@@aminm8140 granted I didn’t use the cheapest material for a case and mine cost about $10, I went with several cheaper options for pieces and mine still cost me around the same amount as a standard hitbox.

I’ve been looking around for cheap boxes like this and couldn’t find any for the right price. I ended up building my hitbox out of modeling cardboard (the type the use for architectural models). The fact that I could cut any shape of hole I wanted allowed me to include screw in shafts in the lid an other cool tricks, though. Making my own box allowed me to have it be a mirror image of the regular hitbox with the movement on the right and the actions on the left, I also switched up and down since I’m used to inputting down with my right hand thumb and I added an extra row of buttons above the action buttons. Those correspond with the right stick. Also, instead of just making a hole for the USB cable, you could’ve bought a NEUTRIK USB type-A to USB type-B pass through converter and a short A to B USB cable and then your box would have the option for detachable cables. Lastly, I’d like to mention that there are sellers on AliExpress who sell high quality cases for arcade controllers without the electronic parts, which allow for better looking builds.

for those looking to make this for a bit cheaper. cause the 2$ clearly doesnt include cost of tools, bits, and boards you might not have. a step drill bit would cost you a bit more than a single bit, but should for the most part get you the sizes you want (though pay attention to what sizes it steps to). this saving you cost as you would most likely need only one bit. you can (if you have any arcade stick you dont really use) re use its components. mainly the buttons and the board. i made a hitbox with my old 50$ mayflash stick. only had to spend a few $ on extra buttons, which will vary in price depending on where you get it. dont really need anything fancy as far as drills, i use a 18$ drill i got from harbor freight. any extra wires/connectors you can get pretty cheap. all n all. including the re-used mayflash stick. and 5$ container for the box, bits, drill, extra buttons. i managed to make my own hitbox for just under 100$. i could have saved a bit more using my 3d printer.
