SIM-PANEL R Gen 2 Button Box
A US-made, USB enthusiast button box that mounts vertically or horizontally on a cockpit or desk and ships with a programmable RGB layout. It's a reputable-brand accessory rather than a standout, and the spec sheet is light on switch counts. Good for racers who want cockpit-friendly vertical mounting and customizable lighting from a known US name; not the pick if you need a documented button and encoder count before buying.
