Do you have a picture of this, Aceldamor?  I would love to see what it looks like on a control panel.

Yeah pics would be nice, the diamond is also nice when you want a DC in your cab.
Aceldamor:
Here you go : )  My number 7 button has moved to the left a wee bit since this pic  ;D

The reason, in general, that button layouts dont go 1234 anywhere is cause its really hard to press a button with your pinky. I dunno.. maybe its just me.. I fell through a glass window when I was a kid and Im not sure if I have the full dexterity that a human is supposed to or something...  I mostly dont have any problem if Im using the fingers from my thumb through my ring finger, itd be a different matter though if I had to go with index through pinky.

Annnyway, if I had more space on my cp (currently building a 3sided cocktail) Ace's layout is exactly what Id want, and therefor what I suggest.

Nope - wrong answer.   This has been mentioned before, but the Neo-Geo four-button layout is:

     B  C  D
A

But the intent is:
A - Thumb
B - Pointer
C - Index
D - Ring

Not
A - Pointer
B - Index
C - Ring
D - Pinky

Now, to my thinking, it's easier to use the thumb than the pinky, but easier to use the pointer than the thumb, so they should have made it:

    A   B   C

D

with the thumb as button 4, but that's not very intuitive, and it's not what they did anyway.
