GaryMcT's 2-player generic control panel layout
GaryMcT:
Borrowed a friend's Hori Ex2 360 stick today. . made me realize that the Astro City layout works really well for Neo Geo layout games even with just 6 buttons. I contemplated using the top row as the three rightmost and use the bottom left for the thumb button is the old button layout that I had, but the thumb was too far right. The Astro City layout seems perfect for this sort of thing, which allows me to get rid of the thumb button which has problematic given my space constraints. Still too busy to build it, but here's what I'm going to try next:
Here's the stick that I played on that made me think to try this:

I borrowed the stick from a friend so that I could see how it felt given that I'm going to bulid a stick for a friend for his PC. I have really bad ergo problems with using a 360 controller myself, so I think this has probably pushed me over the edge for building one for myself for the 360. I'd love to play the new Robotron-style Zombie game that is on the 360 that a friend worked on, but I'd definitely need analog sticks for that.

You just piqued my interest with that comment by combining two of my favorite things: zombies and Robotron!
