Fully mapable for ingame use instead of using the keyboard. I'm going to build a 3rd one for overhead mounting. These 2 will be placed along the sides of my seat behind the joystick and throttle in this simpit:

They are mapable for any non analog command in use like a keyboard command.

As long as you have a USB port, they are just like adding a joystick. The computer will recognize it as well as the game.

Post by: Reschke on February 02, 2012, 11:02:06 AM: 68valu PM me with pricing and information on the switches; I am 100% interested in getting a couple of those things if you want to sell some. I am starting a cockpit build finally and need something to move some buttons around to off my throttle and am looking for something to help me with other games like DCS: Blackshark and DCS:A-10C. Also I might be able to point a few other sim guys from those communities your way as well.
