ED should create their special gaming keyboard, gaming mouse, gaming speakers, and gaming headphones. Design these items for optimization purposes to be used specifically for DCS world. I feel these products would become popular.

Why? There's dozens of manufacturers already that do exactly this, what could ED do that they can't?

Agreed. ED is a software company, not hardware. Historically when one tries to do the other it results in an utter dog's dinner of a product. It wouldn't be unreasonable to approach an established peripheral manufacturer to see if they might produce such products with DCS branding on them, but I suspect that it won't happen due to DCS being quite a niche market. Yes, I know we're all passionate about it, but in terms of users (and hence prospective sales) we're a drop in the ocean compared to things like Call of Duty.

That being said, there's nothing to stop someone from perhaps producing customised key-caps for DCS, or offering aftermarket graphics to be applied to your existing hardware.

I presume by designed specifically you mean the addition of some form of stress ball or head banging pad, extra strong alt tab and delete keys and rubberised edges to absorb the impact of them being chucked in sheer frustration at what the A i is doing.

Just make DCS stickers, then you can brand all your own stuff.

I have a mission called "hearding cats" which I use to test if something will work or not :-). I use it to tinker and check updates when I have to pack away my controllers for periods. I can get silly, Im curently trying to construct an ever circuiting FARP convoy around an airfield with two buses side by side to provide an ever moving landing pad. In this case, I cannot blame the AI for whats occurring!
