Yes another lame question question about a cp design. This being my first (and probably last) attempt at building an arcade cab I wanted to make sure I wasn't making some really dumb mistake. I'm going to be using the IPAC, all mounting plates will be flush mounted with artwork on top (that's another pain in my backside but that's in another post) and Lexan overtop of the whole thing.
This was done in Visio. measures 32" x 14" in reality it will be 32" x 15" because when I printed it out just felt like I needed a little extra room at the bottom to rest my hands when using the trackball.

Looks good with the exception of your 4 way joystick placement. I can see you tried to move it left of the trackball and keep it uniform, but if you play Golden Tee type games, broken fingers are in your future. If you don't play them, I think you'll be fine.
Cheers,

No spinner?

I did try to move the 4 way joystick left of the trackball specifically for games like Golden Tee.

I liked someone's suggestion (can't remember who it was) of putting the 4 way stick just to the left of the main 8 way stick. Although, not sure if you'd have the room on that CP for it.

If you're not going to play Golden Tee then don't worry about it. If you are, then just move it left a couple of inches.

i would just lose the 4way or just get 8/4 way switchable joysticks if you really want a 4way, that will definately interfere with golden tee
