Maybe just give less buttons (i.e. 1 or 2) to players 3 and 4?

Or make a 3p CP. Yes, it's a little strange, but battletoads and other games used 3 player CPs. That way you wouldn't have that issue w/ too much free space, but it also wouldn't be too crowded.

Here is a good example

I don't think I'm going to have 2 joysticks for each player so I'd go more with design 2 (although your description says it's 2 per player I think you meant 1 per player.

However it doesn't look symetrical.  Player 2 is way too far to the outside.

WHat should be symetrical is where the user will stand.  Each player shoudl stand the same distance from the center.  In the 2 by 1 player 1 would be standing right where the point in the blue area is while player 2 would be standing almost at the corner of the CP.

It there's all that extra room on the ouside of player one, I'd cut that same amount off the other side and then move player 2 in towards the middle so the center of each control grouping is symetrical from the middle.

Kelemvor,
Interesting point.  I should be centering on player "stations" rather than centering on joysticks, where each "station" is a combination of both the joysticks and the buttons.

I had not thought of that.

Thanks.
