please critique my control panel
pcb:
Yup, that's what I meant, it looked like there were no room for the controls. The box will lift it up usually between 3" and 4". If you already have that covered you should be good to go, if you have a plan to affix the box to the cab, that is.

iam more worried about my actual layout right now
but i appreciate the input
DaveMMR:
1. I'd move the joysticks in a bit on each side (maybe an inch) if you're worried about overhang. You have plenty of room to work with.
2. See if you're comfortable with the distance between the buttons and joystick before committing. There's nothing wrong with the way you have it now, just a suggestion. You can put them closer if needed (i.e space saving).
3. I still don't see any real need for left/right mouse buttons but that's just me.
Otherwise... solid. :cheers:

alright cool
iam gonna make a real mockup tomororw with exact measurements i'll be sure to post it here
i hear ya about the "mouse buttons"
i figure they are good there for the spinner as well

Looking good.
About the overhang: I was planning the same thing, and if done right wont look bad. It gives more space to put quarters, and when playing it, it may make the machine feel bigger and more "Authentic" (atleast this is the impression I get when imagining it). I was also thinking of making the marquee be wider than the main part of the cab, but I may not go with that idea as it may make the cab look dorky..
BTW, how much $$ in wood did you have to put down to get that far in that style of cab? I am curious, as I am under major budget constraints...
