What are you planning to play with your current 6-button layout? It will do Neo-Geo, but won't do Street Fighter well. If you want both, I'm partial to the layout below. It lets you play 1/2/3/4 button games on the bottom row, and 6-button on the bank of them. 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 |

I have 3 rows of buttons (two on the bottom) and I don't have that problem. |

Thanks for your opinions everyone. countchocula8 I will have a think about your design, although it will mean buying an extra button or two :-\. NoOne=NBA= I don't have any huge preferences over any games, I enjoy neogeo games but I play all kinds of games. I was hoping to achieve the most friendly design that would work comfortably with most games. Maybe I should think about doing a 3X2 grid with an extra button for neogeo. I'll have a think about it but I might not add the extra button as it adds to the cost - I know two extra buttons isn't that much more but if you add just a little bit here, then a bit extra over there then suddenly you have spent $100 in extra features that aren't crucial. It's an alright idea though. Thanks again everyone :D |

The two buttons on top of those four are pretty much useless. Almost every 6-button game used the 2x3 layout. Having a 4+2 layout is just going to frustrate you in those games. |
