I Built the FUTURE of KEYBOARDS?! Joystick Mechanical Keypad

- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Hi guys...im back :)
This Joystick Keypad gives you all the benefits of a controller's analog stick over the horrible WASD on keyboard! Plus we placed all the keys in easy to reach areas...basically eliminating the need to spend days upon months trying to master the muscle memory required when using a keyboard. This keypad is more like using a controller over a complicated keyboard. We basically combined everything we liked from all of our other custom gaming peripherals and made the ultimate device.
Oh ya, and one last thing...keyboards are meant for typing...not gaming.
Love uuuu botsss
im giving this away to one of you mofos....call it a "im sorry" present for being away so long...leave a comment if you're interested!
I’m literally at skl rn this noti is the best thing that happened today
I really want this cool looking thing it looks so good
Still waiting for that console killer v3 video bro and btw you should sell these controllers
I'm super interested, I definitely need to try it
Honestly I’d like to check it out, I’m glad someone made a better design and it seems pretty ergonomic
Have you heard of Azeron? Because your invention is practically the same. Not saying you copied them, but I thought it would be a good reference for improving your peripheral.
Lol he think hes just invented a New thing
He stole it clearly
Azeron doesn't have real 360 controller movement its has normal WASD inputs with a joystick slapped on top of it
@@run_down_mid8480 has it
@@run_down_mid8480 Wrong. I imagine you probably saw the specs and got that from the basic 5-way stick. The Azeron has 2 sticks, a 5-way and a true 360 stick.
This product should have been made years ago. Really awesome stuff. I have a razer Tartarus and the thumb button placement has less thought put in then your prototype. I don't have the technical know how to make my own. But I hope this design catches on.
Please release the details to build it and the materials, and where to get them. Im a 20+ year old coming from console gaming and want to switch to PC. It would be extremely appreciated. Tech Yesterday, this video is what I've been waiting for and hopefully to many too 🙌hopefully see the guide soon.
6 months later and still no video nor files published :-( Hopefully he didn't run into any legal issues... or maybe he wants to keep it proprietary? (Honestly I wouldn't even be mad, the amount of work and skill that went in to this). That said, I'm getting a 3D printer soon and learning 3D modeling to see if I can recreate this based off the photos. I already know how to solder to a controller circuit board. It's interesting that he wired to a PS3 controller instead of using a Teensy (essentially a usb keyboard adapter) and when I think about it, I believe maybe it's because certain games actually give you multiple functions PER KEY on a controller, but on a keyboard they MUST be different keys. i.g. Apex Legends: Hold Triangle = Holster. Tap Triangle = Change Weapon. Or Destiny, Hold Triangle = Uber Weapon, Tap Triangle = Switch weapon. However when using a Keyboard, you have have to use two separate keys instead of Tap and Hold being separate functions. And thanks to the wonders of Steam Input, we can actually use a Gamepad to do whatever we want on Single Tap, Double Tap, Hold, Chorded Press, etc. The possibilities are endless!!!
Duuuuuuuuude I’m gonna learn 3D design for this shit! So inspired!!!
I'd be curious to see a version that uses the mouse controller's mouse instead of the joystick, for the same reasons the mouse controller was conceptualized for; similarly, the circle trackpads from the Steam Controller and Vive controllers, not only do you get 2-axis analog but they also have an extended range of functionality due to them being trackpads and Steam's Input API. The only thing these kinds of keypads are really missing are analog implementations for triggers; I don't think even the newer optical switch pads (Razer Tartarus Pro, though that has an 8-way dpad instead of a joystick) have full analog control via their proprietary software, as far as I understand all of them are the half pull - full pull kind of setup, not a true analog range. It'd be nice to have a fully analog 'key' to replicate what a trigger does; bonus points if it has a full-pull switch under it, IIRC the GameCube controllers used to do this, and I believe there's some third party controllers that also have the full-pull switch. An easily accessible scroll wheel would be nice as well, or a pointing stick, just for additional functionality; though at this point you'd need to upgrade from a donor controller to an actual microcontroller, as the donor isn't going to have the additional analog resources.
Honestly, I just want more functionality than I know what to do with, where really only simulators will challenge the available inputs.
@Tech Yesterday which 3d printer are you using and what software to create the parts?
Is it running on pc with the mouse in your right hand?
Wanna buy it. Make a kickstarter?!
Im not trying to hate but this just looks like a low budget azeron
It already exists
I'ts an azeron keypas
You just made a fake azeron 😂
XD a cheap Azeron
you are so cruel give the dude some credit lol
Dang, I actually came up with a concept similar to this but it used the entire base as the joystick. Obviously I never tried making it but I’m glad to see someone made a better version
This is just Azeron keypad with less keys...
lol
Im not gonna sugar coat anything here you clearly stole azerons idea.. So the least you can do id give them there credit!! You 100% did not come up with this!!! The nerve of this guy!!
to be honest i'm thinking he is just trying to get his subscriber count up with all of his hack ideas but hey why not right?
