Looking fantastic! That breakout board is a lot cleaner than the rats nest of wires I ended up with in my base. Great idea.

Thank you Jeruw. I am really happy with the results so far.
I will upload pcb files in Gerber format, once I've done some minor modifications.

Another (crappy*) picture with board installed

and one with original base on top

Usb opening is huge, I know, but better safe than sorry.

Cable sleeving

*I promise I will replace all photos with better ones once I get a digital camera. It is 1000 times better in real life.

I've finished my delta throttle and it works like a charm!

Photos of final project once I get my hands on a digital camera.

For now, I am uploading gerber and drill files for break out board

I did and I don't think that I will ever be able to play Star Citizen without it :)
Now, I have to wait for RSI to fix decouple mode bug that came with 1.1

Edit: Who needs decouple mode, when you can assign:

X Axis = Strafe Left/Right
Y Axis = Strafe Front/Back
Z Axis = Strafe Up/Down

and use keyboard W/S to set throttle?!

Tweaking curves atm

19 Days for delivery (China -> Greece) but it was worth it.
