What you should do is make a giant autobot head shaped control panel |

Anyone know the width of that CP? (so I can add the appropriate inches to include my trackball as well) --- End quote --- Don't know but it looks HUGE on this pic: (second one down) http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=7667 |

If you keep the same width of your control panel but decide "not" to angle the joysticks then are the players1/3 and players 2/4 going to bump shoulders/elbows while playing games? I thought you angled player3/4 joysticks to provide space for the players ..... |

When you get the occasional 4 player game - they'll make room. |

I think giving the occasional elbow nudge inspires more competition in the game and brings the whole level of play higher. heh heh. But for as often as I actually have 3 other people to play with, I'm not too concerned about it. |
