--- Quote ---i took it from jave in a post i found was it yours originally? --- End quote --- If you are refering to me, the design you posted on the first post isnt the one you ended up testing. I was refering to the test you did with scrap wood, as it looks almost exactly like the one I planned out. (And "tested" using a cardboard box) (IE the 7 button thing) Play some games with your layout, I would like to get feed back since the buttons are arranged almost exactly as the ones I have planned. The cardboard prototype I made seemed to work just fine and I played it for awhile and it was comfortable. |

It's personal preference, but I think your Player1 joystick is too far off to the left. I guess it will depend on how often you're playing games that only require the use of one joystick, but with my CP I found that I wished I was standing more in front of the monitor instead of off to one side, and your P1 joystick is certainly further to the left than mine is. I mean, in that cardboard mock up, your P1 joystick is lined up with the left edge of your cabinet. In the next revision of my CP, I plan on shifting everything to the right instead of centering the trackball in the very middle. |

yeah its pretty much line up with the edge i was looking at some photos of peoples cabs (knievel, mountains mame) and it seemed like thats where their joysticks were. i agree it would be nicer to have the joystick closer to the center, but how would you make the control panel look uniform when everything is shifted over to the right? also how are u dealing with the player 2 joystick? are u going to have that way off to the right? btw katie, this is the design iam talking about (which i got off javes post) http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/9782/controlsyy3.jpg i just added a 7th button after a few minor measurements :oP will let u know how it works out for me |

And thanx, I wont be getting any MDF for a few weeks to start out on my own, so it would be nice to get info on how it works out, seeing as how close in design your 7 and my 7 button layouts are. |

the only thing thats stopping me from starting my control panel is iam not sure where i want the joysticks if i put them near the edge its great for the trackball but the players are a bit off to the side of the screen if i put them closer its better for the players but the trackball is very close to the plyer 2 joystick its been bothering the heck outa me |
