and ACC wants even more stuff mapped.Īnd you can't even switch the wheel if you would want. In Raceroom for example there are 6 buttons (iirc) needed for the pitstops, the usual 6 for the seat-position and FOV, 2 for FFB etc. (Editors note: For the record, I love button boxes - especially replica real world dash setups and / or ones that look like they come from a race car).Ĭlick to expand.In AC many functions can't be mapped but must be adjusted with the sidebar-apps like seat adjustment, FFB, pitstop-strategy etc. Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below!


With this in mind, is it still useful to have a more traditional button box, or are they quickly becoming more of an indulgence than practical improvement to your sim racing setup? does this spell the end of traditional button boxes in sim racing?Ī lot of our community here at RaceDepartment probably rock a button box or two on their sim racing rigs, or at the very least are aware of some options available to purchase in the growing sim racing hardware marketplace - however, unlike in recent memory, more and more alternatives to the traditional physical button boxes are becoming available - from smartphones and tablets with loaded up with Simhub overlays, to the powerful Stream Deck boxes on offer today. Sim hardware comes in all different shapes and sizes, and nowadays, we have ever more diverse ways to add functionality to a rig.
