Has anyone tried using the middle part of the Simraceway to ghetto mod some buttons onto a G25, for example. I'm considering trying it because I don't want to spend about £500 on a Thrustmaster rig with the F1 wheel and can't really see any other options at the moment.
It has every button and control I can think of on there. I'm pretty sure I could disassemble it, remove the handles and paddles and fit the button box onto the G25 wheel center. I think it's cabled, which can cause issues, but I'm pretty certain I could figure out a system that would stop the cable getting twisted all to hell, maybe lower the steering rotation max a little.
Another possibility would be to clap it to a panel on my driving rig so all the buttons would be accessible next to the wheel, but that wouldn't be as much fun.
I get these ideas sometimes - usually my wife just rolls her eyes at me - but a surprising number of them actually work.
EDIT: Found two videos detailing three different ways of doing this - one of them very neat which turns it into a replacement G25 wheel, like the F1 wheel for the T500.