Reminds me of the Azeron Cyborg - I LOVE your other hand held controller concept. I could see it really taking off, if you could make the thumb circle captured so that the pad wouldn't fall out. Could even make the capture ring replaceable and customizable, with different colors able to snap in.
I liked previous project more, lots of peoples prefer controller because it doesn’t required a desk to play
Totally agree! But this is still very cool, it just wouldn't be my ideal way to play, cause as you said, you still need to be sitting at a desk.
We've missed you man! I took a look back at your channel just last week to rewatch the pc builds and was wondering where you had been! Great to see your back with another banger :)
Me too i watch the 2019 uploads
I'm just here thinking that maybe this could be a great controller for people who don't have a hand, movement with the keys and the camera with the stick
Maybe not for Fortnite but i think some games with a slower pace could work very well
Also, this looks extremely professional, the 3D printing is amazing, compared to how the projects started, this looks great.
Absolutely love the design.
In V2, I'd really like to see those F1 keys tilted down the way at a 45 degree angle instead of the way they are, so you can just flick up to hit those keys instead of having to come up all the way to press.
I just answered this to another comment and then read yours. yeah i also think thats a great idea
The way that you're designing this while considering our natural hand/finger movement is a major concept that the mainstream products are overlooking. I'd love to buy one of these.
Umm, you can. Azeron or Razer Tartorus.
Yeah what @Masterpaintingnowlearn2draw said.
I was literally thinking about this yesterday (pun not intended lol) like a azeron keypad with actual keys, i would love to have one of these!
This looks absolutely amazing. Cant wait to see the step by step guide
So with the launch of the Steam Deck, iFixIt has come out with a replacement Analog Stick. How simple would it be to use that instead of a whole ass PS2 controller?
I like it its a lot like the Azeron keypad there's is just for a wired connection to PC is this one compatible with Xbox/PS Wirelessly
Let's go he is back! This looks very nice, is this the future of your controller-mouse project or is this a separated project and you might still continue to upgrade the controller-mouse again?
I would assume this would be another project since this really wouldn’t put controller players on a more even playing field than M&K (with aiming still being done with a stick). Still a cool project though
It's so frustrating that there's not a product like this to buy, which ever company gets their shit together and puts this on the market first will make a fortune!
lol true
Azeron keyboard ,yourelive in the past
Azeron Keypad, it’s been on the market for nearly 4 years.
I've seen a similar thing to this. Think it's called the Azeron keypad.
Liking yours more, seems easier to learn.
Razer has one as well
@@harrysacket
No, that's a different thing...
@@harrysacket yeah i have it but can't get use to mkb. it's' the tatarus pro.
It's like an Azeron game pad with key switches. I like the idea of being able to use my Azeron with custom keycaps.
yeah the layout looked familiar and now i see where it came from.
You be surprise how easy you can mod it
image stealing someone elses idea and pretending you have invented this on your own. pathetic
Ahh yes, a homemade Azeron keypad! Don't forget to tell where you get the inspriration from!
Of course, and the Azeron is not a fucking copy of the 1995 datahand keyboard, is it?
information that the factory of letionia seeks to supirm by all means to give merit to its plagiarism.

first get well informed, champion
you do realize the azeron isn't original? The design style was based off an old ergo keyboard.
kinda looks like you just copied the azeron keypad
kinda looks like u get no girls
Dam
You should check out Azeron Keyboard
Search Azeron keypads if you’re interested in purchasing something like this. They have multiple versions of 3D printed joystick keyboards. I’ve used their original version for a while and can attest to the quality. Takes some getting used to but worth it if that’s what you’re looking for.
This man is simply amazing the work he's done. The design here is genus. Can't wait to get my hands on this to try to make it. My 3d printer is willing & ready :)
You copied the Azeron Cyborg quite a bit here. I prefer their switches as they are mouse switches which are more responsive than keys.
Have you stopped working on the controller with a thumb mouse ? And when is the next video with the open source files coming
So um a company called Azeron has already created this and they are amazing. give them a look, they need to grow.
i think ive seen kinda similar things but this looks amazing, and what happened to the controller?
Presumably realized that this is literally what Azeron builds and they've already done it for like two years at least
How does this avoid issues where certain games can only accept M+K or Gamepad input at once, and if the later mode is enabled, it can't read key inputs; and if the former mode is enabled, it can't read analog stick inputs? I've owned the Logitech G13 and the Hori Tacpro/Asssault Commander pro, which are similar devices, and that's the issue I usually run into with those.
