Well thats your problem right there... you should put them on top of the control panel, not on the sides!   ;D

J/K... I actually have nothing useful to contribute to this thread!

I can't think of any titles that truly use 7 buttons that don't also require a wicked specific layout, so nothing is really ever mapped as button 7 on my rig.

I have a 7 button layout though and it is generally set up like this for most titles.

For 6 button titles I have it set up like this.

However I specifically set up lots of different titles.

I have lots of 2 button games set up like this.

For Galaga it is set up like this.

For Asteroids and Asteroids Deluxe it is set up like this with 1 being fire, 2 being thrust and 3 being Hyperspace/Shield. I mapped all leftovers to hyperspace/shield because it is a button pressed very rarely and it is easy to hit the wrong thing on a 7 button panel in the split second between when you decide to use it and hit the button.

Evilpenguinj:
Perfect thanks for the replies guys.   I currently have a happ 4-way joystick in my control panel.   I don't like the joystick very much.   The panel is routed for that joystick.   Are there any better 4-way joysticks that would fit in the same spot?

Thanks

Jason
