Ultimate Button Layout - Need to add a 7th button
(1/3) > >>
cmoses:
I did a lot of research on button layouts and found 3 styles that I liked - straight 6 American layout, curved design with raised middle buttons and the ultimate button layout (see below).  I mocked them all up in cardboard and have decided on the ultimate button layout design that I found on this web page.  It was worked up by Javeryh and XyloSesame on here.

I wanted to add a 7th button to this design to give it a little more flexibility.  I was hoping to get some help and advice as to where to put this 7th button.  Since this design is unique I am not sure what the best location is.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Its typical to put it in the curve of the bottom 3, such as shown here in the 8 button layouts, minus the top left button - http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/layout.html

Wow, Wish I'd know about that site when I was laying out my CP. Really good info there.

It's going in my bookmarks!

Here's a panel (and a cab) that I based a lot of my layout on, not quite the same but i thought it was a really nice layout at any rate.
