@@DaMu24 I have none of the tools, or knowledge to make this myself. Same can be said of 80% of the general gaming population. And yes, it hasn't "dropped" yet since it's still in development.
That's the consequence of digital triggers. Not much you can do about that (well technically you could have left stick x axis for throttle and y axis for break and learn to move mostly diagonally except in cases like you mentioned but I think that would be awkward probably)
Really love the slick design especially the focus on gyro control. There's one thing tho that may worth extra attention. According to my experience, micro usb connector always breaks after about 2 years of daily use, type-c connector is much more durable.
Definitely to be considered, but the microprocessor used in the Alpakka is a Raspberry Pi Pico, which only has a micro USB port. Perhaps a similar ARM Cortex M+0 microprocessor can be used, but unless the footprint is identical, the controller's internal design needs to be adjusted.
As was pointed out earlier, we are using a Paspberry Pi Pico microcontroller, which has micro-USB connector. Some people in our community have instead opted to use a Pico clone with USB-C. So, join our DIscord and check it out yourself: discord.gg/GdJgt6sv
So far there are no concrete plans to do so. Moving from DIY kits to consumer electronics brings significant additional challenges, such as certification, warranty, etc.
If I understand correctly this is using digital triggers right? That should make it unsuitable for racing games where throttle and brake inputs have to be super precise. Would there be any way to hack using analogue (progressive input) triggers on to the controller? (That is, making a different trigger part compatible with the firmware?)
Yes, the current iteration is using digital triggers, which may be suboptimal for racing or flight simulators. There is certainly no simply "hack" (though I don't know exactly you had in mind). We are experimenting with dual and in the future perhaps also analog triggers, but at present our focus is on the wireless solution. So don't expect anything soon.
Good question, the thumbstick in this profile is configured in "radial" mode instead of "axial" (since its only using one axis), and it calculates the output depending on the distance from the center, no matter if the angle is off
