"curve" on neogeo buttons
« on: March 05, 2004, 10:28:02 am »
Hi, I'm just wondering if there is a standard curv to the neogeo button layout... or if you just go with what fits your hands?

Hey, I say go with whatever fits you and is comfortable for you. You're the one who'll be playing it after all.
I have a 6-button street fighter layout, but I curved them to match my hand. I have fairly large hands and long fingers, so I just layed my fingertips comfortably on the board and used where they touched as a starting point for my layout.

Most people just have buttons B, C and D in a line, with A at 45degrees to button B.  I think the original NeoGeo machines used more of a straight line, with button A closer to the line of the other buttons...

Here's how I did mine:

I've also seen a Neo Geo with a slightly more curved line:

Ok so the picture is a "tad" low res, but the yelow button is clearly lower than the blue and green ones. Also the whole row of buttons seems to be shifted down vs the other layout.

I found this image from eBay.. but it is a "Mini Neo-Geo" cabinet, so I think they curve them due to a space issue.

Yes on the smaller cabinets they curve them due to space issues.  The picture I took was on a 4 game MVS system.

This is the kind I was referring to (seems there are many variations...).  I expect this one is Japanese:

I used Happ vinyl - it is quite nice :)  This is actually just a 'test' control panel...for the final version I hope to use a printed control panel overlay ;)
