Every Neo Geo CPO I see available has the last 3 buttons in a row.

Mine is curved!!

I'm new to Neo and want to replace my CPO, but want to understand the difference before I post in the "Wanted" section.

Any wisdom out there??

Nothing to say, really, they made two versions. I slightly prefer the curved button layout, but unfortunately, nobody has reproduced that CPO. If you want to swap the CPO, you'll have to track down a control panel with the correct button layout.

You'll want to make sure you get the correct kind for your machine, the 4-slot uprights have a memory card slot and shelf for the card reader to mount on. The 2-slot has the memory card reader on the PCB, and the 1-slot has no reader, so the CP doesn't have that part on those cabs. I've also seen 4-slot CPs factory converted to 1/2, they have plated welded over the slot the card would go through.
 
That is the two-slot version. The four and six-slot versions have the angled buttons. (The exception being the Neo Goldie, which has the angled buttons while still being a two-slot.)
