| Which buttons should I double as mouse buttons? |

I have an IPAC and an Opti-PAC. My control panel is setup for two players with six buttons apiece. I had the left and right mouse buttons hooked up to player 1, button 1 and p1, b2, respectively. That was causing problems within windows (cntrl button + mouse ... yuck) and was affecting the response of button 1 in games like Track & Field (made player 1 slower). I removed the wiring from button 1 to the Opti-PAC and the Track&Field speed is fine ... so that was the problem. Question is: What buttons SHOULD I hook the mouse buttons up to? I don't really want to add new buttons. My panel is modular but that doesn't really factor in here. Thanks, Matt |

I'm imagining buttons 5&6 would be OK, yes? |

That will be better but not perfect. If you want the mouse buttons to not influence the games separate buttons would be the ideal setup. |

When I put together my control panel, I'm going to try doubling the p1 and p2 start buttons as left and right mouse buttons. Sure they're far apart, but I won't be interacting with windows much once it's set up, and if I do need to mess with windows, I'll just use remote desktop from another computer. |

Serious question - Why do you want/need mouse buttons on your control panel? Personally, I like to go for as few admin buttons as possible. That way, when people come over there's less that they can screw up. Unless you're playing PC games on it, I'd try to eliminate the mouse buttons altogether. Once your cabinet is setup, if you set it up correctly, you should *almost* never have to touch Windows. In fact, if the cabinet is not networked, I would go as far as to say that you should never have to touch Windows. |
