This was my first real dive into Arduino and multiple button mapping. It took a significant amount of trouble shooting and learning the software to get things to map to the computer action.

Prototype 1:Started this project before I had a laser cutter and had tried to just drill through acrylic. It didn’t work well, but it held my buttons during testing

Prototype 2 Still no laser cutter but I cut out using plywood worked much better for manually cutting out the holes

Prototype 3 Much better

    I have friends nearby who have a good quality 3D printer and a nice CNC mill. I’m heavily leaning toward the laser cutter.
