Elden Ring not hard enough for you? How about spicing things up by ditching your Xbox controller and instead playing using a baby toy?
Dylan Beck, also known as Rudeism, a tinkerer and self-proclaimed "builder of bizarre controllers," has managed to turn a Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Game & Learn Controller into a fully operational Xbox controller. Proof? A video of him playing Elden Ring with said controller (via The Verge). Behold.
Originally a mock controller whose only utility is lighting up and making funny (by funny we mean annoying) sounds, the Fisher-Price has proven to be surprisingly capable in this role. So capable, in fact, that we don't doubt someone will soon post a video of winning the game with this thing.
The Verge has some details on how Beck has pulled this off. He put an Arduino Pro Micro clone, a two-axis joystick, and some microswitches inside the controller to get the thumbstick and all of the buttons to work. Due to limited space, Beck didn't manage to pack batteries inside, so the controller had to be plugged into a USB port for power.
Rudeism has done similar (and often even more impressive) stunts before. For example, check out a video of him beating Dark Souls 3 (for the uninitiated, it's a very, very hard game) by using just one button to punching in morse code. We are impressed.

Dude, what a good laptop gamer you must have to be able for run elden ring, which one is it?
ReplyDeleteLo que dijo mi compa x2
DeleteWould genuinely love to see the process for doing this. Don't care how complicated it might be XD
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing. Now all you have to do is play Ranked Rainbow Six
ReplyDeleteWith game chat on
DeleteThey’ll play. Just not amazingly and die instantly. They gotta make a shortcut to surrender though.
DeleteRivals of Aether is a game that natively supports almost any controller, so considering this is a hacked xbox controller it should work fine.
ReplyDeleteImma show up to a smash bros tournament with this
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see you try Scarlet Nexus with this. Dunno how well it'd work, give how much more action-heavy it is compared to Elden Ring, but it could be worth a try.
ReplyDeleteI wanna see you try any FPS game lok
ReplyDeletelol*
DeleteReminds me of this https://youtu.be/Gq7lv-kgoPw but man this controller I actually low key want😂
ReplyDeleteimagine you in the finals of a smash tourney and the other guy pulls out this shit and wins
ReplyDeleteDude you gotta play a Yakuza game with it. Like a Dragon should be alright as you don’t need to do too much with it in battle as it’s turn based. But imagine in a fight with majima and just hearing the song on the controller with the button sounds while doing combos
ReplyDeleteI'm so basically they've got a controller that works as a controller when you want to allow the kid to play but also functions as a toy to make them think they're playing when it's not plugged in. 🤣
ReplyDeleteAlso if you want them to play but not damage your expensive pro controllers 🤣
DeleteYo i would pay to get one of these babys made for my PS4 or since my buddies PS5 controller broke i wanna give it to him as a prank/gift you got me trying to go to target or walmart where they sell it to get one but i thought it was a legit controller not a baby toy lol 😂😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteMy 2 year old has been playing with one of these since he was about 8 months old, as soon as I turned this video/tweet on this afternoon, he immediately recognized the controller and devoted all attention to the screen. Great work :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, my 13 month old snapped his head over the instant the controller was heard. I think he has had it for half his life.
DeleteI look forward to the inevitable speedrunner uploads turning the use of this controller into a challenge
ReplyDelete"Elden Ring any% Fisher Price Controller"
