In Reply to: Critique my control panel layout? posted by enemyace on January 13, 2002 at 13:42:59:

Send me a screenshot of the control panel and your website if you have one and I will add it to the ICPD site as an example.

I would not put the joystick above the trackball if you can help it. Maybe a little to the right or left would work.

Cheers,

Ed

: Could you guys critique my initial cp layout? I put it together in ICPD.

: To explain:

: The main lower joysticks are Happ competitions. The upper joysticks are ikari rotary joysticks. I'll make the competitions removable like was done with the MameGTX cab. I'm also going to make trigger sticks as described on the MameGTX site that will swap with the competition handles. I would like to get a translucent blue Imperial trackball, but we'll see what the budget (wife) will allow. Above the trackball are two mouse buttons on the right, and a harddrive spinner that I will make on the left. I believe that the spinner design described on Doug Hansen's site takes up only a 2" diameter area under the cp. Above those are a coin button in the middle, and the player start buttons on each side. I haven't thought about the admin buttons, though I may try to hide them. There will also be a couple of pinball buttons on each side.

: I'd love to hear any feedback or recommendations that you might have. What do you think of the button layout and overall spacing? Is there anything I'm forgetting?

: Thanks,
: EA
