Best way to position 6 buttons on control panel?
<< < (2/8) > >>
Ginsu Victim:
One thing though....

Curved, if not drilled perfect, still looks good. Straight, on the other hand, has to be drilled EXACT or else the mistakes will be obvious.
Bender:
I like the curved, but you really have to try them out for yourself like DaveMMR said
vrf:
For a bartop, where the hands are close together, I think an angled curving thing is somewhat more ergonomic. As the hands get further apart (full cabs),  the straight layout works better.
ammitz:
I think that the straight line-up will give each player more space. Because with a curved line up, I think that player 1's right arm would be twisted more towards player 2. Whereas with a straight lineup, player 1 right arm and elbow would go more left.

Is that right, or is it hypothetical thinking?

Personally i like option number 4 a little more than the straight, but it's a close choice.

I prefer the curved Jap layouts but it is just personal preference. As the guys said its best to try a few out to see whats best for you.

Yep thats right. Some candy cab layouts have the player two buttons slightly rotated slighty counterwise (about five degrees) to combat this.
