My CP Layout
Trimoor:
Here is the first beta prototype of my control panel.
Please ignore differences in color, and minute errors in symetry (something my mother was unable to do).
To those who said there isn't enough room for two joysticks and a trackball on a 17" panel, I say:
:P :P :P :P :P :P :P ;D
You like?
Also, should the joysticks go up higher, or lower, or stay where they are?
Goz:
Is button 1 for each player closest to the joys or vice versa? Looks like fingers could collide in a fierce game of Metal Slug.
Trimoor:
I'm not sure what you mean, but since each player has an opposite control config, hands are not likely to crash.
Forgot to mention, this is for a vertical cab. No metal slug here.
Is 3 buttons per player enough?
Or should I make it four?
Start/admin buttons will be elsewhere.
l8nite:
I like your layout, but I might be inclined to move the buttons just an inch or so upwards. Trying to simulate it on the table in front of me, it felt awkward reaching so much further than the buttons for the joystick.
Just my two cents, and I haven't built my own panel yet so it's worth more like $0.002.

Trimoor:
The buttons cant move upward without hitting the trackball, which is also up as far as it can go.
The sticks however can be moved inward, upward, and downward without hitting anything.
