I really got tired of unplugging and re-plugging my wheel and shifter USB connectors every time I wanted to change from PC racing to console racing so I decided to do something about it. Now all I have to do is select PC, PS3 or XBox and I'm ready to go, no more unplugging/re-pluggin USB cords to change systems. (AUX is for future use).

Here's a pic:

Very, very cool idea! Well executed to, I love when people do the carbon fibre look on sim racing parts. 👍
May I ask what actually goes on inside that box? I'm guessing it's like a switchboard of some kind but I'm not the most electrically minded person out there
 
I bet you could make a few bucks if you decided to produce and sell some of those!

It's a simple USB 2.0 4 Port Manual Sharing Switch Box, one in four out (or vice versa). Just select PC, PS3 or XBox (I don't have the XBox connected in pics). Here's a pic of the back.

Disregard the use of this with the XBox. I have not used my XBox since the whole FFB issue started and forgot that it uses wireless connection. Without thinking I added it to my control box since I had four slots and wanted to label each. Boy do am I a :dunce:
