Oh well, I'll just sell it on ebay.

Your comment that I don't provide support is absolutely false. You've contacted me via email about your situation. I explained to you that if your button box is functioning in Windows then you will have no issue with connecting it and using it with any racing sim you want that supports game controllers.

The box was in good order when I shipped it and you've not indicated it doesn't function. I've made my recommendations for what to do.
 
Hi friends,

Here's a Velocity in "Hot Pink"...if there are those among us who dig that color, and I am sure there are some, here's just the ticket!

I have it ready for immediate shipment, and to order it simply hit up my site here:

And order a "GT1X" button box for 85 USD (10.95 US shipping, 17.95 for intl) and send me an email or PM that you want the Hot Pink Velocity. (apologies that the photo doesn't show just how pink this is...it's PINK!)

Thanks for looking and happy racing :)

NB - the Five Alarm Track Boss has been sold - thank you :)
 
Hi friends,

I was inspired recently to paint another device, and blue is a popular color. Here's a Velocity r3 in "Special Edition Blue":

This one has been sold, but I may make painted ones on occasion.

I'll also use this post as an occasion to let everyone know who has a box with a promised ship date of 14 August that everything has shipped this past Friday. Please check your paypal emails for tracking numbers and allow a minimum of 10 to 15 working days for international deliveries.

Hi Derek

Having just moved over to PC racing from ps3 I'm looking at getting one of you're button boxes as they look great. As you probably know quite a lot about using button boxes as controllers you may be able to point me in the right direction...

I mainly use race07 (and its various expansions) at the moment and from what I have read it supports a maximum of 3 controllers. I currently have a g27 wheel, a shifter which can either be connected to the g27 or used standalone and obviously a keyboard and mouse... so thats already 3 or possibly 4 controllers?

Do the keyboard and mouse count as controllers or are they taken as a given? I.e. is there room in my current setup for one of you're button boxes?

Any advice welcomed

Hi Ravey,

Keyboard and mouse are not counted. If your shifter is connected to the wheel, that's one controller. A button box would be make the total two. :)

I'm loving my adapter and pedal pad's! Great products and amazing customer service!

Thanks Derek!
 
edit: Would the tilton style pedals fit the t500rs?

EDit: Never mind i wasn't reading hard enough on your site, are there any plans to make them for the t500?

Thank you!!! :)

Have you thought about making a 6 speed H gate shifter Derek?

Thought many times and don't plan to - There are many excellent options out there from Lightening SST, TSW Shifter and Frex if you want to spend - Thrustmaster if you want value and function. It's a tough place to be for a new kid with an H Shifter :)

YES! I intend to make pads for the T500 pedals - I hope in the next month or so :)

Hi Friends,

I like to do some interesting expressions, and I had some time yesterday to make what had been swirling in my head for the past couple of weeks. Below is a Velocity r3 in white/mirror and metallic silver and a Track Boss in the same colors with silver CF vinyl. Still debating what to do with them, though.

Love them Derek! 👍 Are all these different coloured button boxes one off's or can anyone order them?

I don't plan to sell the painted ones from my site in as production units. I prefer to put them up as "special editions" for sale, making just a few or to use for giveaways. I'm most likely going to use both of these for promotional awards.

PS: Here are some other painted ones I did, all of which have been claimed:

Well I got $100 and I'm gonna buy a DSD Velocity, also gonna buy Clubsport V2's soon! Right now I'm deciding what color Velocity I should get, they're all so beautiful :drool:
 
Those white/mirror and metallic silver and the Track Boss might just be the nicest button boxes I have ever seen. Someday, someday :) it's ok to dream.
