    When your villain origin story is getting banned from a truck simulator mod because you forgot the macro to turn the headlights on.

  Pretty sweet. Original back shell, and battery cover?

    You can download an stl for the battery cover. I modified it to allow the backpack controller to attach to/detach from the main controller. The original is in a box somewhere safe and well.

      The hackability and first-party endorsement thereof was another big underappreciated feature of the Steam Controller.

  I assume you’ve been mass reported in whatever game you made this for

    I actually made it because I got banned because I couldn’t use my lights in euro truck simulator 2 multiplayer mod. I’m not sure I’d want to use it in any competitive games as it’d likely break off if I got mad.

  whole new buttons or just remap face button functions?

    It’s an extra 12 button Bluetooth controller using an esp32 dev board. So your games need to allow you to use multiple controllers. You could also program it to send keyboard keys but I haven’t tried it.

      That sounds super useful for simulator games.
