anyways, any help would be cool.

MK3 also added a sixth button on the bottom left for the "run" function.

Me too.  I just laid my fingers on the buttons and marked where my thumb fell.   Of course test ANY layout on some cardboard first.

Yes, test any layout on a cardboard box first. thats all that matters, whatever is the most comfortable to you. but It's nice to have some reference to go by. I also couldn't find the measurements for the MK layout. I placed my run button closer than it is supposed to be, but thats what felt the best to me.

thanx for all the help.  the measurments helped, now its just a matter of moving the buttons and making everything feel right.  i got a big piece of cardboard and set everything in.  its sooo cool to see what it looks like.  next is drilling.
