CP QUESTIONS
arzoo:
GroovyGameGear sells ElectricICE buttons which can be lit any color you wish with RGB LEDs (they're pearl colored when unlit). Your other option would be Happ Translucent buttons with LEDs. Do a search and you'll find lots of info on blinky buttons.
And I'll second ahofle's suggestion that a mock-up for your cp is crucial.

I would not advise putting a joystick directly above the trackball, as you will crush you hand when playing games like marble madness and Golden Tee. Just move it off to the side a bit and you should be fine. :)
Oh and probably the best piece of advice you will get... obtain some stiff cardboard and cut out a 'mock' control panel, and mount your controls on it in various layouts. Then try it out. That's really the only way you will arrive at a control panel layout that works best for you.

I've seen this comment to move the joystick/spinner away from the front of the trackball many times and I've always wondered about the buttons. Are three mouse buttons in front of the trackball going to be in the way or are they just too low.
JonnyBoy:
I think it depends how far back they are from the trackball. I have buttons about 6 inches behind mine, I have no problems but if I were you, I'd make a mockup first.
