theres not actually a whole lot stopping you from diying a hotas setup. like its just a bunch of springs, potentiometers and buttons, a thinkpad nipple for trim and an analogue trigger you scavenged from an offbrand xbox one controller you bought at goodwill. none of this is particularly special hardware the hard part is just the engineering to make it work and more importantly not suck really fucking badly

@snacks you can do hall effect sensors too if you want. probably easier if anything

really the hardest part in this type of thing is force feedback thats not extremely noisy

also polishing the 3d printed parts to reduce scratchiness
