I'm thinking about making a custom gamepad to better enjoy giant mecha-games on console, and I was wondering if anyone had ever done something similar?
I'm thinking of making essentially two big joysticks with triggers and a button on top each to replace shoulder-buttons, and then a hat-switch on each one for d-pad/face button controls, and possibly a button for "clicking" the stick in. I would GUESS this is basically just rewiring a controller to a new shell, but I'm not sure how hard that is or where to get parts for doing something.
How much am I simplifying this in my feeble brain?
What tools do I need?
Has anyone here done something similar?
What have I missed?
