**FINISHED** Re-Vamping my Control Panel, any advice on my concept designs?...

And since I mounted the spinner directly above the trackball, I play some driving games with one hand on the spinner (Steering) and the other on the trackball underneath (Analog Gas Pedal) it seems to work rather well.

Perfect!! I'm revamping my CP as well and my new design is almost identical to yours. Spinner just above TB etc!! Thanks for being the guinny pig! Nice work and that is gonna be one sweet CP. Nice wiring! The footprint of that spinner :o so small


My Rough, Rough Draft attached. Red button above TB is actually Turbo Twist 2 Spinner!

Mmmmmm, I don't play golf but I can tell that spinner is too close.  Alas.  The other thing I noticed was that you got a little loose on the cutting, and at least one side pops out from beneath the top.   Wiring job looks good.

On the flush-mounting thing: I don't see how someone could play so hard to knock a stick loose if it were mounted from beneath.  Admittedly, the advantages of flush-mounting are (obviously) looks, and (if you prefer) shaft length (especially if you have U360's with the stock shaft).  Particularly the trackball done this was is extravagant.  However....it's a bit of work, and unless the CPO isn't glued down, if you ever need to change 'em, it'd be more than a hassle.

FF: nice-looking panel....my caveat is the sticks and button sets seem a little far forward for play.

All done.

Although I agree that it's close, I haven't hit it yet.

Don't quite understand what your saying here?

Unless your a midget, they are right where they need to be. the whole purpose of this rebuild was to make clearance for the rotaries which need roughly 5" underneath the top. The CP is actually angled as such to allow your hands/palms to comfortably "Rest" on the surface as you play, Ergonomically if you will.

Thanks for the thoughts though.
