New to board, would like input on custom ZBrush input gizmo.

[stephanpark]

Hello, first time posting here.
I have a ShuttleXpress whos buttons have much to be desired if remapped for ZBrush. What I'd like to do is 3D print a new chassis and wire in Cherry MX brown keys while keeping stock software and pcb/encoders. Planning on using Sparkfun cherry mx switch breakout boards. Custom keykaps or print my own keycaps. Buy stabilizer set for shift and faux space key. It could also be neat to Arduino it completely from scratch keeping all configuration key sequence machros onboard with host PC receiving only standard HID keyboard inputs requiring no drivers.

It would be great to get input before venturing into the dark murkey world of modding.
