The Ultimate Button Layout!

I think this is the FINAL layout that I'm going to use for the player 1 and player 2 controls. I designed it to be as ergonomic as possible. I gave the slight arc to the buttons because that is where the tips of my fingers are when my hand is resting on a table. Check it out:

Each button is spaced 1-3/8" on center and the holes will be drilled using a 1-1/8" foerstner bit. The hole to the far left is also 1-1/8" and will be for the joystick shaft.

I toyed with the idea of adding an extra button in front of the bottom row but decided against it for now. Lots of people like to add that 7th button in order to have a row of 4 to play Neo Geo games like they were meant to be played. I might add it but I really want to keep the clutter to a minimum.
