Please CRITIQUE my CPs - UPDATED!

Flinkly:
something more isn't right, but i can't place it.  i think it might be that spinner, it's messing up the whole thing.  i know you've got it there for a reason, but i'd lose it.

javeryh:
Sorry, the spinner has to stay.

seibu:
I mounted my admin buttons in a tiny plastic project box and hid them under the "skirt" of the cocktail top at the 1P end. This saves space on the main CPs and keeps them out of the way. Also, the box can be easily removed if I want to run the cab without admin buttons; say at a party where I just want to leave SF2 CE on and not have anybody screwing with the settings of the cab!

Lilwolf:
I would strongly recommend looking at a moduler solution.  There are some GREAT examples around.   Or you might go swappable.  But the side panels with the spinner and joystick seems to be really packed in... and you might find that you cant use either that well.

Next.  I would recommend considering the keywiz GP49 + 49ways.  I'm just hearing great things about them in both 8way and 4ways (plus others settings but you will use these for 90% of your games.)  But the two interfaces needed for the edges might be enought inputs for the others also (21?, 28? don't remember... go check and see).  Then I wouldn't put changeable controllers on the other side and make that the ultimate fighter setup (2 360s, comps, supers or whatever joystick you like).  I think you will find that you will use these primarily for 8way games.  (any good horizontal 4way games?  I can only think of vertical ones)

But the main thing I wanted to say.  Sometimes too many controls make the game play of all games hard.  I would rather have fewer speciallized control panels with real room then a super packed one with everything so close you constantly touching the wrong controls and their getting in the way.

Oh yeah... and on the 4th side.  2 or 3 360 steering wheels for super sprint!

teef two:
Just a comment on the spinner. Make sure you are going to use this left handed. With that layout a person using the spinner with their right hand is going to have a mare if they have to press any buttons as part of the game (i.e. when shooting in arkanoid).
