I'm building my first pad (riptide's design) and I was wondering, do I need to have more than 4 arrows for anything?

What are the X/O buttons used for? Is that just for navigation on the Ps2, or are there some games/songs/versions that require more than the 4 directional arrows?

I personally would go for having the buttons on a control box, not on/in the main gamepad.

Agreed strongly. And I doubt you'll want the six arrows, really. Almost every mix is 4.

In Konamix for the PS, along with Game Mode, there is Solo Mode, where the game acts more like a DDR Solo machine. Naturally, you get to choose between 4 and 6 panel. Six panel uses X and O as additional panels. It's fun, I'd recommend it.

You could get 2 polished steel plates of thickness equal to the recession of your arrows and just put those over your X and O buttons for 4 panel if you don't want to obstruct the arcade feel of your pad for 4-panel, but want to also be able to use it for solo.
