| 4 button CP - diamond or square config??? |

Basically like everyone else said - #1 - Neo-Geo pattern - good for all games (with some learning) #2 - Flattened diamond - good for two button games, three button games, Vanguard, and can work for some 4-button games #3 - Square - only really good for 2-button games and Tekkan. |

You either end up putting your middle finger in an unnatural position by going for the near button, or you end up with the near button under your finger while hitting the far button. (Which really annoys me). --- End quote --- Sounds like your diamond isn't as squashed as mine. The only time I have to put my middle finger in an unnatural position is when someone insults my layout. |

You don't use the bottom button for the middle button though, do you? |

I prefer the Neo Geo style myself self as well. I have the diamond layout on one of my panels and I don't find it comfortable to us unless I'm playing Vanguard. If the buttons are in a square or diamond, I find it hard to reach all over the panel to hit the buttons you want. |

Reeb: "Reach all over"? That's how I feel about Neo Geo layouts.... heh. With diamond, I keep one finger on the right one and one on the left. (For games where you habd JUMP and ATTACk). Then the top of the diamond shape is the "special" (bomb, magic, special attack) and it's not hard to hit it. |
