Is there a standard distance betwen buttons in a CP ???

[alank2]

Hi everyone,

Is there a standard distance betwen buttons in a CP

I'm planning on using 6 buttons in a 3 wide x 2 tall configuration.

At 1.5" between holes, this leaves about 3/16" space between buttons.

If I went to 1.75, this would then leave 7/16" space between buttons.

Is there a standard?

What was used on cabs that had this layout (like streetfighter?)

Thanks,

Alan

here is a link to Snakes webpage I hope he doesnt mind
http://www.freewebs.com/snaaake/M2.htm

on the bottom of that page he has a pic of his CP layout with schematics and spacing, if you like his CP layout you should try that

I have the standard capcom fighter layout posted on my website as well as the template I used for my cp.

See:

http://www.fraggersxtreme.com/arcadepanels/faq.htm#What is the minimum button spacing that I can use?

I plan to use 1.5 between the button centers and 3 inches between the joystick center and the center of the first button, which is what talking octopus has on his template.

Someone should sticky this also, gets asked a lot.

The metric system!  That's not perfect at all.

metric rocks! i used to hate it but when i started getting into cars all i work on now is imports so i like mm instead of 5/16 and all that crap

Actually, if you do the math, SNAAAKE's dimensions are less than a tenth of an inch different from mine and Octupus's (Octopi's ??).

Does anyone have a good Neo template?  That's the one with the curved buttons, right?  

I'm looking for a good template to blow up to test out on a CP.  Here is one image I tracked down from another thread, but it wasn't a final...

I sure wish i knew the values for A through D however.  It's a nice design, but doesn't have all the answers, does it?  Am I looking at that pic wrong?
