The Bang Evolution has a special button (BANGED) for entering a new layer of inputs similar to SHIFT, CTRL, or ALT on keyboard. This allows for more buttons to be used on the same box.

This box supports games like Assetto Corsa Competizione on consoles directly & in Keyboard Remap for F1 on consoles and any game on PC with Joystick support.

It is based on the Banged Evolution R1 PCB attached to an Arduino Micro.

Source code is available on GitHub.

The size of the box is 200mm x 120mm x 75mm. It has 17 push buttons and 3 rotary encoders and 3 rotary encoder push buttons and 7 holes and one hole for USB cable and one RGB LED and 16 LEDs. Giving a total of 50 inputs. Using Arduino Micro, Banged Evolution.

This box supports games like Accetto Corsa Competizione, iRacing, Assetto Corsa, Project Cars 2, RaceRoom, Dirt Rally, Dirt Rally 2.0, F1 Series, Automobilista 2, and more.

It has 33 functional buttons and a BANG button.

The BANG button feature gives you 2 modes:

Normal push

Which shifts your 33 buttons for 33 other ingame functions or keypress/joystick buttons

Long push

Allows you to change game profile for the box so it can be directly used in Assetto Corsa Competizione or as Keyboard or Joystick button remapping.

Currently the box has 3 profiles: ACC, Keyboard, Joystick, but any game which has keyboard shortcuts to change car mechanics while driving can be configured for this box.

The size of the box is 200mm x 120mm x 75mm. It has 34 push buttons and one hole for USB cable. Giving a total of 66 inputs. Using Arduino Leonardo, Bang Systems 6x6 Matrix Grid v1.0.
