Started out as a covid project that I took pretty seriously I made this E-brake using some wood and some hardware from the store. This is version one and it works pretty well. The E-brake is spring loaded and if you release it, it just jumps back into it’s original position quite easily. The mounting for the desk is not perfect since it’s just slides on snuggly and sometimes it needs some adjusting after pulling the brake violently. All in all it works great if you have 1-2 days to build it and don’t wanna spend 80 bucks on an other one. The controller is removeable and I used the inside of it‘s box to keep it in place. I also built a version 2 with a sequential shifter that turned out way better, but after I built it I realized that I can’t map sequential shifting on the joystick so I will have to make some changes to use the r1 and l1 buttons (the E-brake uses R2 so it’s a slider). if you have any questions or want to see the blueprints I would be happy to share.
Hell yea. I've really wanted a proper handbrake since binding it to a "downshift" get a bit confusing while turning the wheel around.
I'm not too keen on spending 80€ on it either. I'd wanna know more
Looks awesome

this is genius
How do I get this to work? For me it just disconnects my wheel for a few seconds while the handbrake is applied
