators, this build is specifically built for the emulator experience.

Given that there are only 17 cards to choose from, one would expect the 1,000 diamond prize to come up several times in that many selections.
