My next project is a more VR friendly button box. I've ordered a Leo Bodnar 64 input board and a pile of switch gear. Larger switches, big buttons etc.. That will likely be a work in progress for a couple months at least. Some of the parts won't be here until mid-October. I was impressed with the workmanship of
@HoiHman and I'm trying to come up with something of similar quality that works well for my rig. I'll rough prototype with cardboard and then create a working prototype with 1/4" plywood. I have large carbon fiber look decal material, pin striping and a label maker, but may eventually have something laser cut and etched. I'm not sure how obsessive I'll get about it.
FWIW, I did find out that at least iRacing and AC support a 64 input board. So likely ACC as well. I expect to keep the basic controls on the first 32 inputs anyway and will probably put more iRacing specific on the second 32 inputs if I need that many. I'm starting off with the basics that I use a lot with the expectation that I'll be using the PSE GT3 wheel most of the time and use the buttons and knobs on that for most things I'll need frequently.
This will likely be a very slow iterative process, so it may go a while between updates.
Hopefully my wheel will arrive this week, but I haven't received a shipping email yet.
I'm thinking about getting a laminator. Combined with my color laser printer and matt finish pockets I think I could come up with some pretty nice looking button box face plates.
