Avoiding a Frankenpanel...
Bootay:
TopJimmy: Yep. I haven't actually decided whether to go with swappable or modular, but I personally prefer those options over a big honking frankenpanel.
Xiaou2: I see your points on both swappable and modular. For me swappable wouldn't be a big deal because I will probably load a game up and leave it running that game a while. Then when bored with it, switch it. I am not one to play a game for 15 mins then switch. So I don't care about the alleged 5 minute hookup. Modulars can look alright if done right, and since I won't always have the same game running I could care less about the artwork. Plus if done right you could put good artwork and have it flow right. I personally don't know how I will approach it when the time comes.
Vigo: LOL

I have to disagree a bit with this point. While gamepads on consoles have a staggered arrangement, its mainly because the thumb can more easily slide from one to the other, as well as hold nearly any two buttons down with the single thumb.

You can disagree. The point is that, unless the buttons are labeled, making the mental association as to which button on the panel is associated to which button on a gamepad is easier with the offset config. It has been for me, and that is why I am lending my support to his consideration in doing so. It doesn't have anything to do with why they did it that way on a gamepad.
