Title: Opinion on button placement please for my Control panel for pinball
Post by: genesim on September 13, 2007, 02:42:14 am

Ok, so we have a set of 2 buttons on each side with a plunger button on the front.

Would you go for 3 on each side?

We have left flipper, left nudge, right flipper, right nudge, and plunger/launch.....

BUT no Bottom nudge!!

Also, I have a purple button to the far TOP left that is from the Slik Stik manufacturer default, but what about putting one to the TOP right?

I am thinking, not only does it make it look "even", but it also serves the purpose of being an extra PAUSE button since there is not ESCAPE button.   

Of course shift buttons can do the same thing, but sometimes I think dedicated is the way to go.   

Any opinions for or against and why would be greatly appreciated.

Thx guys.

!

Did not even read all, but anyway, I did this:

LEFT: Left flipper + left nudge
RIGHT: Right flipper + right nudge & front nudge (Or, as you said, Bottom nudge)

Well, you'll see the button placement on both threads ..

There's no "right" way to go - whatever suits you..

Good luck  :cheers:
