I made another leverless controller for Street Fighter
I really like Street Fighter and I like making things.....so both interests have combined and my wife thinks I've got a problrm: https://i.imgur.com/OvFO47j.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/cSUfHDl.jpeg
Just don't ask me my ladder rank.
So I took inspiration from Daigo. I figure more buttons = more ladder points

Cool design. I'm wondering about directional buttons vs joystick - is this for competition?
This is more ergonomic and precise compared to a stick. It's completely down to personal preference, but this layout is getting a lot more popular. Fight sticks have been popular because of oldschool arcade machines and historical inertia, but designs are branching out now (see "mixboxes", keyboard users and all sorts of custom layouts online).
The leverless design allows you to move faster as well, if you're holding back, you can also hold forward and then release back, meaning there's no travel time between moving the stick from back to forward.
So how in the world do you do Zangief’s atomic pile driver?!

You don't churn butter anymore. You slide/tap/piano.
I recently built a small hitbox style controller as well. Really fun to play on. Still bad at the game though lol. I am finding this a lot easier on my hands and wrists.
I've been looking into building my own leverless for Tekken, but I want to make sure it's PS5 compatible. What microcontroller did you use for this project? And thank you for the small boost in determination, I needed it.
I'm using a R.Pi with GP2040-CE firmware. It doesn't work with PS5, but I have a Brooke USB convertor (that's just for local events, I only have a PC at home). I used to have the Brooke convertor embedded inside the hitbox but that gave trou le with my Linux PC at home.
Let me know if you need help with the process. If you don't have woodworking g experience there's still a very easy way to make this yourself (with some tools).
I play on PC but was looking for PS5 compatability regardless... I eyed up the UFB-Fusion earlier...
As for the case, I have access to lasercut acrylic on my campus so I will try to design a stacked acrylic body (have experience from making keyboards). Still stuck between implementing arcade buttons with loose wiring or if I should make a "daughter"-board PCB with low profile mechanical switch contacts.
Are the 2 extra buttons for custom mapping or do they serve an intended purpose? What inputs do you recommend mapping the extra buttons on the left side to?
Whatever you want. I've got drive impact on left thumb. Middle white button is start and pinky white button is unassigned currently (but Daigo uses this for drive impact)
Really like the black/white theme. What material did you use to cover the wood?
The build album at the bottom of the post shows the construction process. It's a wooden box covered with stick-on vinyl wrap.
