I really love what you are doing! I also have the same X52 controller, and I am planning on creating a similar setup to yours. Although, I have a raspberry pi that I'd like to incorporate somehow. Minus the cost of the X52, how much money would you say you have put into this project? Any thoughts of disassembling the X52 to make a sleeker setup? I do like the fact that Saitek put through holes that you can use to mount the joystick/throttle; however, I wonder how difficult it would be to disassemble it without breaking anything... Also, have you found a way to incorporate the MFD on the throttle controller to display KSP related data? I haven't found any great documentation that describes how to modify the MFD to output whatever you want, but I am sure it can be done. Keep up the good work!
