Opinions on a "Tron" CP

(1/3) > >>

lostwire:
Since I'm closing in on building my first CP I figured it would be best to get a few opinions on it before I commit to a layout I may regret. The bottom three buttons to the right of the track ball is my biggest concern right now due to the fact they are only about 3/4' away from the bottom of the panel. As with all the other blue buttons they'll be lighted Wicos so I'm hoping it's just a matter of routing out a bit of wood from the inside of the box behind the grid (see 2nd pic) that the CP sits on top of. By the way the 2nd pic is just a mock-up with an older CP design.

Directly above the 3" Happ track ball at the top of the CP is a Tornado spinner & the sticks will be Happ 360s.

Or no analog/trigger Joy.  I don't think PLAYING Tron was the intention, just a Tron theme.  And for a tron theme, this is pretty freakin' awesome.  Can't wait to see it all finished!

My only complaint is that you can't actually PLAY Tron with that setup.

I would also just remap/rewire three of the P1/P2 buttons to perform the same function as the three you are worried about, and lose those.

That was my thought - those bottom buttons are going to be in the way, I think.  In fact, remap both the p1 and p2 bottom three buttons to be trackball buttons as well, and then you can have either right or left handed trackballers use the needed buttons...
