After doing even MORE research last night, I think I'm getting close to something.  I saw this post by Cakemeister (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=83496.msg872765#msg872765) and I really like his design.  A quick quote of it here:


--- Quote ---1) 2 joysticks with 7 buttons each, or 8 if you like playstation emulation. Build this panel first.

2) a dedicated 4-way joystick, three buttons, and a trackball, for your classic 4-way games, Centipede, Missile Command, etc.
                           
     O     x  x  x     TB

3) a dedicated Defender joystick, 6 buttons in a Stargate-like layout, a spinner, and a flght stick, for Tron, Defender, Star Trek, Tempest, and so on.

This does still present the problem of my Arkanoid spinner...I'll have to look into that a bit more and maybe just make a dedicated Arkanoid CP. ;)

I'm going to end up spending more money on CP overlays than on controls! ;)
