Ideal height of control panel?

<< < (2/4) > >>

MiKman:
my control panel is 38" at the front and 39" at the back. I am 5'8" and it's good for me... standing at it as well as sitting on my bar stools.

Apparently not.

You might play with the height a bit, and see what feels best to you.

My CP is 38 to the front, and feels fine to me.
My 5-yr-old nephew plays it with no problem as well.

sofakng:
Well, if 38" (from the ground) in the front is average then perhaps I just need to actually play the arcade and get used to it... (I still need to finish a few things before I can "test" the height)

The only problem is that I can't change the height of the control panel box without rebuilding the whole thing.  Obviously thats a very very last resort...

I'm glad to hear that 38" is common though... but it still seems quite high for me :)  (and I'm 5'10"!)

pathdoc2:
All of my uprights have been 37 inches from the front edge of the control panel to the ground once the casters are installed.

SideShow Rob:
My control panel height is 42" at the back, 41" at the front.

I am a shade over 6'4" tall, and the missus is 5'3". The height is perfect for the missus - a tad low for me, but perfectly useable and comfortable.

If you control panel feels too high for your g/f...rather than getting a stool straight away, make a wooden plinth for her to stand on (..or get a taller g/f  ;D (only joshin' ...)
