Good comments, Urebel. Thought I would contrast my preferences. --- Quote from: u_rebelscum on March 13, 2004, 06:43:31 am ---I'm a rightly (& probably do to conditioning, also); here's my feelings: --- End quote --- I'm a southpaw, but tend to like the traditional layouts. (I.E. for most games I prefer Stick Left, buttons right, including Pac-Man). Here are the exceptions. --- Quote ---Atari 2600: Love the stick right, button left thumb. I grew up on this. Only problem is there's only one button. --- End quote --- Haven't played this in years - Can't remember if I used the stick right, or if I held the base in my right hand and used my right index finger to press the button. Might have depended on the game I was playing. --- Quote ---Arcade digital stick & 1 button: --- End quote --- As I said above, I like stick left, button right. --- Quote ---Rotary stick: --- End quote --- Prefer stick on left, buttons right. --- Quote ---Trackball: trackball right, buttons left, except when spinning the ball right or down-right. Left gets faster spin in those two directions. My one trackball test CP has buttons both sides; my two trackball CP has button to left of the TBs (couldn't fit on both sides). --- End quote --- Definitely prefer trackball left, buttons right. (Remember having to cross my hands over when playing Centipede). --- Quote ---Spinner: spiner right, buttons left. Planning to have buttons on both sides of the spinners on my two spinner CP. --- End quote --- Agreed spinner right, buttons left. Possibly conditioned from Tempest. At least that's how I remember playing it. Maybe I should find an actual Tempest game before I commit to my spinner module. --- Quote --- Trigger/thumb stick: feels nicer with right, but I actually play better with my left if only a trigger button. If both trigger & thumb button, right wins both in feel and preformance. My 2 player thumb & trigger stick CP has buttons on both sides of both sitick. --- End quote --- Feels better left. I never played much TRON, but I think I would cross hands on it. --- Quote ---Mouse & keyboard: mouse right, keyboard left. --- End quote --- mouse left, keyboard right, but I don't do that thing with the buttons swapped around, though. |
