SIM-PANEL HT/HTE Button Box for American Truck Simulator (ATS/ETS2 Button Box) (W/Customizable BACKLIGHTING)

Well built, trailer air and parking brake feel crisp. The mounting system sucks, it works sorta but it sucks. Easily remedied by direct attachment. Lighting is good and labels are easy to read. It would be nice to be able to change the labeling.

Very nice unit. Backlighting is a nice feature also. Do recommend this item it’s a lot of fun.

This panel feels fantastic! It is clearly well built, and uses premium materials for everything. To put it bluntly, it actually feels like a real panel instead of feeling like a play toy. If I had to give some sort of feedback on the physical parts of the panel, I'd say that I wish the buttons had more of a clicky feeling when pressing them in. I wouldn't say that they're necessarily super "squishy" (just a little) or anything like that, but it would be nice and satisfying if they had more of a distinct click sound when pressing them in and solid feeling. This is where I'm subtracting a star for. Nonetheless, this panel adds some really great immersion to the ATS/ETS experience, especially when paired with a force feedback wheel, pedals, and gear shift and allows you to heavily cut down on needing to use a keyboard/mouse for functions. Even if all you use is a game controller or keyboard steering, I think this would still benefit you very well! Love that the lighting is configurable too, and that the text/labels of each button is actually legible and crisp even with the lights turned on. Easy to setup in-game as well, you quite literally just go into the controls of ATS/ETS and just make sure the panel is selected as an input method, then click each function in-game and press the button on the panel to "link" it to the function in-game. One negative is that I can't seem to get ATS or ETS to pickup the panel in Linux. I can see that my PC picks it up when listing connected USB devices, but the game doesn't seem to pick it up. I won't count this in my overall rating though since they don't advertise Linux support here on Amazon (though I did see another store online where they did) - thankfully since I dual boot, I can still utilize the panel in Windows just fine. In the future, maybe someone can write a driver or a patch that makes it work. The other downside is that the clamps that are included are a little confusing to setup for the first time, as the instructions are a little vague and could use more clarification. What you do is the "short" side of the clamp rods go into the panel, and then you leave a bit of it out so that the long side can hang over your desk/table. The little screw on things (sorry, I don't know the actual term for them - I'm a software guy, not a hardware guy!) then screw on to the long side of the rods and screw "upwards" so that they create a lock between the panel and the underside of your desk/table. Keep in mind however that they warn you not to screw it in too tightly. After you've set it up for the first time, you won't have a problem setting it up again. They're really sturdy too, and I love that pulling and pushing the parking brake doesn't cause the entire panel to move around. So while the initial learning curve/setup of the clamps is a negative point, its not a strong enough point to be used in the overall rating factor since its only a problem once. As a note to the company, I really wish your upgraded version of this panel had clamps. I was originally going to get the larger/more expensive one until I saw there were no clamps, which was a flat out dealbreaker and so I got this one instead. I do not know why the clamps aren't included in the more premium version. The larger version apparently has VESA mount support, but most VESA mounts are designed for monitors and I couldn't find one that would really apply to a panel like this. If you ever make a revised model, *please* be sure to include clamp support, as I'd love to pickup one that has more buttons but without a clamp I'd be forced to lay it on my desk which is not great.

Nice product easy to use and fair pricing. No problems to install very easy.

Product works great! Expensive but worth it.

You'll need to configure the buttons in the control settings.

Good quality box, all the buttons and switches have good tactile feel. My only complaints with this are 1. The box housing as well as the brake knobs are 3D Printed rather than a more durable material. They are high quality prints with good resolution, however for the price, it should not be printed. 2. I have worries over the keylock switch breaking, however that's only based on my anxiety and haven't experienced that yet. 3. The mounting options are limited, the smaller box here came with mounts, however the larger model with CB radio does not, and is only VESA mount compatible, which really isn't suited for a button box that you'll be pressing and pulling, as most vesa mounts are monitor mounts that easily can swing monitors around. great for monitors, horrible for peripherals. 4. last and least, I would have liked if they included label stickers as the switches are multi-functional, meaning a press and a hold are seen as two different binds. for example, the lights button. yopu can have it set to press for lights, but if you hold it when binding its a whole other function, however there will be no label for the secondary function which youll have to make or just remember what you set it to. Overall, Im happy with this purchase!

This panel works in Windows and in Linux specifically NobaraOS (Fedora based). I will say despite how cool it is, the mounting sucks, I had to get creative to mount this panel to my metal frame that holds my rig.

Ich suchte zur Zeit ATS und mit der Sim -Boxacht es noch mehr Laune

Awesome, I think well overpriced for what it is, but it does the job perfectly. I think £150 overpriced though. Should be at least half the actual price, maybe more than that for what it is.

Ist geil
