Player 1&2 sticks shall be Happ 49-way with floyds rotary conversion
Player 3&4 sticks shall be Happ Competiton
2 sticks in the middle of the CP are Happ top fire sticks
The trackball shall be Happ 3" translucent blue
not sure on the spinner yet
All buttons shall be Happ translucent

I'm tellin' ya, if you have even an idea that you want to play golden tee, you better move that spinner.  Other than that, it looks great!

The buttons on the left and right of the middle button don't look like they are the same distance apart from the middle button.

Yeah i did move it up a bit, i didnt want to move it up too much other wise it was become uncomfortable to use? @ blakes you maybe right, ill have a look. You dont think player 3&4 controls are too close to P1&2?

So what keyboard/how many keyboard encoders would i need for that CP setup? Will 2 x GP-Wiz49 cover all the inputs, or will i need a I-PAC4 aswell? Also do i need a Opti-PAC for the spinner, as the trackball is a Happ USB/PS2 one, so i wont need a Optic-PAc for that, is there a spinner that uses USB/PS2, cos then i wouldnt need a Opti-PAC at all unless i need one for the 49ways with floyds conversions?

I don't know if you whenever play on topfire joysticks, espacially on 2-hand games. If you use these topfires for 2-hand games, distance between these joysticks is too large.

I wasnt really think about using em for 2 handed games, just for left and right handed players, when used in conjuction with the spinner, mainly Tron. What/how many games, use 2 handed top fire sticks? And how many use top fire and spinner combo, just Tron?

just measured the distance between the 2 top fires, and there only 16 inches apart, which seems ok

The spinner by Groovy Game gear hooks strait into the computer...no optipac necessary. I think SlikStiks Tornado spinner is available with the same feature.
