Spinner right-handed or left?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Dawgz Rule:
I mirrored the buttons on either side of the spinner.

Unless you have been using the control frequently and trained yourself to one hand which it doesn't sound like you have. I don't think it will make much diference.

I'm fully right handed for everything, but learnt to use my mouse left handed for ergonomic reasons and to protect against rsi. It was surprisingly easy, and I would say I am more proficient left handed now because that's where it normally sits.

danny_galaga:

If you are right handed, you'll probably want it on the right. But as some have said, you could centre-mount it unless you already have a trackball there...

epetti:
Thanks for all the feedback, everyone.  It's been helpful.  My spinner isn't center mounted the way I currently have it planned, but it will have buttons on either side that can be co-opted from the Player 3 controls.  I wasn't aware that for some of the older spinner games MAME actually had keys you could map to for buttons on either side.
