Hori makes this guy as well:

It seems to be reviewed pretty well! You would still have to deal with pedals though.

not sure what I think I’m doing and my partner is going to kill me if I buy this but it looks like the nice price by Canada standards

yeah, that seems like a viable option, it’s a shame the things to strap to it remain so expensive

from what I’ve seen apparently 2020 saw the sharp increase in prices for racing wheels so it’s actually the worst time to buy lmao

Seems like anything with even a hint of VIDEOGAMES went sky high in 2020. I should cash out my whole collection before people go back to non shut-in activities.

Itd be cool to get a nice RC controller and use it as a game controller for couch racing


PLUS

might make 3rd person sim racing make sense to me for once

I have not tried it yet, but I do have a RC flight USB controller. I’m really feeling that slotcar style idea though.

I think it could make Art of Rally a lot of fun

These posts are making me hunger for a new neGcon to facilitate handheld twisty steering in my cramped otaku shithole.

I gotta find an adapter that works with the neGcon on PC, damn

Kailh Box Jade Green

bubble wrap on every keypress

go for Box Navy if you want to build muscle mass at the same time

so far I’m still on Cherry Blues because I don’t really get a lot of opportunity to try other switches

gateron silent ink black (but all relatively well stabilized linears are fine honestly)

think i’m still waiting for a bunch of gator clears to turn up

Kailh Creams, which are due for a BOX variant shortly

i use cherry blue on my filco and on occasion alps salmon on an old mac kb

after 20 years or so of buckling springs (besides occasionally using an ancient filco with white alps) i switched to browns last summer and they’re nowhere near as good but my hands don’t hurt anymore

it’s a shame the alps board died, they were really nice. wonder if the matias knock offs are any good

speaking of stenotype, the person I know just posted this pic today

steno’s gonna be the next big thing imo

Steno would be two rows plus thumb keys I think? This isn’t much smaller than a Lily58 split
