the ultimate gaming keyboard

It was my first smash tournament. I pulled up in a black hoodie, a few minutes early. Airpods in, hood up. My mask and hair covered my anxiety on my face. I checked the clock. 3 minutes to go. I sat there, heart pounding in anticipation for my first match. The clocked seemed to tick slower and slower. Could the time go any slower? After what felt like an eternity, it was time for my first match. After I sat down, I took my hood off and flipped my hair back. I grabbed my controller, and started to pull it out of my backpack. It took a good 5 seconds because it was so long. I was looking at the screen, but out of the corner of my eye I saw my opponent's eyes widen. I said the standard "good luck" and gave him a fist bump. I saw his hands shaking as his knuckles touched mine. We selected out characters. 3. 2. 1. GO. The match began. As we were fighting, I saw him constantly glancing at my controller. He was clearly overwhelmed by the obvious advantage my larger controller gave me. Needless to say, the match was a breeze. I chuckled to myself. I knew it all along. They simply could not handle the girth.
inspired by peachewire's build ( • Gamecube Keyboard Cont... ) a year ago, I knew I eventually had to get my hands on one of my own.
specs:
- keyboard: ascii keyboard controller
- switches: mx zilents
- plate: 3mm pla
- keycaps: pom jelly
- stabilizers: durock plate mount
gutted the original keyboard, and dropped in a custom handwired build in its place. I had to end up chopping part of the bottoms off some of the switches, because they were interfering with the controller's pcb. The plate is just epoxied into the top case.

Yeah someone uploads a video doing that and you just put at x5 speed and this keyboard sounds exactly like the video

[@pand4man742]

i am beyond impressed, that controller alone costs like 300-400 dollars. The fact that you managed to get one is even impressive. Then you made it an actual keyboard 🤯 insane

[@voodoolilium]

The fact that it's based on the gamecube controller, the pinnacle of game controller design

[@alanestrada809]

[@banatg]

bro it is a gamecube controller, used for fantasy star online back when you could play that online

[@voodoolilium]

@@banatg yeah, didn't realize it was an actual GameCube controller till I looked it up. crazy hate.

[@hcbs1986]

I thought it was N64 to be honest

[@pingerlol]

first i was impressed at the board. then i was impressed cause youre a god at smash

[@demilung]

Seeing something not just without numpad, but without arrow keys called a "gaming keyboard" really makes me think how PC gaming changed over the years. Just try playing Mechwarrior on this thing.

[@demilung]

@@binja_ I feel like that's gonna get hectic AF

[@demilung]

@@binja_ Cool. I usually have big tables and use numpad for work, but if I can't go home or it gets bombed I'll look at smaller keyboards with less prejudice

[@TommyWashow]

@@demilung the numpad loving crowd is shrinking but its only cause kids dont work

[@IAmYusis]

this is a literal gamecube keyboard controller

[@Brain_pocketer]

@@TommyWashow no, it's mostly because it's not widely supported

Absolutely based.

it sounds so weird for a mechanical keyboard and thats why i love it

[@ohimg1809]

This truly is one of the keyboards of the month.

[@arch_caff]

Not only did you find a GameCube controller as obscure as this, but also customise the keys. Now all you need to do it customise the face buttons.

[@mowgli6345]

Sick forward smash.
