We were challenged by a viewer to make the cheapest button box possible using an old Xbox 360 wired controller. After scavenging the board from within the control we aim to use our own buttons and convert this controller into a standard button box.
This is part one in a series of videos. Part one building a button box and parts 2 and 3 will see what other components we can steal from this controller board.

Great review, you've convinced me to buy one of these for my rig
One question, do you think the mounting brackets could be inverted (and swapped left to right) to mount it from the top?

Hey man. Love your style and input on all your reviews. I have a question: my rig is fo the ps4, it has the thrustmaster t300 Alcántara edition, the fanatec clubsport v3 pedals, the cpx adapter from Basherboards, and I am looking forward to get this fanate shifter. You said that I could connect this shifter directly to the pedals via a USB cable. My question is: is that setup only for pc or will it work with the setup I provided above?
Thanks very much for your answer. I wouldn't wanna have to conform with the th8 because a misunderstanding of compatibility, and missing out on the fanatec Choice.
Thanks a bunch!

Okay 20 minutes is too short. Make the races an hour. Can you make it w/o pitting? I don't know, but with or w/o pitting it would be fun.

Thanks for the breakdown of your driving next to the best of your race. This comparison was an eye opener to how I should be driving compared to how I am actually driving. You keep referring to trail breaking I'm relatively new to this new IRacing,(was an original owner of the first Nascar and had spend hours upon hours doing it.) And I just don't get how it helps or hurts your racing style, I'll keep watching thanks for the video's and keep going fast. Tony
