** OPINIONS NEEDED **

[NikTheSHNIK]

Hi all,

With the growth in Sims I'm looking to expand our range. Was looking to maybe stock products such as the following:

Opinions from forum members, requirements from Sim players etc required to see if its worthwhile.

Details for that particular product below:

BBJ SimRacing Button Box with Key. Excellent item if you wish to add the detail of a starter/ignition panel to your simulation. Box is based around a Keyboard Encoder so is compatible with PC and Consoles. Toggles and Push-to-Make switches are rated for real automotive use so have that genuine 'feel' to them. Box features two on/off Toggle Switches fitted with 'Missile' type safety covers, three 16mm Push-to-Make Switches and one momentary Key operated switch. Key switch is spring loaded giving excellent 'starter' feel. Check out the video below to see this Button Box in action. Features two mounting points on the base of the unit that will accept M4 bolts. Fascia is Carbon look vinyl and the whole unit is built into a tough ABS box, comes with 1.8m USB cable.

I wholeheartedly welcome this kind of thing!!

For teh Driving Sim stuff, Thrustmaster have some swanky-looking dashboard/wheel combo desktop units...

I'd personally be most interested in things that can cross Sim genres, so a panel of aircraft switches, buttons, dials, screens, LED displays and things, which could also be configured for Space Sims, for example.
Perhaps even the kind where you can do your own control labels from a template.

I saw that BBJ, for example, are looking to branch out into flight sim kit.

SimRacingHardware do a lovely angled controller interface, which would look great in non-rainbow colours with some backlighting.
