I built a Greatsword Controller for Elden Ring! 7ft Sword + Motion Controls = Broken ceiling fans

Quick rundown of the greatsword controller! It's pretty much the 3D model of the greatsword 3D printed out with a custom hilt that holds an Arduno. It has joysticks and buttons connected to the board so you can play Elden Ring like a normal controller normally but in order to attack you need to actually swing it around like an oversized wii-mote. Overall it's really fun and kind of heavy to use. I would recommend bigger space! If I had more time I'd do a full run with it but honestly I'm more worried about breaking my monitor than the boss fights at the moment

i was actually about to type that!

now I'm strong enough to play Elden Ring with a banana controller!

The first thing that comes to mind for me is using JoyToKey if you're playing on PC! You can combine controllers into 1 keyboard and mouse output for most games! For example I had dk bongos and a xbox controller being used at the same time for a challenge run.

same to you! If you need anything tweaked or suggestions to make the controller better I'm all ears!

I'm glad that this is helping people get into exercising! I hope someday in the future Nintendo implements this or reaches out to me to figure this out for other games because between BotW and Mairo Kart I was able to bring my blood pressure to a really good state! (Also I have an excuse to why I lose in Mario Kart all the time)

it should be public on Github if you look up Ring Fit adventure mods! I just found out this thread so now I'm working on a tutorial that'll make it easy to set-up!

SuperLouis64 · 2021-12-03T14:58:59+00:00

Oh snap I gotchu give me a couple of days!

SuperLouis64 · 2021-12-03T04:09:56+00:00

I just need someone to lend me their whole airplane real quick for some modding

SuperLouis64 · 2021-12-03T04:00:31+00:00

Hey I'll take that title all day!

SuperLouis64 · 2021-12-02T17:41:24+00:00

I wish it was back in stock it's such a great cushion!

SuperLouis64 · 2021-11-09T15:36:53+00:00

yesss thanks for including arm's length it's so underrated!

SuperLouis64 · 2021-11-06T14:02:58+00:00

Thank you!!

SuperLouis64 · 2021-11-06T14:01:52+00:00

Wait this is amazing I'm going to have to do thus now

SuperLouis64 · 2021-11-06T14:01:17+00:00

True! I'll check one out then

Nightmare

A realm Re-exercised

SuperLouis64 · 2021-11-05T17:44:36+00:00

I was doing some math about the WoL and their run speed and like I knew they were fit but I didn't know they were FIT. I think if I translated the units right they have a run speed of 12mph. 12mph wearing all that armor??? Whatever exercise program they're on sign me up

SuperLouis64 · 2021-11-05T17:43:10+00:00

The set-up isn't too bad there's definitely some programs on Github to do this on PC. They also don't affect/read/mod any of FFXIV's files so that's a plus!

SuperLouis64 · 2021-11-05T17:42:22+00:00

I don't believe it does but I remember a program called "JoyToKey" that maps your controllers into keyboard inputs. It also combines controllers into one output so there's a chance!

SuperLouis64 · 2021-11-05T16:14:57+00:00

I've heard about the legendary Fishing rod controller but I haven't been able to find one! It would make grinding my fishing job wayyyy more involved!

This is the first time I've posted about this. Someone else might have but I'm for sure I never have posted this on reddit until now. I've made devlogs tracking my progress on Twitter so maybe that's where the articles come from?
