A 3D printable, open source laser cut compact universal controller. It's a mix between a mechanical keyboard and budget arcade fight stick, but forced into the constraints of economical parts and versatility. Unlike all the dedicated things it’s inspired by, it doesn’t do anything particularly well; but it's also 1/5th the cost, so you decide.

Thanks for working on these custom pads, I've found uses for a lot of your designs

@RetroBuiltGames Год назад

Glad you like them!

@Colin_Ames Год назад

Very creative, as are all of your projects.

@RetroBuiltGames Год назад

i appreciate that

Awesome man, thanks for the video 👏

You are welcome and thank you for watching it.

Nice video.

Thanks!

Damn... These look INSANELY economical. I'm deep in the rhythm game community, where you basically need a controller for every game. I might study up on this project and see if I can apply some of these principles to them!

@RetroBuiltGames Год назад

What the the top PC rhythm games?

@mistaecco Год назад

@@RetroBuiltGames Typically japanese arcade games, such as those from Konami. Yes, they still make games other than pachinko! I could see this as being a good candidate for games like Beatmania IIDX, sound voltex (often abbreviated SDVX), hand DDR or PIU, ez2dj, ongeki, pop'n music... The list goes on. Check out the rhythm cons wiki for some existing info on controller guides and the such.

Love it! Any chance that this could be updated in the future to work with GP2040? Similar to DaemonByte but uses a Pico and way more options in terms of system versatility (Switch, PS3, PS4, XInput compatibility out of the box). If this could work with GP2040, tons would flock to it. Heaps of FightStick DIYers currently use it for projects!

@RetroBuiltGames Год назад

Yes! RP2040 is on my list to make rev of this.

@chadzero Год назад

Awesome thank you!

This is so cool, I wish I had the knowledge to build one. I wish I could make one with reversed layout (arrow keys on the right) to match a keyboard. There is a product sold online that matches that need but it's 130$, I can't spend that much. And the most complex thing I've ever soldered is a gamecube analog stick. 😅

@RetroBuiltGames 11 месяцев назад

if you can do the gamecube stick, i think you can do this. The LEDs might be a challenge, but if you bork that, the controller will still work (just no RGB).

@milt3k Год назад

That's creative! I'm thinking about ordering modular plates to modify 8bitdo for Xbox Controller (since there are barely any stickless controllers for Series X out there and there are no cheap alternatives to PCB beside brook). But man, shipment price to EU is killer :P

@RetroBuiltGames Год назад

the gerber files are open, you can get a PCB made+shipped in your area.

@JeremyCook Год назад

Very clever - enjoyed talking yesterday! Ever use button head hex screws on these?

@RetroBuiltGames Год назад

likewise! yes, @11:09 this build uses #4-40 [low profile] hex button head screws for the PCB.

@usafa1987 Год назад

Few things beat watching Ryan solder while listening to elevator music!

@RetroBuiltGames Год назад

lol i know a lie when i read it

@Hugocraft Год назад

I ordered the plates from tindie and some Cherry MX Silent Red Black Switches with PCB mounts then I'll 3d print my own key caps. Which resistors are needed?

@RetroBuiltGames Год назад

1206 220-330ohm resistor for the Addressable LED data line. added these details to the git

@RetroBuiltGames Год назад

I'll put the resistor in your tindie order

@TheVoidofNothing11 11 месяцев назад

Been looking for something just like this, and the options are limited. Really want to make one, but my soldering skills are very rusty been years since I have, and I was never that great. I'd love to get good enough once I get a work bench again. Do you still sell the case?

@RetroBuiltGames 11 месяцев назад

I don't sell the case, but i released the 3D print files. You can get it printed by anyone that offers 3D printing services.

@TheVoidofNothing11 11 месяцев назад

@@RetroBuiltGames Thanks for the response. Iike the build a lot. The set up looks comfy.

@goodjob218 2 месяца назад

would they work if i don't add rgb LED's?

@RetroBuiltGames 2 месяца назад

yes. RGB LEDS are a separate circuit/ section of code

@wintersheet Год назад

I see that you sell the pcbs, would you consider selling also the parts for the enclosure?? or is there a place where I can order every part to make the enclosure??? I've been wanting to make a rythm game controller for the nintendo switch to play taiko no tatsujin, muse dash and other rythm games without spending 150 plus shipping for a gamok28

@RetroBuiltGames Год назад

I've always considered it, but that's where it ends also. I want to commit time to developing projects, not the resale of key switches. Follow the description links, there are links for the parts.
