Single player joystick+butons only layout
<< < (3/3)
GoPodular.com:
It isn't far away at all, it's actually very comfortable.  Of course it's my own product so take my opinions with a grain of salt.   :angel:

Here's a couple pics to show how close it is.  The joystick is a Happ Reunion 4-way.
MajorLag:
Yeah, that doesn't look too bad. I don't know. I'll have to create a few mockups to work with I guess. Thanks for the help guys.

Oh, and nice panel BTW GoPodular.
GoPodular.com:
Thanks.  I've got a few more I'll be putting up on my website.

Do some cardboard mockups, you'll get it set right.
RobotronNut:
here's a possible layout i've been playing with for a minimal "travel panel." plays a lot of games and is very comfortable, based on a paper print-out.

unfortunately, i don't know of a good way to keep such a small panel from moving around during frenzied game play (my 40-lb slikstik is barely heavy enough not to move around when i'm playing robotron).

if installed in a cabinet, i'd think this layout would do nicely. in a cabinet, where you have more space, you could move the left-most joystick and button to the left a couple of inches.


teef two:
Well I would just go with a four way, possibly something like a j-stik (from ultimarc) and just route out a long oval in the panel so the joystick shaft can only move up and down.

In a dedicated defender panel the button would not be that close to the joystick. The distance is approx. 78.7 mm from the centre of the joystick to the centre of the reverse button (the nearest button). More than enough gap for mounting both.

This is my defender control panel design. Based on T-Stiks
