    Woah, doubt I’ll ever reach thousand hours in this game at all 🤓

    Trick is I play any space pew pew I can get my hands on with this 🙃 …even some flight sim :)

    Also yes, the display may be total overkill but there are decent companion apps out there already that basically do the same.

    The rest may look fancy but is in it’s core just a dumb button box. These can be assembled without soldering or programming skills whatsoever.

      ED is the game from ye olden days for me - I was mesmerized with its grandmother on ZX Spectrum back when it was a thing. So when I discovered the current gen I was immediately hooked. These hours where spent across ps4 and PC over 5 or so years, so probably nothing like the real monsters of the game )

      You are right re companion apps, a simple tablet can do similar things with much less effort on my side, and the buttons can probably be married to the PC with some magic that handles various hotas setups.

      Sounds reeeeallly tempting, if and when I could cut some slack from family duties.
