“DIY Wireless Golf Simulator Control Box for Under $85 in Just 20 Minutes!

[@ryanstratton5895]

Very Cool man. Also love buttons that make noise

[@Power5]

I am just in the planning phase of my sim build. Will definitely be checking you out for one of these depending on my final PC setup in my build. I was looking at GSPro as well. Is there no way to custom map inside GSPro so that there would be no need for joytokey?

[@igolfandimakestuff2629]

Gspro has built-in keyboard hotkeys. So you need joy to key to map the buttons if you are using a USB arcade encoder. My fully setup boxes require almost zero setup and no programming. They use the hotkeys built into the software

[@Power5]

Most modern software of any kind allows you to create custom shortcuts for their keyboard commands. In Photoshop you can make copy paste whatever you want if you do not like ctrl+C ctrl+V that is the default. If the box is recognized as a USB input device joykey should not be needed with any other software that allows customizing keyboard shortcuts. That really needs to be suggested to GSPro.

[@igolfandimakestuff2629]

They have some big updates coming, so hopefully, something like that is incorporated into it. We will see

2:45 don’t worry.. the delivery guy will throw it for you.. 😂

[@Bheermann326]

I would love to print my own box and truly DIY one of these but can’t find a wireless encoder board

[@igolfandimakestuff2629]

I think if you just Google wirless USB encoder a few versions will come up on some of the aliexpres type websites

[@wdunn36]

What is the name of the tool to set the keys on the board?

[@igolfandimakestuff2629]

Joy to key

[@igolfandimakestuff2629]

O dang. Yea, don't wana do that. Hopefully, ya get it going. You can also youtube Joy to key. Lots of better videos than I could ever make on it already out there

[@ncphenom2309]

Ok. I got it all working but it does something strange. In order to get it to work I have to open the joy mapping app then press one of the buttons. Have you seen that before? I have it hooked up to a battery and all the lights are on. It just won’t do anything in gsppro until I got into the joy app.

[@igolfandimakestuff2629]

Yes Joy to key does need to be open for the box to function

[@kitzferrer7170]

Do you shipped to other country?

[@igolfandimakestuff2629]

Check out all my listing's on etsy. What I have in on etsy ships all over the place. So see if it works for you. I'm not sure the shipping rates etsy calculates that. bacustomproductsllc.etsy.com

[@VRSTLPerformance]

Should definitely include the battery case for it those things bulk are super cheap and you just have to put a ph2.0 connector and toss it in the box people can do the rest. You can’t buy them individually that easy, costs the price of getting 5 to get 1 lol

[@igolfandimakestuff2629]

Yea, I started including the ph2.0 connector in there and only recently realized I can get the 18650 holder for stupid cheap. I'd love to even include the battery, but I'm just not sure if I trust shipping lithium batteries and having people claim me if something goes wrong.

[@VRSTLPerformance]

⁠that’s totally fair! I would 100% be ok if something goes wrong with the one you send. Figuring it out what battery works, where to get it is a hassle. I’d pay a bit more too to have everything I need on the box and then I can just build it all haha

[@VRSTLPerformance]

@@igolfandimakestuff2629could even just have the holder in there and we can just buy the battery but not have to deal with installing wires properly lmao just popping the battery makes it easier for us not so handy haha

[@igolfandimakestuff2629]

Very fair point. Probably something I will start including now (the battery holder) and even having it solderd to the ph2.0 connector. Or maybe I add that as a small $5 upgrade. As the main point of this one was trying to keep my time involved in it as minimal as possible. Maybe I can source 1865p battery holders with ph2.0 connectors already. I'll dig into it as that's what my new mega box runs on. So I'll be digging deeper into batteries and holders for that so could work for both products

[@VRSTLPerformance]

@@igolfandimakestuff2629 fantastic I’m sure people will pay 5-10$ for your time to get that part taken care of. Took me a while to get that sorted so wouldn’t mind that at all haha
