Button Spacing?
gw71mgb:
I've seen designs for CPs where the button spacing runs anywhere from 1.5" to 2.0". What is the optimal spacing in your mind? What's the spacing on various orginal arcade games?

Depends...
Depends if we're talking about a 2-button game, or a 6-button game...
Ideally, keep them close together, so that you can easily keep your fingers "hovering" above them in a natural position.

I use 1.5 inch, but I'm sure it's a personal preference thing. You really shoud make a cardboard mockup to see which feels better to you.

Generally I'd say minimum 1/8" between buttons to maximum 1/4"
