I am assuming these are the same as RMK?

If so always liked his products, the attention to detail and excellent build quality with metal casing. They just feel so much more solid/ridged to plastic boxes most come with and are much thinner.

Would like to know more on how it works with PS4 when using a wheel, well mainly what current games support it with wheel/pedals?

Black/Chrome/Red

I'm using one since a month or so. Works really great on PS4. Will check on PC (arriving any minute) later.
Very well made, sturdy box, very nice switches.
He's now testing/making BB's with rotary encoders too.

This is mine, one of the very first models:

Is their a compatibility issue with PS4 to certain games or just a matter of mapping the switches?
Appreciate more info using this with a wheel on Drive Club / F1 / Project Cars etc.

I have only Project Cars / PS4 / Fanatec Clubsport V2 base - V3 pedals, and ingame you can assign the controls to the buttons.

Switched to PC now, and yes, it works too 👍

How does it mount?

How does it mount?

4 M5 screw holes at the back, 12,5 x 6,5 cm

Edit: measured on the back of my box. Don't know whether these dimensions are the same for all boxes, since mine is a pretty big one

Still undecided whether this is a luxury or necessity item. Money could be spend on a handbrake or sequential shifter first before this. @Fanapryde, what functions do you map on yours and how often do you use in race?

Still working on that, but for the moment:
Lights / wipers / pit request / ABS / brake bias + / brake bias - / opponent names / field of view + / field of view - / auto clutch / seat fw / seat bw / seat up / seat down / seat inclination up / seat inclination down / front roll bars + / front roll bars - / rear roll bars + / rear roll bars - / ingnition / engine start and the four assist: steer - brake - traction - stability (which I never use, but after all this I still have two free buttons, mainly because my Fanatec Porsche 918 RSR wheel has so much buttons of its own).

How often do I use them ?
Depends on what I'm doing: same car or not, wheather conditions, different track...
Since the seat positions are not saved per car, I change position mostly every time I take another car out. If I stall the engine, I need the engine start button.
In practice and qualification I leave opponent names on, in race I turn them off.

I really don't see this as a luxury item (I do have a SQ / H shifter. Don't have a handbrake (yet), but that would come after the button box in my opinion.
