    This might be a dumb question, but where do you put your Mouse/Keyboard during in the simulator? I bet someone solved this already. I don't want to get out of the sim every time I want to change the race/game/car/...

    Thanks in advance!

    It's called a Rii remote. You wouldn't want to type out an essay on one, but they work well for media centres and sim rigs. A bit of Velcro glued to the back and you can attach it and remove it from your rig easily. They are cheap too (£15 or so).
