There is no right or wrong answer, just pick what you like. Bat top joysticks were widely used in America and ball top games are used in almost all Japanese games.
There are 2 main styles of Joystick: bat top and ball top. It helps if you have a local arcade that you can go to and sample some of the difference kinds of controls. This is largely a matter of personal preference. Once you know how large your canvas is, you need to decide which controls you want to put on your CP. The playing surface of most control panels is removable, which makes replacing them relatively easy. Now I know how large my canvas is: roughly 26 3/4" wide by 13 1/4" deep and 3/4" thick. Start by deciding what you want on your control panelīecause my cabinet is a Mortal Kombat, the control panel has a fixed size unless I want to get crazy and build it up or out. I will take you through my design and thought process to explain why I designed my CP the way that I did. There is an entire forum based completely on Arcade Cabinet and CP design so I won't go through each end every detail because we would be here for days. There are MANY things to consider when designing a control panel from scratch. If you are DESIGNING your own control panel, chances are you are building or converting a machine to a MAME cabinet or similar project. If you are restoring a dedicated cabinet (a machine dedicated to a single original game board), you are probably using original parts, maybe you'll use some reproduction art, but you are trying to make it as close to the original design as possible. There are many different opinions and there are some panels that are better for certain kinds of game,s but there is no one perfect panel. There is no universally perfect control panel. There are lots of important decisions that go into designing them and if you are only going to have one or 2 machines, you had better make the CP count. Now we are going to talk about the control panel ("CP"). We have talked about some of the things you should do when you first pick up a cabinet and we have talked a little bit about monitors and working on them.
