You can get runs longer than 15 meters with some more specialized cables/repeaters. Prices right now are not terrible either.
For HDMI, a simple option would be an amplifier: Here is an example. Some out there have been verified to work well with the Rift at varying distances. (The one I linked has not, as far as I know. But if it can do 4K at 25 meters, I would imagine it would be fine).
​
VR-Related USB inputs, I would probably stick with long USB 3.0 extender cables. Like this, but find one with the appropriate length.
​
Non-VR related USB inputs and outputs are easy. Cat5e extenders work just fine. Example
​
EDIT: Noticed the USB 3 extender link is for 25 feet and not meters... just changed a few words.
I've been using my folding chair instead of my nice office chair and this comment thread motivated me to find what I think is the solution:

​
Could probably be found cheaper but the reviews convince me it's the correct product at least.
Also I need 5 and it comes in 4 packs FML
Ah, thanks for that. I think this one might work too?
I always found these to be useful. You probably already know about them though: https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Nostromo-PC-Gaming-Keypad/dp/B004AM5RB6
fully programmable with the included software.
One of the challenges is “printing white”.
This will do it (white print on clear labels):
DYMO Label Manager 280
I used it for my power panel

Flight Controls are:
Driving control is the Logitech G27: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B001NT9TK4 . The G27 has been replaced with the G29, but is still available if someone wanted it.
I also use the TrackIR 5 for both fly and drive: https://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/

I used a pretty low rent approach. I don't own Photoshop so I downloaded Gimp, which was a pain in the beginning since I've only ever used PS.
Setup the canvas size in inches so it exactly matched the box dimensions (minus a bit to account for screw holes). Black background layer. From there it was a matter of creating a bunch of little circles (to represent drill hole locations) and text boxes. Lots of copying layers, grouping layers, arranging layers and aligning layers. A real pain in the ass tbh.
Once I had the button icons and text laid out I tried drawing the lines, which proved to be a bigger PITA, since Gimp handles lines and shapes differently than I'm used. Eventually I just gave up and copied the main image from Gimp over to Powerpoint and drew all the lines you see using shapes.
From there it was just a matter of printing on my home printer. I considered more expensive ways but in the end just went with that. Finally, I bought a pack of these:
https://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Self-Sealing-Laminating-LS854-25G-WM-LS854WC/dp/B00006HZ5F
And worked with that. I don't have a laminating machine and wasn't going to buy one just for this. Nor did I really want to deal with engraving shops or any other more professional approach.
Of course the trade off is there are probably 17 different tiny flaws, particularly due to some sloppy drill alignment. But it's perfect for my needs. Also, it seems like one of the switches has come disconnected, which isn't surprising given that I'm cramming ~100 little wires into that small space. So I do need to open it back up and figure out what's gone wrong there.
