Standard or smaller buttons for coin, start and service functions?

CrazyKongFan:

Here's what I have, which works pretty good for me so far. On the CP, I have 2 joysticks, 3 buttons per player, 2 start buttons (all 8 are regular concave buttons), and I have 3 small push buttons I got from Radio Shack: ESC, TAB and Pause. I also have 2 buttons on the front of the cabinet for coin 1 and 2 (I also have the switches inside wired up, but I only have 1 mech installed in the door, until I can get another one). Also have a momentary 1P2T switch inside the door for test and reset. I'm just using a regular keyboard hack I did myself, rather than something like an IPAC, but it works good, so I see no need to change. Having the ESC and TAB lets me do some changes on the fly, if I decide I want a different dip switch setting, or I'm not happy with some other setting.

edit: Here's the small buttons I used:

I'm putting TAB inside the coin door. I don't want people messing with my settings.

As of now, my CP has 2 Happ Universal sticks, 7 buttons per player (wired as six), 1 & 2 player starts, Pause, Exit (out of the way on the upper left so it doesn't get hit by mistake), a spinner (usb optical mouse hack), and I'm considering adding pinball buttons. Shifted ~ for MAME and coin mechs wired up. All through a Mini-Pac.
