Cakemeister:

You forgot the dedicated 'O' and 'K' buttons!

I think the right way to do it is limit the controls to the essentials. If you want an "ultimate" 2 player control panel, just copy one of Knievels.

Heres an example of some arcade controls for 2 players.

* Smash TV, Vindicators and Total Carnage require 4  8 way joysticks with at least one of them being a pushbutton joystick.
* Marble Madness requires 2 trackballs
* Console games can take as many as 8 buttons per player
* Forgotten worlds requires a push/pull spinner
* Arkanoid 2, puzzloop, and blasteroids requires 2 spinners
* Karate Champ requires 4 four ways
You might as well give up trying to build a perfect control panel. Your best bet is to determine what games you plan on playing on it. If your answer is "As many as I can", your on your way to a nice frankenpanel. Nothing wrong with a frankenpanel, but I don't build them.
