more of an overview, I plan on adding detailed plans measured out to my hands after the overview is done; it is; and I agree with you, I plan on taking measurements from an actual neogeo layout for the placement of that button relative to the others

My cab will be traditional. Two joysticks and a set of 7 buttons for each plus a trackball and a spinner. The least amount of items, the less intimidating it is for a person to jump on it. Last thing I want to do is have to explain how everything works. I'm also adding the LEdWiz so only the controls/buttons needed for the current game being played will be lit. And the only admin buttons will be Pause and Exit Game. Keep it simple, that's my theory.

that is what I would like to do to alleviate the intimidation factor

could I get an analog joystick with the ability to transplant a tron handle onto it with trigger and two thumb buttons?
abzman2000:
this post makes me think you could graft a tron handle (with trigger and 2 thumb buttons [compatibility with other games]) possibly with blacklight LEDs to be connected to an LEDwiz or something so it would only be lit in games it would be used.  Rather than using a barrel connector I could use a stereo plug, well I don't know the proper name but what I mean is a headphone jack.  I have seen ones with 4 connections (like the ipod video connector has video left right and ground)so if I could use the ground for the buttons and LEDs I could have 2 buttons and the LEDs, or just 3 buttons.  although I could forgo the connector and just run some 30 gauge wire through a hole in the side of the shaft like here.  Or maybe I could do this.  I could have a couple u360 tron sticks, a couple u360 rotary sticks ,and a couple normal ball top u360s. 

add 40 or so translucent buttons, a ton of rgb LEDs, and 2 brand new push-pull spinners...... and I would be out a bundle of money

that is why I am looking to get a lot of feedback before starting anything, so please tell me why I'm wrong or that my plan is horrible, just tell me how to do it better too.
