ThirdEarthDesign has shared their first project, a sim rig button box.

Based on the Teensy 4.1, it uses a custom joystick interface via USB HID to extend the functionality of an already-impressive rig.

The “box” features 13 momentary buttons, three toggle switches, two eight-way rotary switches (effectively 16 more inputs), X and Y axis inputs via two further rotary encoders, and Z axis via analog Hall effect sensor.

WS2812 RGB LEDs provide backlighting, and two PWM fans simulate the feeling of wind! A 3d-printed enclosure, Cricut-created labels, and a custom PCB round out the professional-looking package. More information and pics on the PJRC forums.
