I just finished modding an old clicky style keyboard with foot pedals for +/- Thrust and Afterburner.
I wired up the foot pedals so that they are in parallel with the keyboard keys.
It looks great, I'm hoping it helps my game play!
I posted some more pictures of it om my web site here:

Has any one else built their own customized controls?

Nice. Let us know how it plays!

There are two speeds in combat: stopped, and as fast as you can go. Unless you run into something, going fast keeps you alive more often than stopping.

Ah man, it worked great for about four months. then it started typing "-" keys all the time. so something in my foot pedals shorted out, that or the old clicky keyboard bit the dust.

I wonder what happened to all those rudder pedal kits that used to be everywhere. Can't find too many these days. Rudder pedals, and the bank/turn setup is my preferred way to fly!
Let's see if another full salvo of missiles improves their attitude, shall we?
