Ok, since I am not the artistic type I need some opinions I have been putting together my parts for a 4 player control panel based on the UAII CP Plans. I have the Electric Ice buttons and am now considering joysticks. What I need opinions on is colors. What do you feel looks better four of the same color joysticks or a different color stick for each player? Also I am not putting a spinner on the panel, is there any use for a second trackball or is that just too cluttered? Thanks for the help John |

Personally with 4 players, I like to see all 4 joysticks at the same color (usually black) and just have the buttons different. As for the button colors for each player, I like blue, red, green, and orange. Try out some CP designer programs to test your colors out. Look at A TON of examples before committing to any colors as well. EDIT: I think that the aluminum joysticks look great as well if you don't mind the extra price. |

Thanks for the reply Jeff, I have looked at different colors. The colors of led's I can get for the electirc ice buttons are red blue green and yellow, so I will light the buttons with those colors. I realize it is personal preference but I am not the best on color schemes. So I figured I would get some ideas here. My three player Rampage panel has all black sticks, maybe that is telling me something, maybe it's what sticks were around when it was converted... :P |

Very new to the hobby, but I always liked have the joystick and button pattern the same for each player. Just looks neater having it all color coordinated. |

thanks for the input. Since all the buttons will be white when the LED's are not on I am thinking a single color joystick may look better. |
