Mount them stick side up...

*lol*  Good one! 

I'm mounting my T-Stik Plus sticks vertically...just seemed to be more intuitive, plus it moved it a bit further away from the buttons if you're using Lusid's button/joystick layout.

not having a dig at you, but im always amazed at what mystifies people! its four microswitches actuated by a shaft. you can physically see how it works. nuff said  ;)

on the other hand, some of you guys would be amazed at how software issues mystify ME  :'(

DarkKobold:
danny, I'd usually side with you, but I mean, just for a moment....

If you spent six hours building a panel, and used intuition to guess it... and your intuition didn't work.... Wouldn't you go crazy?

A quick painless question. No harm no foul.

Now if he tried serving budweiser instead of miller...

Ken Layton:
Speaking as an expert who has literally built hundreds of control panels, I mount them wide (horizontally) most of the time. It all depends on the particular cabinet and how much space there is on the control panel when it's attached and in playing position on your cabinet.  If there's not much room and you have a two joystick game, then you should mount them vertically.
