Title: MK3 Control Panel Layout Needed
Post by: TheShaner on May 27, 2015, 09:36:39 am
I am about to build a fight stick for my XBox one using the pad hack approach.  That's all fine and easy.  I need a MK3 button layout template though.  I have either lost my internet savvy, or it is tricker to find than originally thought.  Anyone got a link to some layout templates?

Yeah, I found this, but its not ready for print.  The sizing is off.  I was hoping to find something that was sized correctly already.  Thank you though.

so what exactly do you want? a template or actual art?

Those measurements look right to me, but I dont have my MK cab in front of me.

I am building the artwork right now, so I wanted an overlay to put in place to make sure I design correctly.  I will probably just use one of my previous control panel layouts and tweak the arrangement a bit to match the button placement.

Well the button measurements in the first example are dead on balls to the documentation that came with my MK3. The circles might not be where they should be, but all you need to do is make a 1 1/8" circle in your editing software and place the centers the same as the measurements.
