Cherry MX Button Box

prusaprinters

This is version 2 of my original Button Box that can be seen here.   The key differences are:No 2 way switches.  I didn't feel they were useful for simracing.Different Encoders that provide a stronger notch feel.But I also used Cherry MX Buttons because I could.  You will need to print:A baseA top4 x switch backs  - I would screw these into place before gluing them. Then add the switches and front panels.4 x Front Panels - I have included mine and a blank so you can make your own.The Arduino side of things is pretty much the same although the circuit arrangement and code is slightly different.  The uploads I have provided should be correct for the circuit but please check. The box still uses a Vesa mount arrangement - see other design for a couple of mounts.After trying different methods for securing all the wires on the back together I found blue crimps worked best.   If you don't want to buy key caps then it is possible to print some but I just didn't like the look as much as I did the smooth red ones.
