Yet another "Please critique my Control panel design"

[specfire]

Any feedback would be very welcome.  I am finally getting back to the hobby after about 2 years away.  I have a cut-corner Dynamo Cabinet taking up space in my basement that I have decided to get rid of since I will never finish it.  A stand alone control panel is far more achievable for me.

Panel dimension 10" x 22.5"

Parts:

HAPP 2.25" TBall
U360 joysticks
TT2 spinner

the spinner can go in any of the button holes across the top.

I will never play street fighter so don't need 6 buttons and I thought that 5 buttons laid out in this manner would be easier to find in frantic gameplay then if they were in a standard grid layout.

Is there any reason you want 5 buttons? I cant think of any games that used 5 buttons in that type of configuration.

If you are not going to be using 6 buttons I would personally use four in the neogeo layout.

I seccond franco, I can think of mortal combat, but its layed out in an X.

The spinner in any of the button holes is kindof optimistic. The mechanic is much bigger. Or the spinner must have a very long shaft to get past the button switches.

The GGG TT2 fits in a standard 1 1/8" button hole.

Does that spin and have some momentum? Looks more like a potmeter.
