Okay, so by “controller” I just mean a specialized mechanical keyboard. Endless Sky is a spiritual successor to the Escape Velocity games. EDIT: I also realized this pic is from before I wired it up, but the only differences are four screws in the corners and the Micro USB cord from my long-gone Nexus 10 tablet semi-permanently coming out the back.

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!!!
