Off-center trackball?

Mine's about 6 inches to the left.


(2 regular joys, 1 on each end, a trackball and a dedicated 4 way)


I'm used to the trackball being off center, but most visitors have a very hard time bowling or playing golf.

My favorite bowling game is World Class Bowling, but I also play Capcom Bowling (and ones like it), which use vertical orientation and have the "alley" on the right side of the screen -- not centered. So I guess it depends on the game. But for me, central placement of other controls is more important than perfect bowling gameplay. I mean, if I really want to bowl, I can go to a real bowling alley. But if I really want to repel the Gorfian army, I need my flight stick in the middle! :)

Minwah:

My trackball is offset to the right (although the control panel isn't finished yet).  I did this as I have a 49-way and a few buttons to the left, then trackball, then spinner (from left to right).  Makes sense for a right-handed player (me) to have the trackball & spinner to the right.

Seems to work great in the small amount of use the panel has had.
