There's also foot switches/pedals. Through the years I've used single switches, Yamaha expression pedals on 15 pin joystick converter, same again on USB converter, two pedal PS1 controller on USB converter, same again on Bluetooth converter, single switch on Bluetooth, a three switch USB (VEC Infinity), a four switch Bluetooth (iRiG BlueBoard), a four switch Bluetooth (custom).
These days I only use the single switch BT, quad switch BT and the triple switch USB. I use the USB "stenographer" pedals for start/stopping YouTube to transcribe lyrics. Most things generate keystrokes, this doesn't, which gives you flexibility. There are reasons to keep your controls out of the main input stream which I'll be happy to go into in excrutiating detail! Needless to say, that is how my custom steering wheel controls work.
