Wait until you find out the analysis they do on car door closing sounds and the clickiness of specific buttons! Industrial Design is COOOL.

Buying industrial buttons and modding old controllers isn’t really mainstream but damn it should be.

A NES controller with switches and joysticks normally used in a combine harvester is really satisfying.

Haha no that’s not what I meant. Industrial Design is a profession and automotive industrial designers design all sorts of things, from the shape of the body to the swoopiness of a headlight to the specific clacky feel of various buttons.