The Azeron gets around this by simulating the analog stick as WASD directly, rather than full analog (but has options for both in the software). Made my life much better with Warzone and Doom Eternal! Having one with mechanical keys would be incredible, though
i resonate with this guy . controllers deserve better aiming capabilities
Excitedly waiting for the assembly video.. Wanna replicate and see what improvements can be made upon it further.
How Sony & Microsoft & Nintendo haven't snatched this guy up is insane. He's literally doing what all those companies combined can't even figure out how to do.
why would they he has not produced a stand alone product yet. all his inventions is based off of relocation of parts from mice and keboards into his own physical contraptions. great hacks but nothing that he has done that you nor i or anyone else can't do if your a hacker.
You do know about Azeron keypads, right? This seems like the prototype of what they're doing...
The cost difference and reliability seperate these 2 concepts quite a bit. Azerons are 200 ish with iffy reliability while this costs 30 and is as reliable as you want to make it🤷♂️
@@swifdy6855 I've been using my azeron daily for over a year and it doesnt have any issues
@@botsim1715 i don't have the azeron but was going to say what to Botsim. it's iffy reliability. interesting.
The hands need to rotate so that the palms look downwards, that is painful for me
Amazing. Really next level design. I'm totally sold. Where/when can we look for these plans? I'm ready to build!
I wish you the most success, you had a problem and tried to solve it, and went out of your way to learn what ever process it took to resolve it. Love what you do, and keep at it. I see fortune in your favor
Ok but like the azeron is mechanical. and the switches are lighter and quicker
wait, there's something like this on the market already isn't there? i remember seeing one company 3d printing a product almost identical
VCuda did a review on it, supposedly breaks easily.
Please man still drop the controller version
Great idea and perfecting a concept. I still want mouse controller tho!
Hey where can I find the downloads for the print files?
where do I get one of these? lol I don't want the Azeron
I used to use a Razer Orbweaver all the time. There are some differences between this and an orbweaver, mainly the joystick is an ACTUAL joystick. Freeing your fingers so that your thumb does ALL the movement is really a game changer. The only downside is reteaching yourself to jump with another key. You cannot use your thumb to jump in some games with this configuration, due to mechanics like hold space to jump higher while being able to press a directional key to change directions while midair.
Anyways, Im excited to see your v2. I have been following all of your controller builds since the first one and love all of them. Keep it up!
I want to make this!!! Where can I get the 3d models?
Landed on this video because I am looking for something better to play than a keyboard, but I must say I never realized it was hard to play on a keyboard. Always been a PC gamer and I only need something better for MMORPG, too many buttons in those. And I came to the exact same conclusion as you, why the fuck should I allocate three fingers to movement?!
There are a few keypad with joystick that exists, but honestly yours a few nice ideas.
EDIT: just found out about Azeron Cyborg Gaming Keypad, looks sick.
yeah the Azeron looks cool but it is expensive and looks like it has more of a learning curve being quite removed from a keyboard. This ortho-linear keyboard + joystick combo looks to be the best of both worlds, not being that much different than a keyboard (but better where it counts) so it's more familiar.
Good Job. Look up the Azeron Cyborg $200
That keypad joystick is awesome keep up the good work
it looks like it was inspired by the azeron
Please, for all that is sacred, tell us how...
The thumbnail looked like an azeron
azeron keypad looks very similar
Still more interested in mouse controller
Literally an azeron lol
The azeron already exists brother lol but I like the implementation of your game pad more :)
wow lol. he made it better in all ways though
Any updates to this? Great idea here.
finally..hes back..with even cooler stuff!!
this is what i wanted with my razer but this is way better
You DIYed an Azeron Cyborg keypad. Cool.
very very good work brother. where can find the files for this version?
I waiting like 4 months for the answer ahahah
This should have more views! Awesome!!
Love the content, thank you.
I suppose you got inspired by the mighty Azeron micro? They just released the Cyborg, same concept, but with 20 buttons and a d-stick
lol😀
@@Keltzzzz ?
I'm a lifelong PC gamer, but I'm tired of WASD not having pressure sensitivity. Not being able to go from a veeery slow walk to a run like you can with a joystick. I've been looking at the Azeron Cyborg, but it's over $200, it's stupidly expensive.
If you haven’t already thought of this you might be able to make the thumb stick press down as another key and use an xbox elite 2 thumbstick to add a KontrolFreek and adjust tension.
Great idea ! I love what you did with the joystick and the fact that you used keyboard keys :) I would by one if you sell it 😁
Your invention reminds me of the Azeron Gaming Keyboard in its design, but I still think that your keypad is amazing!
