Alpakka controller: Returnal gameplay

[@PixeIologist]

Very cool! I'm using a dualsense edge with always on gyro Triangle to ratchet. Layout inspirted by the aplakka's capacitive pad. I also use flickstick but if I had an alpakka I could live without it (I map triangle to double tap, and also use it as a button chord modifier. This doubles the amount of actions I can have. For example right back button is dash in DOOM and ultrakill, but if I hold triangle it becomes melee attack. I can map the other buttons to whatever is needed, like specific weapons in doom)

[@tea_with-mint]

finally a new gameplay pls give us more competitive games

[@Adam-pk7go]

Yes, I’d love to see this in a multiplayer shooter

[@justin-hurd]

Is there any mods made for the trackpoint being swapped for a trackpad like on a steamdeck/ controller?

[@inputlabs]

No, the touch sensitive surface in the Alpakka is only ON/OFF

[@sorisderbson]

I dreamed about having gyro in this game

[@isaiahbriggs2093]

could you do a design with ir tracking like the wii mote or will the ninjas get you also another idea is a split design left could be movement and right could switch with a mouse trackpad joystick

[@audie-cashstack-uk4881]

Wii remote style gyro is by far the best gyro mose in existence no screen grab required no two hands around one controller just fre natural real world camera and aim from a boundary box and a aim + THE greatest way to play joycons failed big time with this and I am pissed about it I do controller fyro but nothing comes close to analog stick in left hand and 3d mouse in right hand NO DEBait plain facts

[@anon_y_mousse]

That game looks intense. The cut-out overlay showing your hand movements and button presses as the action plays out is great. Do you find that using a gyro makes it easier and/or faster to control versus using two analog sticks? Also, does RetroArch pick it up and allow you to configure it?

[@inputlabs]

Yes, gyro aiming performs much better than thumbstick aiming, and this controller was made from the ground up for gyro like any other. Yes, retroarch is compatible with xinput controllers so the Alpakka works fine with the "Console legacy" profile.

[@benchristensen1526]

Super cool to see the shooters. Can we see an RTS game?

[@inputlabs]

While is possible to play RTS games with the current profiles, we won't make RTS-specific videos until the RTS profile is implemented. Thanks!

For the love of God just sell me one 😂.. I can't find anyone to mske it 😭

Literally lmfao

@inputlabs any plans to one day sell pre-assembled units?

Where can I order!? 😀

[@4EVER_KlNG]

His controller looks insane, can you do a 180 though?

[@inputlabs]

Yes, with that sensitivity (1:4) is just moving the controller 45 degrees. There are some 180s in this video, and also in the other videos.

[@4EVER_KlNG]

@@inputlabs awesome, definitely going to get one of these and see how good they are.

[@melrexmelrex]

I want one. Do this work on console

[@inputlabs]

For now it only works on console games that support mouse and keyboard.

[@melrexmelrex]

@@inputlabs will it work on consoles if you use a xim Apex or xim matrix adapter. How do this compare to the xim nexus gyro controller

[@Tommy-the-coffee-addict]

@@melrexmelrex you could probably get it to work, but it would be clunky to configure. and the gyro is better than a nexus by a long shot, especially in games the use "mouse input" for aiming, but in games without support for mouse, the difference is probably more minor.

[@OQO00]

I wish y'all would just take my money lol. Your selling kits you need to solder yourself, no way any more than. 0.1% of the community is going to do that. Please just let us buy the whole unit pre-built. Upcharge me 100% of the price idc lol

[@melrexmelrex]

Your right, I want to buy one too

[@inputlabs]

It's not quite that simple. It them becomes a piece of consumer electronics, requiring all kinds of certification, warranties, etc. We are not quite there yet, but wanted to give people access already and gather feedback.

[@caleasthetic]

i am not able to solder and i am not very handy at doing any builds from any kit whatsoever. but i bought the already soldered board and just the 3d printed parts and i managed to do just fine. The only problem i had was fittng the back buttons. but other then that it took me 1 hour in totalt with having to rescrew certain bits a few times. So if i can do it. then pretty much anyone can lol

[@OQO00]

@caleasthetic I think the bigger hurdle is getting everything 3D printed honestly. How did you manage to get around that?

[@caleasthetic]

@@OQO00 they offer all of the parts printed. you can choose different colors. the controller plus shipping cost me around 170 euro's. a bit expensive but it was worht it. the 3d printed controller is not the best build quality around. but the gyro is the best i ever used

[@Alpha-kt4yl]

If only this has dual sticks, then I would grab it in a heartbeat

[@inputlabs]

What we wanted to establish with this controller is that the second thumbstick is redundant when having a very accurate gyro solution

[@ssserotonin1373]

@@inputlabs I think this is a genius take and you should not back away from it. Forcing people to use what is actual next gen use cases of input... Very clever in design, dont stray.

[@HollowRick]

​@@ssserotonin1373 agreed right stick is terrible for aiming so sluggish feeling compared to Gyro and mouse aim
