Newbie 4 Player Control Panel Thoughts
BadMouth:
Meh, keep the trackball centered. The only games where your hand is flying past it (golf and bowling), you're not going at it sideways.
You've already got more clearance than an x-arcade tankstick. I have one of those and have never had anyone hit the joysticks.
That design does keep the trackball more in-line with the joysticks, where you have it farther forward.
Personally, I think you're right to want more clearance in front of it than to the sides.

+1. Also, are you still keeping 6 buttons on P3/P4?

Probably not (just didn't have time to Photoshop it yet). If people that have been at it this long think there is no reason for it I am smart enough to listen

I will lay it all out on a practice panel and see how it all looks and feels.
Not sure what I will end up doing until I can feel it but I do appreciate everyone's thoughts and ideas

I want to commend you, Bobglib1. :cheers:
Obviously, it's your cab and you can do what you want. But a lot of us speak from experience, have physically done the research, have tried and failed, and just enjoy seeing seeing well-made projects. We're not crotchety arcade old-timers stuck in the 80s who insist that things need to be done a certain way, as some who come here and fling this accusation towards us when we point out mistakes (in our honest, well-tested opinions) they've made. I'm glad you're seeing our constructive criticism and advice for exactly what it is.
If we can be of any help, just ask. Ultimately, it's your cab- we want to help you raise the bar with it! :applaud:
