Logitech G25

Wow.

They could not have made this any more complicated if they tried!

Like everyone else, I don't understand why they didn't just use switches.

Aha, well I stand corrected, they have indeed used a pot, although WHY
they have used a pot is beyond me when microswitches would have been a
much better solution IMHO?

Thanx for the info tho, and the photos in that thread are very good, its
handy to see what a G25 looks like from the inside....

Okay, looks like there's only one switch (the one I saw) and that you're
correct.
