Great layout! I like how you recessed the main control stick. What do you normally assign the buttons on the top of the stick to?

Hi @sietse, cool product - thanks for sharing! :smiley:

If you’d like to add built in support for it in Cockpit (including visual configuration), you’re welcome to submit a pull request with the relevant values and SVG file. There’s an example here if that’s of interest :slight_smile:

Hey @kevink and @EliotBR!

The two buttons on top of the joystick could be assigned to whatever you’d like them to do. We used them for activating Lua Scripts for example!

We’re happy to submit a pull request for the values and SVG! I’ll make sure to take care of it as soon as possible.

I’m happy you guys like the design!
