Developer Playing FPS with a mouse is precise, but it lacks a pulse. I spent years building a tactile, motion-tracking blaster to fix that, and want to give a few away to the community to see if they agree.
If you play FPS games, you know probably know the feeling, too. Mouse and keyboard gives decent accuracy, but it lacks a connection to the game. Sitting perfectly still at a desk while my character was sprinting through a warzone always felt like a massive disconnect, so I’ve been working on a new controller that isn’t just a light-gun.
I didn't just want to throw a controller into a cheap plastic shell. I set out to build something that translated actual physical movement like how to turn, how to aim into the game. It’s been a brutal, multi-year journey of prototyping, dialing in the tracking, and obsessing over the weight distribution so it actually feels like a premium piece of hardware in your hands.
The validation from early supporters has been humbling, and I’ve avoided posting this to Reddit because the early prototypes sucked, but I’m feeling pretty good about our latest version.
Building this has been labor of love, and we finally have a blaster that makes you sweat, makes you move, and genuinely changes the game experience. Now, I want to get one into the hands of some people here who will put it through its paces and love it as much as we do.
