Price includes €0.08 eco-tax (WEEE). USB-C cable required (port or adapter).
Delivered with desktop legs — sits on any desk, next to your HOTAS.

The General Systems panel is the heart of your desktop cockpit. Manage the power triangle (weapons, shields, thrusters, reset), lock or open doors, raise the landing gear and steer shield power to any face of your ship — front, back, left, right, top, bottom — with one labeled key each.

Its signature is the customizable MFD block: 16 backlit buttons you assign to anything you like, a push rotary encoder tied to status LEDs, a MODE key that changes the screen backlight color, and a brightness potentiometer. Print your own profile sheet, slide it into the dedicated slot, and the panel adapts to your ship and your playstyle. Two USB-A ports on the back power Pilot Gaming MFD backlight kits for an even deeper cockpit glow.

How it works

Each panel connects over USB and shows up in Windows as a standard game controller — exactly like a HOTAS. Open the Star Citizen keybinding menu, switch to the Joystick / HOTAS view, press the labeled button you want to assign, and you are done. No drivers, no companion software, no profiles to maintain.

The labels are printed on the front face and the buttons are backlit; every function name matches the official Star Citizen terminology, so your muscle memory builds instantly.

Frequently asked questions

The MODE key is not detected

This is normal: the MFD block's MODE key only changes the screen backlight color and sends no button to the game.

What are the USB-A ports on the back for?

They power Pilot Gaming MFD backlight kits, so you can light your Thrustmaster MFDs without using other ports on your PC.

Do the panels work on Mac or Linux?

The panels show up as a standard USB game controller. They are tested and guaranteed on Windows, the platform Star Citizen runs on. Mac and Linux generally recognize this type of controller, but I have not tested them, so I cannot guarantee it.

Do they work with games other than Star Citizen?

Yes: any game that accepts a HOTAS or a joystick recognizes them, for example Elite Dangerous, DCS World or Microsoft Flight Simulator. The printed labels, however, match Star Citizen's functions.

How do I bind the keys in Star Citizen?

Open Options › Keybindings and switch the view to Joystick / HOTAS: the panel is only recognized in this view. Select the action, then press the button on the panel. The diagram on each product page is a recommendation: you can bind any button to whatever you like.

Which cable is included?

A 2 m USB cable is included with every panel. The Targeting Systems uses a USB-C connector; the General Systems and Mining Systems use a reinforced, sturdier USB-B connector.

Do I need to rebind the keys after a Star Citizen update?

Sometimes. The game is constantly evolving: some actions appear, get renamed or disappear. After a major update, check your bindings in the Joystick / HOTAS view and rebind the affected keys.

What warranty do I get?

Products are covered by the 2-year legal guarantee of conformity. Every panel is tested by hand, button by button, before shipping. If anything goes wrong, contact me before any return: most issues are solved in a few minutes.

Can I return a product?

Yes, you have 14 days from delivery. The product must be returned unused, in its original packaging; return shipping is at your expense. The refund is made within 14 days of receiving the return, as set out in our terms of sale.
