GaryMcT's 2-player generic control panel layout
GaryMcT:
I'm working on the layout for a 24 7/16" x 8" control panel. What do you think? The buttons above the joysticks are player 1 and 2 start. I may add some small admin buttons. . not sure about that yet. The line at the top is the limit of where I can physically place things. The joystick space is for a JLW or U360:

Terrible placement of the start buttons. Move them up and to the right, between stick and the buttons.

+1. I'd remove them from the CP completely. There isn't enough room. You could relocate them to the front of the CP or better yet on a strip of wood right below the monitor. Knievel's cabs all have an admin panel and it looks and works great. Also, Player 2's wrist will be resting on the 7th and 8th buttons of Player 1. With that tight of a space I'd do 6 buttons per player MAX. As always, mock it up with cardboard first to see how it will play. :cheers:

Cool, I'll give that a shot.

I disagree. Are you only looking at the mounting plate? The distance from the buttons to the stick itself seems okay.
Though I would rotate the plates 90° and move the stick closer to each player's buttons.
