There are plenty of different button layouts [here].

As for your joysticks, can you not just measure the dimensions between the holes and then transfer that to your CP?

You may also be able to disassemble your sticks and then trace the mounting hole positions.

Got everything I need except for the LS-30's.  Not really wanting to take these all apart to make a template if one already exists. 

Thanks again.

I have some LS-30's at home. If you are unable to, I could measure the mounting plate and hole dimensions and post a drawing?

Are you bottom or top mounting?  Either way, getting it exact should not really be a big deal.  A recess with even a full 1/4" extra space all around doesn't look any worse than a exact tight recess, and will still be structurally sound.  With just hand measuring you should be able to get it within 1/8" easy.

And if its a top mount, just fill it in with wood putty once mounted, its going to be covered anyway (I assume).  Measure the mounting plate, and sketch it out as necessary.

I was just trying to be lazy, especially if someone alrady went to the trouble to do this previously.  Dont have to go and make a drawing for me, I'll figure it all out.

Thanks
Mike
