The Mining Systems panel turns Star Citizen mining and salvage into a tactile experience. Ping the radar (long press for 10-second auto-ping), run an active scan and trim the scan angle with dedicated keys — then switch between mining and salvage modes with a single labeled toggle.
Laser control is the star of the show: choose fracture or extraction, step the power with 8 direct buttons, then fine-tune it with an ultra-precise rotary encoder whose push toggles the laser on and off. Salvage pilots get gimbal toggle, left/right cycle modifiers and a rotary for beam spacing. Three module keys (long press) trigger your mining gadgets, and a guarded JETTISON CARGO key (press and hold) starts a 5-second countdown before dumping your hold. The panel lighting reacts to every mode and power change for a fully immersive mining rig.

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
Some buttons are not detected, is this normal?
Yes. MODULE 1, 2, 3 and JETTISON CARGO are press-and-hold buttons: hold them for about half a second. Jettison Cargo arms a 5 s countdown, then sends the button to the game: in the Windows game controller test, it therefore only lights up briefly at the end of the 5 s. Hold it again during the countdown to cancel.
How does auto-ping work?
A short press on PING sends a single ping (purple LED). A long press turns auto-ping on: the LED turns solid green and a ping is sent every 10 s, with a purple flash on each ping. Another long press turns it off.
The −5 / +5 and fixed-value power buttons do not show up in the game
This is normal: they act directly on the rotary encoder value, which is sent to the game as an axis. Bind laser power to this axis by turning the encoder; the encoder push is a real button that turns the laser on or off.
The power gauge stays off
The light gauge only lights up in mining mode: switch the panel to MINING mode, then turn the encoder.
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.

★★★★★Excellent piece of equipment, does the job perfectly. Key binding is easy. There's a minor issue with the mining potentiometer being reversed, but this can be easily fixed in the inversion settings.

★★★★★Editing my review to give this more credit. The mining system has been pretty cool for Star Citizen so far. The module works like a dream. There were some issues getting it to work correctly in game but the seller has awesome customer service and provided plenty of information to help figure things out. Highly recommend.
