Wow, this is truly incredibly. I don't need a controller, but I might just make this one because it's just too awesome!

This is an amazing project. The attention to the design is what drew me in. Assembly from sourcing to soldering to printing doesn't look like a high barrier to entry, and I like how straightforward you've laid out the steps here. Really looking forward to diving into the rabbit hole and making my own.

This project is looking amazing. I can’t wait to see community contributions

It resembles the lovely design of the shield controller.

This is so incredibly cool. Fantastic work.

Guys, you're just the best! Better than that gamepad in life not saw. It's just a little head off! So keep it, and good luck!

Excellent design!

This is an outstanding project!

Very nice looking controller 🙂

This is totally dope, why haven't I heard of this yet?

This is dope! Thanks for the video and the sexy solder joints :D

very nice, have to try it

I like it and thought about building one till i heard that it needs conducive filament, that stuff is freaky expensive and would take the cost to over 100€ really fast

This is simply awesome! Kiitos!

I have so many controllers(Pretty much everything from 8bitdo, two dualsenses, a few dualshock 4s, two steam controllers, etc..), but I love Gyro so much, I am going to be building one of these soon, hopefully this month, next at the latest.

And on the basis of this can be done very cool machine for shooters.

It would be interesting if the community designed PCBs compatible with common controls, for example PS2, so it would only be enough to change the control PCB and we would save the step of 3D printing. I have that idea but I don't know anything about circuit design.

Quick question: how complicated is it to modify the layout of the controller? For example, changing the scroll wheel for a second stick, or adding more buttons for a six-button controller layout?

Great!! Do you intend on making dual analog joystick one?

I want to be the first one trying that!

Nice!

I am in love with these hairy hands)

Some questions and stuff: 1. How much it costs? 2. Are the rear triggers analog? 3. Can a Genesis/Saturn-like 6 button layout be made without sacrificing other buttons like start and select? 4. Can you change the layout of buttons, like the Xbox's D-pad/stick placement or a lefty layout. 5. I would like to see an option for a Genesis-style D-pad, I prefer this than the Playstation D-pad. 6. Seeing a mouse wheel reminds me of those 2000s PC controllers (which I never had one) with wheels and strange designs, it would be cool to have a shift button.

​ @Input Labs I plan to start printing my shell in the next few days and then I will order some electronics. knowing that haptic feedback is in the roadmap is exciting for future iterations. my other question would be if the triggers will continue to be momentary switches or if they might be analog triggers in future plans? if I end up playing racing games with the alpakka controller, variable brake and throttle would be nice for sure. I'm excited to start this journey and hopefully I can provide some feedback when I complete it.

Looks awesome! a very polished PCB & case design! And having an rpi allows for a lot of customizationg on the software side, congrats! btw, are you guys from Argentina? i wonder bc the naming of the controllers (alpaca & capybara)

So excited. I've had this idea for years, but didn't have all the coding skills to put it together. So glad it's open source too. Seriously, this is a dream come true. Question 1: think it's possible to make custom boards that fit in older console controllers rather than a 3d printed shell? Question 2: I've seen people mix graphite powder with silicon to make a conductive. Could probably make button pads with 3d printed molds as an alternative to the "clicky" style buttons. Think this could be possible? Question 3: I saw you are working on a 1 handed controller. Think alternative models for say a hotas, arcade stick, or a driving setup are possible?

Awesome project! Love it so much! Which tin solder do you use? And how hot is your soldering iron? Mine is horrible?!

Looks amazing! Makes me want to buy a 3D printer. Is it possible to add a vibration motors in it?

Are those dual stage triggers with analog function or just plain old ones?

Dear God where is the right thumbstick?!? How will you make horizontal camera movements???...

I really like this product, but how can I replace the conductive printed part?

how awesome 😍 defenitly print one, but i dont know how to order pcb's

Would love to see someway to scan my hands and programmatically generate a new controller body. I have big hands and I cannot lie.

I forgot to have the S1-S14 buttons soldered so I'll have to do it myself :( Where can I get those?

Why are the front buttons at 2:45 look different? Do they have some sort of covers?

Is it possible to replace the filament with something cheaper? something like a touch button, for example

would it be possible to just add another joystick instead of the scroll wheel and directional stick?

Как играть в шутеры? Где сенс панели, как у Стим контроллера? Мультиплатформ будет?

Which gyroscope sensors you guys using????

Hey man, does you sell it internationally?

Porque no usaron el ESP32?

Have it a giro scope?

Where to get the pcb?

wie nennt sich das schwarze filament?

does this support linux.

I would love to pay you to build this for me, I don't have any tools and I'm really not tech savy

Hello guys, i just got my alpakka controller today, just finished building it, but the problem is that analog stick is not registering inputs in game and feels sratchy, often gets stuck when holding on max angle, what should i do? I tried reaching out trough the discord, but invitation link doesnt work anymore.
