JackFlash Posted January 3 Author Posted January 3 (edited) So, general status update: Board design ready and PCB is under production. Shell design is ready and mold is in the making. Buttons are ready and delivered. User manual is under revision. Software design is ready as a first version. The unit will feature the following features: It is a HID unit and will be recognized as a regular gaming input unit. No DCS Bios required. 51 input buttons and 1 axis. Tactile markings on some of the buttons to make VR use easier. Separated backlight for buttons and screen. Adjustable backlight for buttons. Backlight for screen can be controlled via the brightness axis or set to fixed backlight. 40x2 character display that will require DCS Bios to work with DCS. It will be able to show PLT or CPG KU scratch pad info or both at the same time. The screen can also show CMS info. This can be turned off with a button combination. The unit will have 75x75 mm of VESA mounts on the back plate. The first version of the Apache KU will not have a custom programming software for windows. It will come pre-programmed and all functions will be controlled via button commands. It will only be able to show scratch pad info from the Apache, but the buttons will work for any module. Pre-orders will go live at latest this February. Price will be below 200€. Edited January 3 by JackFlash 5 My latest project, the Multi Function Button Box can be found at Kickstarter.

No, but the unit will have 75x75 VESA holes in the back, so most VESA mounts will work. My latest project, the Multi Function Button Box can be found at Kickstarter.

Priest Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Nice. I see it in the pics, now that you mentioned it. So it'll lay flat for simple desktop style use that's good.

I’d say about two weeks, if all goes well. We will run a preorder on it a few weeks before launch. 3 My latest project, the Multi Function Button Box can be found at Kickstarter.
