It is a fun project I actually would like to try. I have plywood and a tracksaw and buttons are important on Trucksims :) My only real gripe is a second hand streamdeck probably comes in at a similar price? And you do not have to do it nor worry about faulty goods? And it is useful when not 'trukin'' :) For looking around in the real world without (being disconnected from it say for streaming) VR get a TrackIR.

This is great, just ordered supplies and working on this over the weekend

How did you set up your video to display across 3 monitors. That is cool. Great video\

Like these. I've two similar ones that register as "CY-822A". They can be tweaked for some potentiometer (4 axes at least) with a very easy hardware hack. Also team OpenTrack 🤝

You flight sim cats have some of the coolest peripherals. I just found a full keyboard encoder that I may build a button box from. 88 buttons available.

I just ordered everything. Going to give it a try

I wanna build one but I want 30+ functions.... Don't see the point of having numerous boxes and then also don't wanna have to still use the key board aswell.

you can find micro switches and buttons of all kinds of sizes. With the encoder you would make a button box pretty small

At the top of the controller screen you need to click one of the drop downs and make sure the device is selected. I hadn't done that.

Anything is possible but I'm my experience poorly made products are more likely to cause issues. With that being said cheap isn't always bad. A encoder can be had for pretty cheap. Game resale shops are a good place to look for older controllers. Xbox360 to current are compatible if they are USB. Same goes for PlayStation. Any generic USB controller like the cheap Logitech ones will work also. USB number pads are a popular option also.
