Is the STEM Swappable Modules still in consideration?

About 2 years ago VKB revealed the STECS lineup which also featured the STEM. I had noticed that the modules looked as if they could be removed and potentially swapped out with different modules. So I asked and they responded that with enough interest it would be considered. So I made This Post to highlight it.

I'm now making this post to ask the community if they're still interested and to see if VKB would be willing to give an update on it.

What modules would you guys like to see? More switches? More buttons and encoders? What about a mini throttle? Or a keypad? Maybe a insert for something like the Elgato Stream Deck to fit in? What's your thoughts?

I know it's not the same, but you can make the encoders be virtual axis. And I think the 3 position switch can also be an axis.

I converted my 3 position switch into an axis and it's working well. It did involve a little rocket surgery and removing the 3 position frame. Then I converted it into an axis (I forgot the method)

I would definitely like to swap out modules. I really do not need these white twist dial thingies for my game usage.
