Wolf1964 Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago (edited) Hi Folks, I wanted to simplify things with some big buttons for various functions while using VR that I could place close by. I bought this piece of kit and I've been using it for single player comms. I just programmed the F keys into it and the \ for the comms menu and it works great. There are 3 dials on there too but I haven't got uses for them yet but I'm sure I will have as I develop certain abilities in the game. I don't need a powered USB 3 connection for these items. The smaller buttons are the width of my desktop and light enough to velcro in place. They're called custom keyboards and you program the keys at www.sdcx-tech.com and you don't need to have an account with them - the process is free. I bought these on sale with Temu. The lights can be turned on or off and colours can be changed. Find the current keyboard command for the function you want in the DCS control area and program that command into the big buttons via the website above. It's very easy to do. I have a Viper panel too and that takes care of my other basic needs: Undercarriage, flaps, arrestor hook, loading bay (C130), air to air refuelling boom etc...and there are still many unused swithces on there. Find the device in USB Game Controllers and enable 'Virtual' buttons by putting a tick in the box. DCS recognises the device without any programming but you'll need to tick that box for windows to recognise the undercarriage lever etc. Both bits of kit make life easier in VR for me and I can program in different functions as my needs change. Do an online search and find the cheapest prices before placing an order. Edited 4 hours ago by Wolf1964 1
