Hi there!

And well, I'd add the nudge buttons anyway - you can always use them as admin buttons.. I wouldn't place the shazaaam! button near a flipper button, though.

I used miniature buttons for the nudges on my bartop: big yellow = right flipper, mini yellow = nudge from right and mini blue = front nudge. See the picture ->



All the best :)

It's 34" x 14", I just don't know what to do with the spinner and 4way.  I'm extremely into symmetry so I want it to look good.  As far as the nudge buttons I might add them anyway, whats another $3 when I'm spending $100 on parts for control panel alone.

$100? Your doing pretty good. That looks like a $300 cp to me.

Would you rather have symmetry over gameplay? The defender control panel must be a mess to you. If anything, the 4 way needs to be in the center of the screen since thats how a 4 way was traditionally used (as was the spinner).

As a possibility - consider a swappable panel. You could also use Ultimarc 360's to double as both your 8 way and 4 way and you can eliminate a stick.

You do what you want, I just now that people would physically get hurt with that setup at my house.

If I kept the current setup and just moved the trackball to the lowest point, and 4-way/spinner to highest.  How much distance would one recommend between the trackball and a joy?

The way my friends play? 30" - 36". That trackball can't go to much lower because of the housing.

Do this, build a mockup out of cardboard and see if it works for you.
