Improvements to the Hand Held Throttles

I wouldn't have thought anyone would buy the smaller DigiTrax type controller's either, but they do. Its all about choices I suppose and what suits people's requirements best.

One day when my programmer needs something to do, I think we'll make this happen.

That would be something to see. Too bad your programmer can't... oh wait, I can't go down that path :(

People buy them because there is a significant cost advantage to them for their requirements. If the DigiTrax utility throttle cost the same as the full fledged DigiTrax DT602 no one would buy the utility throttle; well, I have a very hard time seeing anyone buying them because your getting less for the same cost. This is why I don't see it working for RP because the hardware requirements for a utility type throttle for RP are the same as for the full fledged HC so I don't see that there'd be any cost advantage to be had.

I believe someone mentioned this earlier, but I wanted to provide a visual example. How about a slimming effect where the users thumb and fingers would fit nice and secure.
William Brillinger:
There's nothing stopping somebody from offering an after market 3d printed replacement case to fit the existing parts into if they really wanted it.
ron045:
There is actually quite a bit stopping them...
Volume and price. The 3rd party has got to determine what their market it for this mod AND who is capable to install and willing to pay for it.
The person doing the mod MUST be capable and not the ordinary user. Have a pro do the install makes the cost even higher and discourages users from doing the Mod.
Since Ring is soliciting ideas, I just thought wouldn't this be a great time to consider a ergonomic modification.
Maybe not....
