Sorry Abdul, not tried that, tho the pump on my BEER dispenser button (mapped on my G25) might work with a few calibrations, BUT why water when you can have BEER!

is this going off topic????? maybe better off in the chat section LMAO

 

[Brian Clancy]

not much chat yet? you lot are quiet!

 

[Daniel Higgins]

looking at the price for the components (2 rotaries, LCD Shifter thing, knitters) alone cost about £130 :frown:. I know that like you said Brian you can re-use them once you have them etc but still its a lot of money.

How long does Leo normally take to reply? Been nearly a day now, is that normal?

Theres some chat for ya

Dan.

 

[Brian Clancy]

Hey Dan! Leo is a nightmare for replys, prob wont even get one lol!

Look at the SLI-M its price is $75 DOLLARS = about £52 quid, rotarys are £2.50ea so a fiver = £57, knitters are dear @ £7ea, but there are much cheaper ones on E-Bay, but say 4x knitter switch @ £7 = £28 total = £85.........sound better? Use the 4 knitter switches for the main buttons and if you want more buy some cheapies and upgrade em later:wink:

Even with carbon film, wire, perspex your well under £100 and ita crackin bit 'o' kit mate!

EDIT: I dont use knitters for button box anyway, too dear i.m.h.o. I only use for steering wheels! So scratch them from the list, should get good buttons for under a quid each

anyone know where you can get some self adhesive letters from? like;

Scouting round all I found was some £32 a set ones and some special made to order ones. Anyone had any experience with letters?

 

[Brian Clancy]
