Hello all!

So, in WAN SHOW Luke and Linus really liked the opensource DIY controller for the steam deck!

Well... I also have one open source controller... for driving games, and it fits your backpack!

Check this out! I challenge you to build your own!

for suggestions i think the clutch should go on the top side of the controller (above the gas and brake) and same goes for the +- gear buttons (directly above steering wheel)

 

Then you can control them with your index fingers instead so you have uninterrupted control of the brake and gas and it should make techniques like heel toe much easier to pull off

 

I personally dont know why youd want a driving game controller in your backpack but its a cool idea nonetheless

yo its been a little while but while im testing games on my hardware i found out that my x230 despite only having 4gb of slow garbage single channel ddr3 can somehow just about run everything from crysis to portal 2 to even assetto corsa at half decent framerates and i expect that to get better when i put a proper 8gb config at ddr3 2600+

 

i guess i now know why youd want one of these controllers in your backpack now and maybe ill go try build something similar
