i like to keep the 6 button layout, but not in straight rows...like the player 1 and 2 controls on my showcase cabinet.. this way my finger tips rest perfectly on the top row, and since the bottom row is shifted to the right, when i bend my fingers, they perfectly go down to the bottom row. I've thought about adding a 4th button to the top row for my pinky, but i just haven't really found a good reason to do that yet. |

I have the same layout as you on my main cabinet and I hate it. It is the single biggest mistake in the design of my rig and I would have to ruin an expensive custom overlay to try to fix it. --- Quote from: severdhed on June 05, 2013, 10:50:31 am ---i like to keep the 6 button layout, but not in straight rows...like the player 1 and 2 controls on my showcase cabinet.. this way my finger tips rest perfectly on the top row, and since the bottom row is shifted to the right, when i bend my fingers, they perfectly go down to the bottom row.

that is why it is always best to test different button layouts on scrap wood before commiting to it on your actual control panel. I had a standard street fighter layout on my first panel and it was fine, but after experimenting with different layouts on scraps, the curved layout felt the best to me. I have not had anyone complain about it when they come to play it. each person likes different things...use some scrap wood or even a cardboard box to test different layouts to determine what works best for you. |
