At first, some words about this project.
The idea was to design a wheel that would be wireless, like rally wheel. My choise for wireless board was Simucube wireless module. Wireless wheel also means that there will be no display or leds. I knew I'll always have option to add display or leds behind the wheel, like williams F1 team has done.
When I started to design wheel layout, I had to test many pairs of grips. I wanted to have comfortable grips would fit to my hands. Here are some models I tried during testing. Some of designs were downloaded fron thingiverse and some of them I made myself. Finally I ended up designing my own grips.
This time I didn't have to design everything from scratch. I used same shifter mechanisms that I used at Rally wheel - off course paddles had to be changed. I also was able to use some parts of the button covers wtih just little changes.
Buttons: I wanted to have more buttons than I have in rally wheel. Finally I ended up to use nearly all inputs, that were available at my wireless board. Final design included 2 paddle shifters, 12 buttons, 2 2-way toggle switches and 4 rotary encoders. And yes - a power switch too.
