Probably the best thing I've done to SH4

I've disliked the keyboard locations for the Attack Scope Up & Down, and Observation Scope Up & Down (ins, del, pg up, pg dn) ever since SH3 in 2005.

I finally got around to moving these commands to the A & Z keys for attack and the S & X keys for observation with the associated Control function to fully raise & fully lower.

With the mouse in my right hand, I use the left hand for keystroke commands 95% of the time. Having the scope controlled by my left hand on the left side of the keyboard is a blessing. It just works better. Obviously, I switched previous A,Z,S,X commands to other keys. I've made my own unique keyboard print out since I've made so many keyboard edits.

I'm so pleased, I just felt like sharing this experience.

Nice

Have you ever used or thought about using something like this? I have mapped my periscope controls to the thumb stick, it's great. This one is a Razor Tartarus.




I have also built me a controller for the torpedo, and speed controls which i love.

How does one go about building a custom controller like that?

Now That Is Cool
I know nothing of building such things but if you had some plans or schematics
I'd sure give it a try.

also what key pad is that?
and does it come in wireless?
thanks

Here is the product page for it, but you should be able to find it cheaper if you shop around. https://www.razer.com/sg-en/gaming-k...razer-tartarus

This particular one doesn't.

I used a Leo Bodnar BBI-32 board for the one in the picture, but my current project will be using a ATmega32U4 Module Board. I'm still working out details, but i can create a thread with some pictures once i start on it.
