Astounding, the fervor for an Asteroids button layout

That will only work because the shield button is placed too stupidly to use in time.

After much testing, it was purposely put in a stupid place to make the game harder by the game devs...duh

After much use, I would like to pound them into the very depths of hell with my thumbs...duh

I might be in the minority here, but I kinda like the Asteroids button layout, I wouldn't want to play asteroids any differently.
Though looking at this guy's layout, it looks like his spacing is just a bit too wide no?
I dunno about you guys, but I've found the most comfortable way of playing Asteroids is to have your left hand's Middle and Index fingers controlling the Steering, and Thumb hovering over shield/hyperspace. Then the right hand can concentrate on rapid shooting and thrust -- but this guy's layout makes it hard to have your thumb hovering over the shield/hyperspace button. Perhaps he's got larger hands, or really long thumbs?
Anyways, I give him kudos for having a dedicated asteroids layout in that CP. He must like the game that much. I mean, is there any other use for an Asteroids layout other than perhaps Track and Field? But, there are other things on his CP that should get more attention than this -- like his dual spinners on the right, or the obscurely placed triple buttons above the P1 side. Or that grey thing hanging off the front edge of the CP that looks like an ashtray...what is that thing?

READ THE THREAD!!!!
We have already covered that the dual spinners are for an etch a sketch emulator.
The obscure buttons on the 1p side are obviously for using the joystick and games that have 3 buttons. Why not use the top three buttons? To that I only say, why have an Asteroids layout? Its all about (semi) authenticity!!!!
The grey thing is probably for karaoke, don't know exactly how you use it for karaoke, but that's what my instincts are telling me. And if you disagree with me, well, lets not get into that.
Doesn't make sense to have an ashtray, the cigarettes would just be put out on the CP so that you would have cigarette burns, to make the CP more authentic
