Control Panel Database: Post a picture of your Control Panel!
Green Giant:
Using two GPWIZ49's for all the buttons and joysticks. Powering the trackball with an optiwiz. The seven buttons per player, trackball, and left and mouse buttons are electric ice RGB buttons powered by two ledwiz's.
Kaytrim:
Dad's Bartop based on Centipede. Image file is also attached. T-Stick plus, Bestons trackball, Happ buttons and Groovy Game Gear credit button. Pause and quit buttons are hidden on the underside of the CP.

Just your average 4 player control panel.
My ultimate goal was to have as many controls on the panel as I could....
as long as it was 'comfortable' to use.
I didnt want any awkward 4-way sticks or spinners that you have to 'reach' for.
I made sure to have the trackball centered, with the 3 buttons to the left in a comfortable position, so
you can rest your left hand on the panel without any other control interfering.
I wanted to add 2nd joysticks for player 1 & player 2 for smash TV (I luv that game. Once again, they
had to be a 'comfortable' feel. I didnt want to have to 'mooch' off of player 3 or 4's joysticks.)
EwJ:
Threw together a panel last year to test some controls (and do some desktop mame) until I get all the stuff together for a cab. Used a couple of boards from an old shelf unit - 5/8 laminated mdf.
Encoder is a GPWiz49, joy on left is a 49-way, joy on right is a Wico 8-way Leaf.
6 button layout blatantly ripped off from Knievel's projects.
7th button- lower left- for easy access with thumb(s).
Artwork selected for simple red/blue (like bottom front of ArtMAME's CP, other projects, multi-Williams, etc). Not really a Deadhead, but this red/blue image was handy at the time.
Recently added: Ponyboy leaf switch to main action button.
fl0yd's rotary switch.
Couple of translucent buttons.
