I made a CD32 arcade stick last year using the amiarcade board:

I decided last night it need redesigned so I've came up with the following

The design is essentially the same my current button layout just compressed a bit. The start button will be moved to the right hand side of the case. The inner dashed line represents the enclosure on which the top cover will overlap.

Any thoughts on which design looks best. Stick with the more horizontal button layout or make them more vertical. Given the dimension is approximately 250x150mm your hands tend to be at a more acute angle hence my thinking of the bottom one.

It'll be made from 3mm black acrylic this time rather than MDF just so it'll look more finished and be stronger.

The parts used to assemble are the amiarcade board and just an ebay arcade button set.
