Yes extending the wires would be the easiest and most logical solution. wink But now I am thinking about using a PS2 type connector between base and grip, so I can easily switch grips. I would like the CH Combatstick for modern stuff and a KG12 type for WWII.

Sergeype on the IL2 forums has posted a recent version of 74HC165 SR with resistor networks. The schematic differs a wee bit from the one posted here. He has done the GND - VCC decoupling C on input and output side, 10k Ohm pullup R on the last data input side and 10k Ohm pullup on the CS pin input side. I cant really make sense of this... :/

Thanks guys!

Edit: Ok, on his shield he also has DATA and CS pullup Rs before connecting them to the Pro Micro.
