What is the shortest (known to you) distance from center of joystick to center of push button
and same question but longest distance? (Can you give me some real life game examples?)
TIA

PL1:

Closest that I can think of is the reverse button on Defender and Stargate.

This is more for a thumb though, isn't it? Let me refine my question what is shortest/longest for like a shooter or a fighter type of game and for index finger.

Yes.  The idea is to hit the reverse button with your left thumb without releasing the joystick.

What does it matter ?

  You can put a button right next to a sticks base, and there shouldnt be any problem operating it, as your button hand is much lower than the topmost shaft movement range.

 The only exception, might be a very low profile stick, maybe something like a Nintendo mini stick, as seen on games like RType.

 Other than that, proximity doesnt matter.   (just look at how close your fingers and hands are, on a Laptop keyboard.

  You can also put the button slightly under the stick..  in a slight diagonal.  Not completely below.. as the pad area of the stick hand would hit the fingers on the button hand.
