So change the "shifted" button to a button that is centrally located on the CP. CPs with less "Command" buttons are always better.

Why clutter up your artwork? Another thing is, it can be very advantageous to NOT allow anyone to know the command buttons. Imagine you have friends, and a bunch of them are over playing games. Do you want to have others going though your computer, looking for games?

I have a pause button on mine ..... I like it a lot.   I have two kids who need stuff a lot .... so pausing is a necessity for me.  Making it easy was key for me as well as friends who play.   Friends and family tend not to remember how to perform shift key operations for pausing and other similiar options like that.   I always add individual buttons.

I used a dedicated pause/escape button on my CP- but I mounted it underneath the CP itself. The part of the CP that overhangs and sticks out towards the players, I moounted buttons underneath that- so no one knows they're there, but, are easily accessed for either player to hit. I mounted the escape button off to the left side so it wouldn't be mistaken in a heated game...  Keeps your CP clean and free of buttons, yet, still gives you full control of having them...

I have a dedicated pause button.  It's nice to have, especially when someone else needs to pause.  You can get away with a button combo to do pause though since you have an instruciton card.
