| Extra CP Buttons |

I'm almost finished making my 4-Player CP for my new cabinet. I have a question about extra buttons on the CP though. How many extra buttons should I have. I currently have Player 1-4 start buttons, 6 buttons for players 1 and 2 and 4 buttons for players 3 and 4. Do I need buttons for my trackball? If so, how many is ideal? Also, should I put other buttons on there for credit, pause, escape, etc.? Thanks in advance for you help. |

Anyone have any suggestions? |

What encoder are you using? For instance, I have my keywiz's (multiple panels/arcades) setup to use the shazam (shift funtion) for administrative keys. For instance: Shazam + --BINGO! Either that, or I was attempting to say "before" but it was too many letters to type-- = Exit Shazam + B1 = Tab Shazam + B1 = Pause I have more, but you get the idea. If I were you I would consider extra buttons (two at least / three at most) for the trackball. That way if you are in windows it will feel more mouse-like. That is strictly my opinion ;) Post you panel! -b |

Credit - Generally like using the coin reject swithches, but if you don't have a 4-player coin door, I would add them. Pause - Yes. Escape - Yes, but maybe not a full-size button and maybe not on the main top of the CP. |

The administrative buttons can be small ones that take up little space on the panel. Or, if you want, use the shift/shazamm keys instead. For the trackball buttons, I had smaller panels, so I took a swappable approach; however, its a matter of preference, as the bttons can be seperate or the first the P1 buttons, just run wires to both your encoder and trackball. |
