Need opinions on joystick and buttons
«

Picked up a Z Back Clone and have made a new control panel for it. I went with Marvel vs Capcom for my artwork and I’m ready to purchase joysticks and buttons. I’m trying to decide on a color for joysticks and buttons that will go well with the red and black on the cabinet. I do like the 3 different colors for the buttons, but I can’t decide which ones will look right. Was also thinking about joystick tops. Bat top vs Ball top. I like them both. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Here is a pic of the cab.

I would probably go with the traditional Red, White & Blue with black sticks.

To my eye, a simple/cohesive color scheme looks better every time. I like the way that black button looks against the CPO, so I'd make all of the buttons black and probably go with blue joysticks to match the other colors.

On a cabinet like that, it has to be bat sticks.

I’ll second the red and blue buttons with bat tops. I think the black buttons get lost on that CPO. Not enough contrast.

Happ bat sticks, I would go with the Supers, they have a nice even movement that works good for most game types.
