Another CP design asking for Opinions? NOOOOOO!
Czapala:
Hey guys,
First off YES! another thread asking for comments about a CP design. This design is a simple 4P design. I wanted to keep the joysticks lined up for Smash TV, Karate Champ, :blah: .... The Big square above and to the right is my guesstimating on the footprint for a OmniStik Prodigy Topfire. Then to the left the "mouse" buttons followed by a TurboTwist spinner. I made it wide to accommodate playing the Topfire&spinner (aka Tron) with out bumping into other joysticks. Plus I am 6'5" and 350lbs!! the other players need some room :P
ALL comments welcome.

wow that jpg turned out crappy...
Umm no the outside joystick/buttons are not all the way to the edge. Hmm I need to figure out how to get a better picture from Visio.
Czapala:
Here is a better one. I used UncleT's CP idea for an extended middle front for pinball buttons. and added a border to give a more accurate view.
ahofle:
Looks nice except you'll need to be careful when playing trackball games like Golden Tee (you will bang your hand into the topfire while driving). You may want to consider moving the stick above the red buttons instead. Also, I used a topfire and spinner for Tron too, and I must warn you that it sucks IMO. It's 8 way and works fine for the spider and MCP cone levels, but sucks for the light cycles (you will be zig-zagging all over the place). You may want to wait until there is a trigger stick add-on for the new analog stick from ultimarc, as you'll probably be able to have a 'tron mode' on it. My plan is to replace my top fires with something like that eventually.

just curious why you have the 4 buttons in a square like that. i thought most 4p games only used 3 buttons so it might be better to line them in a row.
