Groovy Game Gear
Homepage: http://groovygamegear.com/webstore
GroovyGameGear is a one-stop shop for virtually all necessary parts to build a home arcade machine. They have designed their own keyboard encoders, joystick encoders, and the unique LedWiz, a device which allows the control of single colored or RGB LEDs.
In addition to their encoders, they stock a unique translucent microswitch button which has a built-in RGB LED and resistor. This saves a lot of time because the leads on RGB LEDs are very fragile and small, making them difficult to solder.
They stock hard-to-find items such as 1 1/8" hole saws, as well as the common items, such as locks, T-molding, regular pushbuttons, and so on.
Randy Turner, the owner of GGG, maintains an active prescence in the BYOAC forums, under the name "RandyT".

| Comments | Randy at Groovy Game Gear, has really raised the bar as far as what to expect from arcade community vendors. He has poured his heart and soul into making innovative new gaming products. He covers a wide range of products that one needs to build and spice up a cabinet or control panel. You can expect to find everything from encoders to LED illumination and animation hardware. |

| Comments | Randy is a great guy. He has some innovative controllers and interfaces, and delivers a very great service. The only bad thing is that he only sends from the USA, which means you have to pay both TOL&VAT (roughly 40% in Denmark). Since his parts are not cheap (but of good quality), some people in EU may prefer Ultimarc instead, since Andy sells from England (EU). |

| Comments | Randy frequently comes to the BYOAC forum to unveil new products and answer questions asked by other members. I have placed two orders to Randy's shop at Groovy Game Gear. His products are top notch and high quality. Also, Groovy Game Gear's shipping is some how faster then the speed of light. |
