Please critique my control panel

(1/2) > >>

subzero23:
Here is what I *THINK* will be my final control panel design. The background (the generic capcom/street fighter style part) may change to something else but not the Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga part). The joysticks are two competition and 1 Galaga/Ms.Pac-Man reunion joystick. Please look it as a whole, not just the art. Will go on a Mortal Kombat/Midway style cabinet


In that one ^^ I may make the second reunion button blue so it's red-blue. I might also add words and number my buttons 1-7

Here is an alternate color scheme I may/may not use sometimes to change things up and get that slurpee color scheme goin on.

Also, in general and on real arcade machines, how do people remove the top part of the control panel to access the buttons if they're carriage bolts?

quarterstringer:
You might consider moving the upper two red buttons either left or right so that the red joystick isn't in the way.

subzero23:
Ya I gotta make sure the buttons are just far enough so the person can stick their arm around the right joystick at an angle

should I tilt the buttons 10degrees?

paigeoliver:
This is 10 times more functional and twice as easy to use.

Minwah:
I would just remove the 2 red 4-way buttons, and use the player 2 buttons instead.

I agree to some extent with paige about ease of use, but I wouldn't like having 2 sticks next to each other like that.  Have you considered a 4/8-way switchable stick for P1?
