Fun colors render. If you are interested, I am planning out the steps to get 100 prototype units made. These will have injection molded buttons (already done), and will be fully wired controllers with nylon shells. Enable notifications to follow for when I post more deets

Slight shell revisions to help some issues with triggers. L and R are slightly pressed "in" more. Less travel feels a lot better. New trigger stops to make a solid press feel more solid. Metal gate is just for fun to try it out.

Next step-- I've ordered mechanical samples as 3d prints. This will help to verify the fit and design of the 3d components and the PCB shape before moving on to more complicated steps... PCB routing and injection molding.

🧵Here's a lesser known fact about GameCube controllers and why so many third party controllers feel AWFUL. The joystick uses 8 bit numbers for the analog sticks, one for each axis and one for each analog trigger. This means there is a possible range of 0-255;

SuperGamepad+ is sorta the next iteration of gamepad I've been wrapping up. It has full LED customization to make it exactly how you want. Has the feel of an OEM SNES gamepad with options for clicky or original triggers.

Any melee nerds know why this is a thing? This seems to happen with quite some regularity for me, where I hit a 9, then SD, then my next hammer is also a 9 lol. Feels extremely cheap, but it has worked for me several times now.

How about Pro Controller upgrades? There's some cool stuff about the analog sticks that haven't been discussed. How about pressure sensitive edges? Imagine you are full tilt, but you can press *harder* to get more movement!

Something I'm still not super confident in, the triggers wiggle a bit, but apparently original do as well. I'm not sure if the original design is even inherently good, or to what degree I should drive myself crazy trying to perfect something if it's just not going to get there.

Idea-- USB-C connector installs in place with screws and is held with pressure against some pogo pins. This allows for quick and cheap swapping of the USB-C port without any soldering or cables :)
