Please evaluate my planned panel.
shatter:
Please take a look at my proposed control panel for a mame cabinet/project a friend and I are working on. I am not sure what to do for a TRON joystick and I put in a q-bert (45 degree rotated) joystick in green but I don't know if I will actually go with that. I put a 4-way between the tron joystick and spinner but perhaps that is not needed if I use the Ultrastik 360s as I can reconfigure those for 4-way play electronically?
I was thinking of a 3" happ trackball, blackhawk spinner, and ultrastik 360 for joysticks. Not positive on how many admin buttons I need so I just threw a bunch in there for good measure.
All constructive criticism is welcomed!!
Thanks!

The Ultrastick can also map Qbert to a 45 degree angles. Might as well ditch the dedicated qbert stick.
It's a pretty busy control panel. I'm more of a fan of simple control panels that anyone could walk up to and figure out.
shardian:
I noticed that you have 8 buttons, yet you did not mention console play in your description. Just wanted to make sure you understood why there was 8 buttons on your panel. 6 is plenty per player, but some people prefer 7 to better emulate a neogeo control panel, and possibly a run button for mk3.
I was also wondering what the blue buttons on either side of the trackball are?
Remember this: You don't HAVE to have every control imaginable. Please refer to the quote under my avatar for further instruction. ;D

No offense but... :o
Kind of crowded. I would make swappables.
ahofle:
If Ultrasticks are in the equation, I'd remove both the 4 ways and move the Tron stick over where the green 4-way used to be. That way it will be safely out of the way of psychotic Golden Tee players' knuckles. ;D Also maybe get rid of some of those extra buttons to clean it up a bit.