You should try an Azeron. It’s almost the same thing
I’ve used an Azeron for over a year and I love it ❤
I really like this design.
u can build ur own xbox controller electronics with an arduino and XInput library (see my channel for an example - maybe the way i turned a digital hat switch into 2 analog triggers is of interest) if u dont want to hack up an xbox pcb or use 2 arduinos and a small hub in the same shell and make one of them emulate a keyboard/mouse - of all the mainstream gamepads, i like my 3x 15yr okd belkin n52 nostromo's the best (2 later revisions werent as good) in combination with a Mionix Avior 8200 9-button programmable mouse - your looks a litttle like an Azeron, but with a more robust construction - which is important as the fall off desks, and get trodden on by cats
Man never fails to impress
please release the model
Can I please get the STL files for this? I’ll pay for them. I know u said you are gonna do a new version but I would be so happy to be able to build one of these for myself. PLEASE 🙏🏾
Ripped off Azeron.
I designed something like this but i always ran into the issue of the thumb space bar making you stop moving since you release the stick. Did you just bind jump somewhere else?
ya just rebind to another key..
Let’s go the 🐐 is back🔥
Azeron
My man with his crazy inventions.
So I was thinking about something similar to this but with a right hand counterpart, with the mouse built in. The reason being doing a 180 turn with a mouse is terrible, but really easy on controller. So potentially you could use a thumbstick for fast/large movements and then slide it like a mouse when your aiming for precision movements. It'd interesting to see how the two perform together.
This is an azeron!
I have a AZERON but I like your design better where can I buy it?
I've seen more of these diys for these gamepads, but the makers of azeron are coming out with the master version...it has all the buttons at an more vertical angle allowing better ergonomics with the analog stick more vertical as well so when you press left on the analog your actually pushing left rather then upwards..if you kno what I mean. I have my Tartarus V2 set at such an angle my my side in my chair, I try to keep it at a height that my shoulders are leveled as well...ergonomics is so important to long term gaming.
azeron master? do you have a link to this device? curious
@@techyesterday4960Here you are ua-cam.com/video/MeuA1Uu5Qug/v-deo.html
@@techyesterday4960 I had left a comment in this video three months ago near it's upload, mentioning the idea of this concept, they released that video a month later..
A one armed pc gamer here. So I wanted to make a clone of your mouse ever since but asus just stole your idea with the rog chakram. So I bought one and was finally able to play some 3d shooters after 10 years-nice. But there is not enough buttons for more complex games. Would you be kind enough to please share the 3d models for this joyboard? I desp. need this...
please take my money.... - I NEED THIS!!! - currently using Azeron gaming keypad...would love to try this!!!
Keyboard+mouse is superior to controllers in every way... except for the keyboard, because analog stick is SO MUCH BETTER for movement
The current products on the market either use a d-pad instead of an analog stick, which only allows 8 directions of movement and no magnitude control (Razer) OR cost like 500$ which I'm not going to pay (Azeron) because it is literally cheaper to buy a 3d printer, and steal someone else's design
Do you fine you self's hand getting fatigue from the finger buttons ?
Great job. I want to do the similar thing. But I want it to have a laser pointer. 2:30 I have not came up with a great solution yet.
Quite excited to see even just the 3D files for this as I've been seriously thinking about building one myself but didn't want to be bothered with the ergonomic measurements. Though instead of using a hacked up controller it'd be nice to see this done with a custom pcb and micro controller/arduino/esp32 to make it something we can write drivers for to tweak and adjust things like deadzone, etc. Combine this with HE analog and maybe HE switches and you could do some seriously cool things with gaming peripherals.
I’m interested with stl
Kar pool tunnel from a keyboard 1982 to 2023 not yet 🙂 And no I have had RSI from work. But although there are times I pound my keyboard in frustration and mildly upsetting things it isn't the same as repairing hardwood pallets with a hammer and nails, day in day out.
I rest my body on the heel of my hand. So my fingers are sort of floating over the keyboard. It was your reference that made me conscious of it.
I can and have done 12 to 14 hour stints playing the likes of Witcher 3 HZD Skyrim hell even Hogwarts Leg. I tend to crawl into them. Surface for food and coffee.
Hope you’re doing well tech yesterday can’t wait to see what you have planned in the future. Im a long time viewer and if there’s someway I can support you I’d love to!
the logitech g13 has been around since at least 2009 but really, for most games a sony nav is enough. get an mmo mouse or a usb pedal for switching layers and you'll have enough buttons for any game.
however it's far from ideal in plenty of games (even when supported), and a keyboard is still superior in anything first person/2d
Ik one dude alr said this but this is 100% an Azeron
Edit: It might actually be better than an Azeron
Man, patent that. You have a billion dollar product. Think of every gamer who buys COD. Now imagine selling one of these to just 50% of those buyers.
ME ME ME GIVE ME THAT CREATION OF GOD ILL PAY YOU in euros
didn't thougt in having a spanish subscriber did ya?
