128 switches... $59.95

It's a keyboard emulator so there is no problem with programing.

Think I might have found the solution for a little problem I was having. :)

Steve,

Ya gotta look up at the resources sticky.  X-keys been there for a long time.  8-)

Yeah... it looks good.  Somehow though, I liked the Hagstrom units more for myself.

You can't beat the price on this one though......... pretty much a whole pit of keystrokes for $60.  Starts to remove the "simpit price barrier" a bit.

best,

.......................john

Jonh... I knew about X-Keys, they looked cool and might possibly have a spot in my pit.

That one card I link to is a pain to find though!

I kept looking at various modules, but never thought to look at the "Custom/OEM" section, that's normally where they hide all the really expensive stuff we stay away from for fear of heart failure. :)

Some of those keypad things look very useful...
And LOL, I was eyeing that train-sim controller, wondering if I could hack it to use some of the switches and levers... ;D
I won't be tempted, but now I feel I want to also get into train-simming just looking at that thing! :D

MS is coming out with a new Train Sim based on FSX... so you can get that controller and start building your very own simpit... err... simloco.

Of course, simloco is what all of us who frequent this place have been called. :)
