| How much space between P1 and P2 controls? |

I'm laying out my CP and am just lookif for information on how much space everyone leaves between the controls. Mainly if you measure from the right most button for P1 to the Joystick for P2, how much space is there. ANd does it feel too crowded. I don't want to put something together and then end up rubbing against whoever I'm playing with all the time. But I don't want to have the buttons too far to the outside of the CP either. Any input would be great. Thanks. |

On my cab I'm trying to decide the same thing... although its a bit easier for me as I have a big trackball that I want to place between the controls. You could always angle the controls slightly to give each player a bit more room if you're struggling for space on the cp itself. |

At that width, the joystick and buttons are all the way on the edge. It leaves a little room in the center, but it's needed for 2 adults to comfortably play a fighting game. |

I'm having the same tough choices. I've put together a mock-up of my control panel out of cardboard and like the dimensions of it. I then went out and bought a 2'x4' sheet of Poplar Cabinet Grade plywood for the panel. (I actually got it in 0.75" thickness since I can't see 0.5" thick plywood being strong enough after routing out the top part for the joysticks). Anyway, I too am now facing a tough choice about controller spacing. I could make my control panel wider and allow for four players, or should I make it a bit narrower and just focus on two players? ARRRRGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!! |

I finally brought my wife downstairs into the shop yesterday and said "Stand here". We just kind of pretended we were playing and it seemed OK. Don't have any pics with me but I'll post something when I get home if I remember. |
