Multiswitch complexes

Multiswitch complexes refers to rotaries and buttons/toggles working together to produce more button numbers than the individual switches could do alone.

There are four variants:

• Hybrid rotary

• Multifunction rotary

• Modded encoder

• Stacked encoder

Comparison:

	Hybrid	Multifunction	Modded encoder	Stacked encoder
Switches required	(Encoder or 12-way switch) + 1 button	12-way switch + (2 buttons or single encoder)	Encoder + modButton	Encoder + single button
Button numbers	Up to 128	24	4	4 - 128
Position	Counting	Absolute	Incremental	Incremental
Supported sim	Sim needs to accept simultaneous key presses as bindings. Only iRacing comes to mind.	Any	Any	Any

As you can see, they all have their strengths and weaknesses. Visit the subpages to read more about the different multiswitch complexes.
