Derek Speare Designs P1 Racing Controller Review

Shaun I've never used a button box before.  What actions did you program to the buttons so you didn't have to use the keyboard?  I mean, specifically your functions.

After a few more weeks of usin ghtis box I can tell you it is one of my favorite.  Many button boxes use high quality parts and this one is no different, but I am really enjoying the panel mount solution for this one and it finishes my rig off so nicely.

I also heard from DES racing and they make some cool printed overlays for DSD boxes.  I am going to get one and see what the box looks like then.

Here is some more information about these from a post at the iraicng site by DES Racing:

Looks great. I like the rounded corners. I have a couple of boxes made by someone else and they have sharp corners. But they do make racing so much easier and more natural. 

Nice review Shaun. Got the P1 at Christmas and funny enough, just finished a panel mount with it yesterday. As you stated, looks great that way. I have to agree with your "crickets" about rating the button box - it is elegant, sturdy, and works lika a charm.
