Create Your Own Fully Functional Computer Control Panel
Sometimes the best DIY projects are overkill. This is exactly what a Reddit user has done in his computer’s dashboard, which controls everything from music to launching apps.
The control panel does a lot of useful things along with its ridiculous posture. It can launch apps, adjust volume, change screen settings, and more. It is built using many switches and LEDs, and is powered by an Arduino and multiple USB controllers. As absurd and complex as it is, it is still surprisingly functional. You’ll find a build guide on Imgur and some questions about how to do it on Reddit.
