Okay, so by “controller” I just mean a specialized mechanical keyboard. Endless Sky is a spiritual successor to the Escape Velocity games.

• Gateron Black for most of the keyboard switches
• Also got momentary toggle switches and a light duty aluminum push button, because Millennium Falcon and Top Gun.
• “DSA” and “F10” profile keycaps
• laser cut (painted Masonite) and 3D printed (PLA)enclosure
• Layout built around the in-cockpit control mapping
• Hand-wired (aka “Dead Bug”) keyboard matrix
• QMK/VIAL programmable firmware on my last Promicro with a Micro-USB cable.
• Dymo-style embossing tape labels!!!
