My Control Layout V1

[Fitznab]

Hello all,

This is my first draft of my button layout.  I want the 6 Capcom buttons, but also the MK3 thumb run button.  I used a little bit of an angle for what I think would be a more ergonomic feel.  Any thoughts or comments about layout or spacing?

Also, what size diameter whole is need for a joystick?

Diameter depends I guess on how much throw needed.   I've seen 1-1/4" and 1-1/8".  I used the latter and it's fine.

I personally don't like ergonomic buttons but it's a matter of preference really and I think it's solid.  Now show us the rest.

Before I actually start drilling I'm going to attach the control to some cardboard and play to see what works.

Now show us the rest. 

That the next step.  Need to figure out how much room I need for 4 players.  I'm thinking a depth of about 16" for buttons and wrist space, total length about 36-40" with the sides angled to give players more room.  I may try and find a Simpsons cabinet around town and start measuring.
