Where should I put my start buttons? Poll
Mister Hat:
Middle is definitely more traditional and IMO looks the best.
DCsegaDH:
I like the middle, it looks the best.
DaOld Man:
In the middle, definitely not in the front. My second machine I put those and the escape (game quit) button on the front. Big mistake especially with the game quit. People tend to lean into them and mess up the game. We finally got some covers with finger holes for the buttons just to prevent that. May not be a problem with the start buttons, but it might if you are just scrolling through your list on the front end.
Turnarcades:
Buttons on the front panel are no problem and actually more appropriate on certain cabinet designs ( such as those based on Euro JAMMA cabinets like ours, where the playing stance has the player away from the machine. On those with larger flat surfaces we've always kept start buttons directly above each player, but on your panel where the centre line is actually towards the top, I'd have to say the centre would be the best place.
monkey puzzle:
I was suprised to see that most people prefer them in the middle because I couldn't remember control panels being like this at the arcades. How wrong I was, I just looked at lots of pictures of arcade machines and this seems to be the most popular layout. I am now torn between having them in the middle, or having them above each player. :-\
