4-way stick placement.

Todd H:
You know, I still haven't seen a review of the Omni-Stick yet.  I know Kevin is supposed to review one soon, but I figured somebody out there has bought one.
NoBonus:
I agree, anybody use one of these yet?

In keeping this thread on-topic...  :)

I am working on a desktop panel with two eight-ways, a four-way (all Wico, the 8-ways are Robotron size), and four buttons (Neo-Geo layout).  I have the 8-ways on either end and the 4-way just left of center.  The buttons are just right of center, with the second button the same distance from center as the 4-way.  Looks like it's going to work out well...you could simply add buttons to complete the Capcom setup (I might do that myself, as a matter of fact).

Line both joystick up in a row before the buttons.

The TALLEST joystick goes on the right and the shorter one goes on the left. If you do it this way then you can install them RIGHT NEXT to each other without them getting in the way of each other. You will need a bit of space between the sticks if both are the same height, but if you are using a Wico or Happ stick combined with a Reunion stick then you can literally install them with the bases touching.

I have done this in several cabinets (including ones I custom built for people) and it works out very well, better than switchable because then you can set the 4-way games to use the 4-ways and the 8-ways to use the 8-way and not have to worry about people getting confused and playing games in the wrong mode.
