I have used Xpadder back in the day. You can simulate a controller. Bind keyboard inputs to that controller. Works really great for stuff like this. Well done built mate
Thanks! I didn't try Xpadder however I have tried some other programs to try to make it work in forza, however none of the programs worked because a controller has different bindings from a steering wheel, so it didn't detect those inputs in forza. So I just kind of gave up on forza and just used it in BeamNG drive.
You have good production quality keep up the good work brother (At some point I even thought to myself "damn this dude surely has a 30k-50k subscription")
Thank you! yeah you're right that it could be a bit fragile when too much force is applied, and I could definitely make it more stable, however I kind of ran out of parts, because I don't have that many technic pieces and I am also working on some other projects using technic bricks.
really sick, I also made something like this but mine has a mechanical link for back and forth movements, and a PF servo for left and right. Then I use a program on my pc to convert the combination of keys into each gear number. it works well but the 2 main problems are that you need to go a bit slower when shifting from 4th to 5th, otherwise the servo can't keep up and you'll shift into 3rd for an instant. and also it only has 6 positions so I cannot have both 6th gear and reverse
I may try to apply this in my keyboard or make an more effective way of pressing the keys, since it looks a bit fragile. Amyways, great design, keep it up! Edit: found some design browsing the internet and it looks more solid, i will see if i can replicate it in lego.
Great to hear that, I did try several options for pressing the keys but this one ended up working the best for me, and the type of keyboard that I used.
this is actually pretty good and I built it for playing carx drift racing it works so good but only problem I have is I cant seem to fix the reverse gear becuz it was not getting pushed down i tried many things but cant really seem to figure it out. If there is way to fix could you please tell me, help is really appreciated
Awesome to hear that you were able to recreate it! The reverse gear works just fine for me, but it definitely is possible that it varies per keyboard, so I would suggest trying different slopes in combination with different snot bricks and different technic axles to try and make it work (though you may have already tried that) but I can't really think of something else that would fix it.
I am probably not going to make an entire video dedicated to that because while building the shifter I already tried out several different mechanisms to press the keys and this one was the only one that ended up working. And it would also be difficult because each keyboard is different, but I would suggest to try some combinations of different lengths of axles and different types of slopes because this mechanism should work for every keyboard, but the slopes and axles might have to be changed.
i tried to replicate, but not working. I am really good with lego, so when i find a solution i will tell you guys. my keyboard is really stiff, so yeah. also it looks way better with a cool looking shifter knob
I think the shifter needs to be fully redesigned for that scenario, as I designed it for games where it automatically goes back to neutral, and it will be quite difficult to add an extra button in the middle for neutral.
You could make a wide button in the middle for neutral, make the axle longer so it reaches the other buttons or make the gear buttons taller The design would be 1 keyboard key wider, im gonna try to do it today and if you want to contact me, i will send you pictures when in done @v:ane:a

The mechanism works insanely well! Certainly a clever use of Lego once again!
Thank you so much dude!

His Lego technical pieces: **exists**
Him: And I Took That Personally.
This man deserver far more subscribers, his work Is amazing.
thank you, appreciate it!
It’s better to buy the bricks and build it than buying an actual one!
That’s actually cool! are you able to make it more stable? because it feels a bit fragile (of course it’s a Lego) if you put too much force on it
Thank you! yeah you're right that it could be a bit fragile when too much force is applied, and I could definitely make it more stable, however I kind of ran out of parts, because I don't have that many technic pieces and I am also working on some other projects using technic bricks.

Thank you! And your solution sounds really interesting as well and also a bit more complicated.
Remember me when you get famous! I can't believe you only have 400 subs.
I will try : )
ive made like 2 not so lucky prototypes for a lego shifter, recreating this concept rn
I dont know why ur videos dont have a lot of views, they're as good or better than videos from 200k+ suscribers channels
Thank you, really appreciate you saying that!

Very cool dude good job🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
Does anyone know how to build this? I’ve spent a week trying to build my own but I’m stuck trying to get the button pushing mechanism
Did you do it?
@@mattia4704 sort of.
Yoooo bros playin beamng
Id instantly break it when sweating in Assetto lol but great, also im really late
Haha, yeah it's definitely a bit flimsy😅 But it at least works for casual driving
Is it possible to use your shifter design tofether with your handbrake on the same keyboard if i redesign the shifter to be in diffrent angle?
Yeah that would probably be possible, though I do think that it would be easier to place the handbrake in a different angle
nice work. keep it up
Thank you!
Wow thats sick👍
Thank you!
how do u use 2 keyboards?
2 words bruh: so sick
Thank you!
Eso si es llevar a nivel extremo con lego 🎉🎉😮
can you do a full build video on all the parts
nah sorry I am quite busy with other projects and I don't really feel like doing anything more on this project.
you can download an app that you can bind the keys to a game that you select.
I tried some of those apps, but for me they unfortunately all didn't work.
this is actually pretty good and I built it for playing carx drift racing it works so good but only problem I have is I cant seem to fix the reverse gear becuz it was not getting pushed down i tried many things but cant really seem to figure it out.

@@KoenkunBricks thanks ill try that
I can’t make the clicking mechanism can u make a tutorial for 5 ways to press key on keyboard (5 ways including the one in the video) plsss

And it would also be difficult because each keyboard is different, but I would suggest to try some combinations of different lengths of axles and different types of slopes because this mechanism should work for every keyboard, but the slopes and axles might have to be changed.
can you make a video of the instruction please
Cool
Thanks!
What is the name of the game?
It's called, BeamNG drive
Thx
I subscribed and liked ❤keep up the amazing work and content of videos 🔥❤️
no problem, and thank you so much, really appreciate it!
i tried to replicate, but not working. I am really good with lego, so when i find a solution i will tell you guys. my keyboard is really stiff, so yeah. also it looks way better with a cool looking shifter knob
I'm sorry to hear that, but it probably is because all keyboards are just a bit different so some will detect a press quicker than others.
@@KoenkunBricks i figured it out and use it for farming simulator
thx man
NL?
This is illegal (in a good way)
TUTORIAL PLSSSSSSSSS
ok so i finished it it was 8:00 now 2:16am so that was fun i just reminded the video over and over again
Copier
what do you mean?
Id like to see you build one without "copying"
For other games if i put it out of gear how do i put it to stay in nrutral because it remains in the gear
I think the shifter needs to be fully redesigned for that scenario, as I designed it for games where it automatically goes back to neutral, and it will be quite difficult to add an extra button in the middle for neutral.
Yeahhh
