RobotronNut's Final Control Panel Layout (I Hope)
Level42:
Hey RobotronNut, looks promising ! I'm currently looking for a good set-up as well.
Think I might first copy our idea ;) Can you give the dimensions of the panel ?
Do you add any buttons to the front/side ?
Any control buttons ?
Thx for sharing !

You have joysticks that you would hit your elbow on. Get rid of the top-fire (or try and use my Wico Command Control mod to get a topfire shaft into your P360). Get rid of the QBert. It's best placed in the middle anyways if you want to properly play Qbert.

That's a lot of joysticks!!!
If you really need all those controls, I'd get two 49ways with the rotary adapter and clean up that panel. There are way too many joys there for my liking.

you can find good info at the SlikStik website.
the specific model is the Classic.
the exact dimensions are in this image.
i will probably order the pinball buttons on the sides. the only control buttons currently are the cluster of 4 between the top-fire and the qbert - coin and start for P1 & P2. i think i will add a pause button in the upper right corner.

thanks for the feedback! keep it coming...

based on my mock-up, i'm fairly confident that my forearm will not bump any joysticks when i'm using the top-fire. actually, i'm leaning toward a flight stick instead of the top fire. i'd like the flight stick in the upper row near the spinner for Discs of Tron.

Qbert wasn't high enough priority to take over the middle of the panel. i use my right hand for Qbert, so i can stay reasonably centered and comfortable with the Qbert stick in the upper right. it's less than perfect but a very reasonable compromise.

i'm looking for the best sticks for Robotron and would prefer to add a couple special-purpose sticks, rather than compromise Robotron playability with multi-purpose sticks.
