| Control Panel Limitations *** 3 designs to choose from - opinions please |

| Franco B:
Have you thought about putting your start/admin etc buttons on the front of the panel? That would give you a little more room and make it look less cramped. |
| surface tension:
With careful button selection, you can combine mouse buttons with arcade controls... |

Franco, as you know that would make the CP less hot-swappable (even though I know I will only have one CP!) st, how is this possible? |
| Franco B:
Well you could either wire up a D sub connector or similar for those few buttons or a more simpler (but longer swapping) option would be to use bullet connectors for the individual buttons. Either way shouldnt add more than a minute for the swap, the d sub would be the better option as it would only take a couple of seconds. |
| metaHipster:
a hot swappable modular control panel may be another thing to consider. http://beersmith.com/mame/controls.htm at the very least, check out how he uses ethernet (RJ45) plugs & jacks for super fast/easy CP swapping. |
