Dual analog and two buttons is all you need right?

Made a modern macOS app so this old Intel Wireless Series gamepad works as a mouse again.

Did you know Intel made a controller? The Intel Wireless Series gamepad. Looks like a toilet seat. Plus it needs its base station and Win98-era software or it’s a paperweight. Added it to JoypadOS. USB in, normal USB pad out. Works pretty much anywhere now.

Use just a Pi Pico W and JoypadOS to turn a Wiimote into a universal controller. Or you can just purchase a preassembled JoypadOS BT2USB adapter from my website

I’m building a controller playground to test your controllers on the web. Tinker with advanced DualShock features like the LEDs and haptic triggers. Or drop into the mini arcade to test different aspects of a controller with basic gameplay. Someone please beat my high score!?!

I built a DualSense with actual personality. Shake it or throw it and it reacts in real time. It knows its name, what kind of controller it is, and battery level. It remembers what game we’re playing and gives actionable advice. What would you want your controller to say or do? 👇

Fisher-Price controller playing Mario Kart with gyro over Bluetooth. I mapped the Seeed XIAO nrf52840 Sense’s IMU roll angle to left stick or right stick when dpad is in left stick mode. Now I just need to get the top bumper buttons wired and mapped.
