Buttons on ya CP

<< < (2/3) > >>

kelemvor:
Actually what I did when I made my first CP was took a piece of scrap wood, laid out the holes where I thought I'd like them and made a mini CP with just a joystick and 6 buttons.  I tested it for a bit and then made them a little closer together.

I'd get a number to start with but then make a scarp layout so you can just get a feel for it and then go from there.

I space mine at 1-3/8", but that isn't even a full 1/16" between.
It's almost touching.
The bezels on the buttons are 1.32, which leaves .0575 between them on a perfect drill.

Leaf switches end up actually touching most of the time.
I think they have a slightly larger bezel on them.

Apologies if this has been discussed before, I did a search but couldn't find a defintive answer.



In general terms, what's considered best spacing between ya buttons???   It'll be 6 button and I'm trying to work out whats favourite/standard.



Thanks in Advance

Thanks.

The diagrams pretty much explain themselves.

XyloSesame, I'm guessing you've used these figures on a layout, was it comfortable??

Hard to tell... all I have my buttons in are a cardboard mockup...

I used a slightly modified version of the arched layout, FWIW.
