Stargate uses 6 buttons. I use the 7 & 8 button inputs on player 1 and 2 of the I-Pac for "Esc" "Pause" "Tab" and "enter" buttons (need to use the ultimarc programming utility for that)

Hi Red,
Stuff functionality - I vote aestheticism every time! I have a layout very similar to Tiger-Helis except I use a fourth button on each row. (i.e.:)
x x x
x
x x x
x
Just looks better. (oh, of course, it can be mapped to whatever you want as well!) This is mainly because I have the top row red and the bottom blue, so it is good to have it even.
sorry - no real content to this post :-\

Thanks. I think I am just gonna go the standard 6 button route for the control panel, and use the extra buttons elsewhere for a pause and something else.

You did pick up that I said seven buttons and six inputs, right? (Meaning that the seven button layout won't keep you from having an input available for Pause and whatever).
Six button layout is fine as long as you don't want to play Neo-Geo fighters. See http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=7970;start=msg58242#msg58242
