Button Layout - Ergonomic vs Standard

Pages: (1/5) > >>

Hey Guys,

I'm almost ready to start on my CP but I can't decide which button layout to use. Most people seem to use the standard two rows of three with the optional thumb button. Then I've seen some people who use that layout but layer the buttons which looks like very ergonomic.

I've made two working single player test CPs to try both layouts. After playing hours on both I'm still undecided. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Heres some pics of the two layouts...

Its really up to you and what seems more comfortable , i use the straight 3-3.

I use the straight lines also, I think it is a better arrangement for the most games, specially the old school ones.

Is your "ergonomic" layout actually ergonomic (more comfortable, with less stress on your wrist, fingers, etc...)?

Turning my hand sideways to use a layout like that is actually LESS comfortable to me, and causes MORE stress on my playing hand.

Also, on a 2-P cabinet (which isn't the case here, but should be noted), the ergonomic layout will cause player 1 to turn his elbow out toward player 2 to get comfortable.
This may cause a friendly game of Street Fighter to reach a whole new level of reality.

I had trouble deciding that too. I think that the angled arrangement is nicer looking though so I went with straight-lines (versus a curve), but slightly angled up and to the right.
