DIY Floor Controller

[rdeyer]

I got tired of walking over to my keyboard and also explaining to new players which buttons do what, so I built a DIY floor controller to control TGC 2019. It was a lot easier than I thought. The whole thing cost ~$70 and I built it in a couple hours.

Below are links to what I bought to build it:

• Electrical box ($23) - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08N1HRLGB/
• Joystick buttons ($27) - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MR6JKMS/
• USB socket, optional ($14) - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CXXS9M1/

To drill out the holes I used a step bit (i.e., https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PPRDBM5/).

To keep the box from sliding around, especially when pushing on the joystick with my clubs, I used grippers at the bottom (i.e., https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08C373VBW/).

To program the buttons I used https://joytokey.net/en/. It's a free program which is great. Most of the buttons are just single buttons to program. The Mulligan option was the exception, which I programmed to be ESC, Down, Down, Enter.

Great idea with the felt. I was going to put a decal on the black control box but now I will wrap it and paint it with a stencil

Here is my diy version I even designed my own PCB to go along with it its basicly a 13 button wireless keyboard plug and play no programming

You can get a great selection of DIY parts for control boxes at ClubKeyboard.com they also have preconfigured professionally made boxes available, plug and play ready to use out of the box.

That's still wired and really expensive for some reason. And if you have to program something with that many buttons why not use a customized tablet remote app? It's free. Reason for a box is the simplicity of it, don't want alot of buttons just the basics to complete a game of golf. And have it be wireless.

Was able to program more hotkeys into my control box. Used autohotkey to write my own hotkeys. So now I won't need a mouse for anything in gspro

This is how you write your own hotkeys for GSPRO. You can adjust it to your own specific diy control box or keyboard or even a keyboard tablet app.
