Those 2 buttons will get hit when your playing bowling or golden tee. You should consider moving them.

Good luck with the build.

RoninEditor:
Ah, good point about the admin keys.

Nothing wrong with the admin button placement, you'll just need to countersunk them so that the button tops are flush with the plexi or whatever you'll be using on top of the overlay. Easy access & still out of the way.. No unintentional pausing or anything.

Well, I'll be doing something similar with my trackball/mouse buttons on my next build (or the one after that ...;) )

Good luck  :cheers:

I'd be careful about countersinking buttons directly in front of the trackball. A Golden Tee game could turn into a finger ripped wide open. I did it myself on an older GT cab back in the day, there was a counter sunk screw near the monitor bezel. I damn near went to the emergency room for stitches!

RoninEditor:
I was going over a 're-plan' but I kinda think they might be okay there, with a normal button installation... only because I only would use the trackball for maybe 5% of all games and I don't get too crazy with Golden Tee... my drunk friends... ah, maybe a different story, haha.  Most of us use the hands ahead of the trackball, reaching back with the thumbs 'method'... vs. what I've seen at bars, where dudes, like, damn near Happy Gilmore style run at it and hammer it, sometimes hitting the monitor plexi with their hands, LOL.  We're a lot more casual than that, haha. 

I wasn't gonna place any admin buttons on top (the rest are on the side, pinball style) but I thought it might be good for easy Mala menu navigation, as well as a quick pause without looking for it.
