Very innovative, although I would consider this a HOKAK (Hands On Keyboard And Keybord) as no Throttle or Stick are actually inplace. :-)


Coaleyed-Lock

Unfamiliar with this acronym. Was scary what a small mistype resulted in when I googled it. lol


Coaleyed-Lock

Would have to get HOGAG or something though. I don’t use my keyboard unless I’m chatting. Most of my keybinds are numbers and mouse functions. HOGAMOG? lol. Hands on gamepad on mouse on gamepad.

Calling a pair of Azerons and a cyro a hotas definitely is unusual. I don't quite see how it matches the definition


Coaleyed-Lock

Hotas stuff is the only equipment that I could use to make this happen.


UnknownSP

By hotas stuff you mean table mounts made of aluminum extrusions?


Coaleyed-Lock

With Hotas mounting plates from a Hotas company. Yes.


surfertj

Wow, what are those controllers! Intriguing!


Coaleyed-Lock

Azeron Gaming Keypads. I’ve modded the right hand to use a trackball. https://www.azeron.eu/

I’ve been eyeballing one of these for a bit. How long have you had it. And how do you like them? After seeing it’s 3d printed , multiple reports of broken “keys” and still having a $200+ price tag I’ve stopped looking. But still wanna try it.


Incognito_Cube

I’ve had mine for a little over a year, mostly use it for MOBAs & you can definitely tell it’s 3D printed, but the quality is there regardless. I have had no issues with broken or cracked buttons/components. Genuinely feels good to play with once you get used to it.


Lord_havik

I honestly just want one for the left hand. To not keep them cramped up to cover the typical wasd. Thanks for the input


surfertj

Cool ones! But why do you have TWO for your right hand? And cool clock underneath your monitor! Where did you find that one?


Vitamin_J94

He said finished. Oh my sweet summer child


Coaleyed-Lock

Haha. Haven’t touched anything in 2 weeks. It’s a record.


DNZ_not_DMZ

What do you play with this setup?


Coaleyed-Lock

Not much anymore honestly. Just became a passion project. I’m just playing WoW 2-3 times a week. This has been more frequent since my project is done though. lol


CranberrySchnapps

I tried an Azeron and just couldn’t get used to it. Too many buttons felt like my mouse hand didn’t have enough to do XD


Coaleyed-Lock

Not much different from the direction things are heading with the southpaw keypads. Everyone is trying to get more buttons to your left hand.


FakeSafeWord

I went with a movemaster instead of Azerons. How do you like them?


Coaleyed-Lock

I’ve looked at a lot of gamepads and only used 3 different types. I dunno. I find this controller so comfortable. Especially after modifying it with work done by me and the community. So easy to click things. Every move feels natural. Learning curve so it’s not a hot swap move to it if you are going to do something like a high in game raid. Enjoy it so much I decided to get the left controller too.


JoelMDM

There is neither a throttle nor a stick involved with this. It’s definitely hands on though, although how you properly control an aircraft with this is beyond me.


Coaleyed-Lock

Yeah. I got called out for that earlier. I guess I should have just said “with HOTAS designed hardware” or something.


FireQuencher_

I use one of these as a button box in addition to my hotas


Bushpylot

What's your honest opinion about those hand controllers. I've watched them evolve, but have wondered if they are actually useful. I can see you have a keyboard too, so, I assume they cannot easily replace a keyboard. I think you can now get TV mounts that fold down from the ceiling. I can never have enough screens up at once


Coaleyed-Lock

Comfort wise there’s nothing like them. Due to the keys being like this on the rows: 4 4 6 4 It would be difficult to replace it. They weren’t designed to be a replacement for a keyboard. I play a lot of mmo/mmorpg. I do offensive on left and defensive things on my right hand. More of a Tartersauce (Razer) type controller but you can actually click the top row.


dyllan_duran

Very cool. The right hand has a trackball? I'd love something like this for rts games. One ain't cutting it anymore 😂


Coaleyed-Lock

Yeah last image. My GitHub is out there tied to Melphor’s original work.


flamingeyebrows

Can I ask what monitor stands you use? I have the exact same monitor combination and need a new stand


Coaleyed-Lock

Ergotron arms with the special adapter for the Samsung 49”


HexaCube7

oo cool but why 45° angled picture? ;-;


Coaleyed-Lock

Backed up into the doorway and the stairs makes part of the desk get cut out. lol.


Spiderboy730

where can I get that desk?


Coaleyed-Lock

Uplift


EZ-READER

I am far more interested in your screen layout.


Coaleyed-Lock

(2) 27” Acer XV273K (for text clarity) and the 49 Samsung Odyssey


Coaleyed-Lock

It’s Uplift desks.
