From joysticks to gamepads, HOTAS to HOTAM, people use different controls to pilot their ships around the ‘Verse. Today we’re going to highlight a few of our backers ingenuity and show off a few setups that stood out to us. So let’s get started!

We’ll start off with TravelTrouser’s 6DOF joystick. The maneuverability and movement available this setup is amazing. Using one hand you can move your ship in any direction that you want. I can’t wait to see this one completed and in action.

Next up is Jawatech Derezor’s spaceship. Made from scratch, this contraption puts everything from keyboard to joystick at your fingertips and looks quite comfortable as well! There’s even cutouts for the HOTAS so you don’t have to worry about it slipping around!

Speaking of spaceships, SirDamn has his own that impresses as well! Covered in buttons, toggles, lights, and decorations, this creation is a flight sim lover’s dream! On top of that he can switch his control input with the flip of a switch!

If you want to talk about immersion, T.C.McQueen is your man. Incorporating a zero-gravity chair into his sim pit, TC can literally go horizontal while flying! I can only imagine how amazing it must feel hitting your afterburner while in this thing.

I am blown away by the amount of imagination and creation that goes into these. If you have one that we’ve missed, put it below and we’ll check it out! Thanks to everybody and we’ll see you next week!
