Title: Colored Buttons or Black Buttons, Opinions Requested
Post by: Zeosstud on January 02, 2007, 08:59:02 pm

I am making 2 Xbox 360 Wireless Arcade Control Panels for myself and a buddy, was wondering what you guys thought, should I use Black Buttons or Colored Buttons, the colored ones of course representing the corresponding buttons on the Xbox controller.  I also thought about using the Black Buttons and getting white vinyl lettering for them.  Your opinions welcome.

I usually prefer color but with the background of the panel, I say Black. Cheers.

If that is the final color of the CP top, then BLACK buttons look slick.

If the top where black or some  other solid color I would say make the buttons match the Xbox buttons scheme.

I am glad I got some support on this one, I to was leaning towards black and in fact ordered 16 black buttons from divemaster last year.  I put in the colored ones basically to help the wife discern what button was what.  I like the idea of using a set of the white vinyl sticky labels on the Black buttons maybe.  Or I guess I could just make alittle diagram of what button does what and have it either close by or maybe stick it on the CP somewhere.  The top is laminated and that is how its gonna look, I have no intentions of adding an overylay or anything like that.  Thanks alot for the replies.
