: Yes I would agree. This way you can also play button only games like asteroids with ease. And personally I think I would also prefer a symmetrical button layout.
: Also why seperate buttons for the trackball?

++ Well, Asteroids is horizontal, i think, so i wouldn't have it on there.... but i'm buying a Blasteroids cabinet one of these lucky days anyway... my fave in the series just because of the spinner control as opposed to the buttons...

++ and separate buttons for the trackball was my personal idea of "well, when i play joystick games i use the stick with my left, when i play centipede i tend to use my right hand on the ball and left on the fire button." Honestly, my first idea was to have the trackball at bottom center, with the joystick above it and centered, with ambidextrous three-button layouts on either side. Might still use this setup, if i can be sure that the one Super Joystick would work equally well with PacMan as it does with 1942, for example.

thanks!!!
