[DIY Leverless Controller] Build #2: Crafting a Multi-Platform Leverless Controller with Raspberry Pi Pico & Budget Parts (Part 1: Setup & Firmware Guide)
In the previous installment, "Part 5: Implementing the SOCD Circuit," Build #1 was successfully completed after a brutal, gritty battle—stacking two 74HC132 logic ICs in point-to-point free-air wiring within an ultra-cramped space just to keep it wireless using a recycled board. While we managed to achieve "neutral" on simultaneous left/right inputs via hardware logic, my […]
DIY Wireless Leverless Controller for Steam & Switch Using 100-Yen Shop Materials and Key Switches (Part 1: Introduction & Material Selection)
Hello! I finally built something I've wanted for a long time: a fully wireless, multi-platform leverless controller. In this article series,I will share the DIY journey of building the ideal wireless leverless controller from scratch—padhacking a broken Switch controller PCB suffering from stick drift, using 100-yen acrylic sheets, Tamiya plastic parts, and standard logic ICs—over […]
DIY SOCD Cleaner for Leverless Controllers: Designing a Circuit with Just Two 74HC132 Logic ICs
Please note that this is still purely theoretical and has not yet been physically tested.This article is a work in progress and subject to updates.The design assumes padhacking an existing Nintendo Switch controller. While that is the technical focus, the real highlight was the hilarious debate—almost an all-out argument—I had with Gemini. More on that […]
