How many buttons do you guys have on your cabs

[moosekatdeluxe]

Hi guys,
Just received my first set of bsticks and uttons for my 2 player bartop. Due to finances i am buying player to contols next month.
I know that some people have exit buttons, pause buttons, etc aswell, but what buttons do I really need on my setup? I have also bought a mini-ipac so do have a limit on butons.

Thanks.

I always do 6 buttons per player for main buttons and 1 button each for start\coin and one final black button for admin combos that is usually situated next to player ones start.

6 is the most you'll need per player for arcade games.

I like a dedicated exit button that posts as the escape key and that's about it.
For anything else, I plug in a USB keyboard.

On my current build, I did do gamelist <> buttons, but they also double as coin buttons if you don't want to put a quarter in.

For a two player setup, I'd go with 6 Acton buttons per player, two start buttons, two coin buttons, and an exit/pause button fit a total of 17.

I went the other route with my MiniPAC and maxed out the buttons available.  I have 26 buttons - 2 x 6 button Street Fighter layouts, a coin & start for each player, 2 pinball buttons on each side (total 4, not shown), L & R mouse buttons above the trackball, then 4 x menu buttons for exit, menu, pause, and HyperPause.  I realize that a shift button is available and I could have less buttons but I've been happy with it.

I've got 6 buttons per player, start buttons for each, pause and exit. Also have two in the sides for pinball flippers and one in front for a plunger. So 19 total.

6 per player in a streetfighter layout.

Horizontal Cabinet: 6 per player
Vertical Cabinet: 3

My bartops almost always have 3 or less, except the defender and a 2 player bartop.
