I’ve really liked hitbox controllers for Street Fighter 6. I’ve been really happy with how they’ve turned out and they’re a joy to use. If there’s interest I can post the build process/instructions/guide.
Also would be good to grow the community if you’re interested: !arcadesticks@lemmy.world
neat, i thought about eventually building my owm hitbox or mixbox style controler.
what kind of controller circuit board
do you use for these custom controlers?
and how did you set up the multiple usb ports, it kinda looks lik the brace of a pci card?
I used a
. This one has pins pre-soldered and a wiring harness included to make things easy. It works with 
. This site also mentions other boards you can use.
I’ve started going to local events now so I’ve got a Brook Wingman FGC stick to use with PS5 and I might just embed that inside the hitbox now.
thanks, that’s a lot simpler and more affodable than i expected.
why is that FGC stick thing needed for the events?
it just looks like usb on both sides.
is that board actually incompatible with ps5,
is it because the usb hub,
or is it because some tournament rule (like socd cleaning or something)
The USB stick takes input from any controller and makes it compatible with PS5. Yes that Raspberry Pi board is not compatible with PS5. I play exclusively on PC so it didn’t matter to me initially, but now that I go to local events where they play on PS4 and PS5 I do need the compatability. I haven’t tried the hub controller with the Playstation but that shouldn’t make a different really. SOCD cleaning is on the Raspberry Pi chip and can be changed to your liking. It can be altered to fit the tournament rules.
It gets even cheaper. You can get a R Pi nano for £4 or so if you’re willing to do some soldering.
I’ll make a detailed guide to show their whole process, there seems to be interest for that.
This picture should make it clearer. One controller has multiple USB ports because there’s a USB hub embedded inside it.
