XBOX 360 Street Fighter Stick #2
Namco:
Ugh, I hate that arched layout. If the buttons aren't in a matrix, I can't find the buttons when I need them quickly. Plus, when you need to press Fierce or Roundhouse repeatedly for a combo, are you really using your ring finger for this? No, you're constantly moving around. Arched buttons are less effective in this way in my opinion, but hey, whatever you're used to is what works.
Anyway, I love buttons that are straight across. 20 years of typing, NES playing, and SF2 playing (on Dynamo cabs with straight-row Happ Comp buttons) can't be wrong. :)
EDIT: That sounded harsh. I'm an ass, don't take it personal, it's me not you. ;D

Hey i'm a complte n00b to the whol arcade scene, but I have ordered everything i need in order to make a custom arcade stick in anticipation of SFIV. I am just wondering how do you attach the plexi to your CPO? Sorry if this has been answered before I searched but couldnt find anything.

For something this small (relatively), the buttons and T-molding are enough to hold it down.

Thanks for the answer! Just hope I can reproduce something as nice as this when I get started. Just out of curiosity where did you get the black laminate from. Thanks!

Everyone can have their own opinion. If you are mashing a button repeatedly, yes I will slide my fingers over, which I can easily do if its arched or straight. If I am comboing by pressing say, roundhouse > strong > jab or something like that (all across the buttons) then no, my hand stays still and easily hits all the buttons. Or if I'm not sure which button is going to be used, at a rest position I can quickly, easily, and comfortably hit any of the six buttons in an instant. You don't move around as much with an arched layout, because you don't have to. But you still can if you want or need to.
Curved buttons have been in Japan just as long as straight buttons have been here, and the NES isn't really a fair comparison since there are only two buttons. The SNES had a diamond matrix (not in a row) which has been copied ever since, and the Genesis controller if I remember right had an arch to their 3 and 6 button controllers. Course I also use ergo keyboards, but again, its just a matter of taste.
