Are you planning on playing any Golden Tee or any other golf games? If so, get rid of the 4way above your trackball..... As you'll be wacking your hand into the 4way during your upswings. Also, I find it easier if you mount the mouse buttons above the trackball. -GGKoul |

Yea, my cp is very similar as well. Except I have my buttons rotated a bit and my 4 way off to the right so it doesn't get whacked by my friends playing golden tee. |

Here's what I came up with after a change or 2. As for the coin/player start buttons, I like the start buttons to be in a "standard" arcade spot at the top center, I'd prefer to have them closer together, but the 4 way stick gets priority. The coin buttons as I said might end up being on the side ala the hotrod se joystick (I know, blasphemy) Trackball changes - http://www.electricquarter.com/wulfpanel2.jpg --- End quote --- This is nice, since you have three mouse buttons for missile command and your 4-way is out of the way of anyone playing golden tee on your trackball. The only thing I would do is lessen the degree of arch between the three mouse buttons. If your hands are small it'll be awkward to reach that center button. You can rig up a coin mech to take coins, or you can rig your coin door to add credits when you press the reject button. |

Maybe it's just me, but could you use the player 1 or player 2 buttons for use with the trackball? That way either left or right handed players can use the trackball and you don't need to clutter the control panel. Then you can use the three buttons above the trackball for mouse buttons (to navigate windows if necessary). I have a very similar layout to you, except I kept the trackball centered and only have 2 buttons next to my 4-way. I can use the player 1 buttons for games like missle command which need 3 buttons and can still use the mouse buttons for PC Golden Tee. |
