Anyone know the most "space-sensitive" layout for two players and a trackball in the middle? Preferably 6 buttons each, but I'll sacrifice to 4 if need be. I was hoping for a 26"-28" wide CP. thanks |

Here is my 27.5" panel. I fit the 2 sticks/6 buttons with no problem, and it's still comfortable for two players. I added an offset "thumb" button to player one for the Defenders "reverse" function or offset Neo Geo button. The trackball mounting plate is a big space eater. If you're comfortable making the panel so the ball can just poke through the panel, you can make the layout even roomier. |

when you say "just poke through the cp" are you saying without the mounting plate?? also, i think thats a bit deep for my style...have you ever seen that setup with the trackball in-line with the joysticks? |
| TOK:
Yes, there are quite a few people who did the trackball without the plate. That'd let you move it up, and you could also use 3 of the joystick buttons as buttons for the ball if you need to. I eventually want to add a spinner, that's why I left the space above the ball. |

cool, anyone have any concrete designs for something like this - or is it like everything in cabinet making: The cardboard Mock-up? Cardboard mockup with all the parts would work i guess. |
