Does anybody here have experience building custom controllers? (hexbear.net)

How hard is that shit?

I'd like a control panel of nicely haptic buttons for some of the Arma 3 side features, Lights on/off, Engine on/off, Chaff, Smokelauncher etc.

From what I gathered researching it's basically just building a box, soldering some switches to a micro controller and bob's your uncle. I feel 80% confident I can do those things - am I missing something? Anyone ever build their own "sim"-control-deck?

Yeah, I’ve used all three. A Bodner board is probably the easiest as there is no setup to do since they are designed to do exactly this. Arduinos and Pi’s are also pretty easy, but do require a bit of configuration.
