thanks for the always inspiring videos. I'm new to the sim racing world and have been building my own rig for a while now. your simplistic approach to these projects makes for an ever changing sim racing setup! a true hobby, thank you

Dude, you need to release parts lists for all of your DIY builds. They are amazing! Especially the DIY Handbrake, I'm kind of interested to know what parts went into that.

Thank you for the DIY with the USB controller. Honestly, the Arduino ones I've seen are a bit more than I want to get into.

Keep on doing great videos and projects like this one!

Such an informative video for us non experts, many thanks :)

thanks a lot for all your amazing videos!

Damn good job again mate, your videos are always sick. Whats next? A quick release?

Great work. One question about using the switch instead of the push button: would not be considered as a "stuck button" creating problem once assigned? Because in the game usually the keys are pressed once to activate and once to deactivate the assigned function.

OMG. Big shout out to you on this. I will definitely try this one for sure. That being said, could you lists up the specs and details of parts you used for this build? I'd like to see this one in action too! :)

nice!!

Thanks for the video, have gotten everything working by following it - maybe a stupid question, but how did you run the USB cable out of the back of the box to make it look nice, just drill a hole in the correct size?

That button box is perfect for DO lighting or 🚨

Hi, I love all your videos, they are a good help. Where can I get those boxes, what size do you have?

nice work....u just gt a fresh sucriber if u can make gear box like g27 or g29, then u must be a god

That's cool men !!!!! but do u think that keyboard chip circuit gonna be function in the same way???

Where did you get the Platine and the cables from? Nice build keep on doing these cool vids

Great project. He would work with most games/simulators? What he would control in the Simulator?

Nice Vid! Can you do a button bix with a keyhole, like in a real car? That would be awesome, thx

sweet vid!!! I bought the board and put a box together, but I tried to put a pot in it... I cant get it to work? I tried it in the button part and the axis both no go

Great job ! Is it possible to add a rotary encoder on this board ?

bravooo loving it...>>!!!!! n thankszz:))))$$$$

Brilliant, can you also use switches with lights like in real car ?

Great video! Can someone tell me where i can get the actual plastic box? Or What i would call it in search..

Your background song here had no reason to go as hard as it did lmao Great video, might give it a few watches once I've had some drinks cuz of the song alone xD

I am about to start soldering in the next few days on this project. I have a question on how to have a toggle switch setup. I have 3 different toggles switches. One in question has an LED light at the end of the arm on the switch, so there is a 3rd pin for the light. Where would I splice in to make sure the light works?

Even though this was two years ago, I am wondering if you NEED to solder the wires on or can you just connect the wires to the pins and make it work?

Hello ! I liked your solution about this button box. Can you please tell me, where can buy all this parts ?

Mute the video and watch at 0.5 speed makes things a lot clearer.

for the to left corner switch where am i putting the wires or can i use 2 pin on off switch for it instead of the 3 pin

OMG thanks! But I see a little problem. Is there a way for PC, so it doesn't recognize this box as a joystick?

whats the box size of this button box and if you use 2 button boxes with the zero delay encoder in them will the pc see them as 2 sepperate boxes or will it think its both the same one and keep up the cool stuff like this awesome video

very good friend. Much easier, can you make a buton box with markers?

@amstudio, could I make this a sixteen button box by connecting an additional four buttons to up, down, left and right? Thanks for an easier alternative to Arduino!

thanks for the video. i took it one step further. the encoder has 12 buttons, so i wired up all 12. i wired up the MODE connections to a button as it convers the joystick outputs from analog (red LED) to Hat switch (green LED) I then used 2x of the spring loaded on-off-on (3position) switches to the Up/down/left/right sockets. One switch faces up and down, the other faces left and right. by flicking the mode switch i can now get 16 buttons (12 standard + 4 hat switch) If you drill a hole in the side of the case and glue a bit of clear soft drink bottle over the hole to make a cover, you can see when the LED is Green to check you are in hat switch mode.

Sure can, will add a tutorial soon.

I have a spare Nano V3, and i was wondering... is there any chance i can use that in stead of the usb encoder for this project?

Are you planning to make a custom H-shifter or pedals?

with the encoder board, can i use both the joystick input AND wire buttons up to the up/down/left/right plugs on the board? (do they work independantly) my thinking is i could us the joystick in games like farm sim/truck sim, and use up/dn/L/R to get an extra 4 buttons out of the board (12 standard buttons + 4 extra for a total of 16) .

There are a lot of different dimensions for boxes in the link. Which one did you use here?

Hello, just a question, how big was your box and what toggle did you go for

Would have liked the links to your switches instead of google searches. Do toggles need to be 5v, like all other switches?

Where do you find the box that has the grid already on the back like it shows at .03 seconds into the video.

Cn i just Plug in the cables in any Random spot on the USB Adapter thing?

Okay amstudio - I made this, but when I use the 3 way toggle switches, it is showing as the two joystick buttons being pressed simutaniously when I switch it up or down. Did I get the wrong switches or is my wiring likely to be suspect?

Can you make a h-shifter (6 speeds + reverse)?

Are the toggle switches momentary On/Off/On? That's what I'm using. I've soldered the wires exactly as shown and when pressed, games, and the Windows joystick config tool thinks I'm pressing 2 buttons. Any ideas?

I made one of these years ago. But it only came with 8 wire connectors but there are clearly more slots. How many more can I connect if I get more wire connectors?

I like toggles, but Windows thinking I'm holding down the button is an issue. Is there a way to fool Windows into reading toggle on as a momentary button press, and toggle off as the same button press, using the hardware shown here? I already have one of these boards from another project and would like to avoid buying an Arduino or something similar if possible.

Hello dear, excuse the black box to put the buttons where you buy? You could put me the site link. Thank you!

Did you remove all the cables from the USB cord to fit it though the hole?

You need "hat" on toggle switches, looks and feels better :)

No. the USB Encoder does not support analog input.

Do you know if that same encoder will work with pressure sensor if I made hydraulic handbrake? It would be super easy to make a DIY set of handbrake and sequential shifter with that. Although the problem would be that it's just either on or off then, it doesn't recognise the range of pressure.
