Cp button/stick layout feedback
miles2912:
Personally I don't care for a raised middle button. I like a lot of old school games and I want the 2 buttons side by side. Also with that much real estate I would move the joystick buttons over. Looks too close for my tastes.
I would not mock the whole cp in cardboard but would at least create one half to see if you like the fit/feel.

When you say move the button over do you mean outwards towards the edge of the cp?

The joystick looks too close to the buttons. I just measured my cab and I am 5" from the center of the joystick to the center of the first hole. What I did was go to a few arcades and measure the joystick to button distance and see what felt right.
Looking again at your cp maybe the location of the 7th button is throwing my perception off. BTW, I thought that most 7th buttons were on the other side?

Thanks for the input.
I based the dimensions of the controls off of this site:

As for the seventh button, I put it there for a couple of reasons, one was to emulate a neo geo button layout and the other was to have one button that was in a more traditional location for one button games.

I have a similar layout. As far as I've seen, the 7th button usually goes on the left, right where you have it. I have my middle's offset, but maybe not quite as much as yours.
It works okay. I think I would have been just as happy having them all even, with the thumb offset. But I've had no major problems so far.
