Title: Spinner \ Button positioning
Post by: Hoagie_one on March 31, 2009, 07:53:24 pm

I'm brainstorming on how I want my spinner panel setup and want some opinions.  Ideally, I'd have the spinner on left and a topfire on the right for some tron action, but I'm debating if I want buttons left of spinner or right of spinner for all the other spinner games.  I'm pretty sure I've always played with spinner in left hand though.....see, told ya I was brainstorming.

Any thoughts on this?

Spinner to right of buttons.  Always used by right hand, with the exception of Tron and other joy + spinner games.

Would prefer ambidextrous, but my spinner's are a bit "far" (towards the monitor) on my big panel, so the buttons are close & the spinner is far, but I set up most/all of my spinner games to allow ambidextrous play.

Ditto, except I have a friend who plays spinner left.  So for me, I voted ambidex.  (Plus I like the ambidex look.)
