That's very cool. I think I would love to have something like that to go on to the back of a gamepad sort of deal. Working in VR is difficult when you have to change input devices. The gamepad is best for navigation, the keyboard is best for text input, the mouse is overall bad.
Thanks. I agree that handling multiple types of input in VR is difficult. That's actually the problem I wanted to solve with this project when I started it (details: https://hackaday.io/project/1321-keychange). But life intervened and the project scope shrunk.
I do some hardware hacking myself sometimes. Been meaning to sew this xbox controller joystick module onto a glove I've built that provides haptic feedback when sensed with the Leap Motion. Hit me up on my profile.
