Buttons on CP - to angle or not to angle?

Hi everyone, I've been wanting to build something for 14 years and I'm finally going to do it in the next couple of weeks.

For my two player control panel I was thinking that I should angle the buttons? They will be in a standard 6 button layout (like Killer Instinct, Street Fighter) - 2 rows of 3 straight across. But I was thinking of angling the whole group so that the right side is higher than the left side to make it more ergonomic, has anyone done that or had problems with it later on?

Rotating it won't help the ergonomics. If you don't want to do an ergonomic layout (where the buttons are curved), its probably better to just use a standard non-ergonomic one.

Definitely best to try it, though.

I never liked the curved button layout..always straight buttons for fighting games for me.

I didn't mean ergonomic for fingers though more for natural wrist position..my hand naturally rests pointing in, but with a standard layout it has to cock to the right a bit.

I would recommend not trying to reinvent the wheel here.
