10-key controller.

[Arch0wl]

Here's the deal.

I really want to play 10-key Stepmania. SM SSC can do it. It's possible.

Yet, keyboards suck for 10-key Stepmania -- so I need a custom controller.

I had discussed commissioning a controller with the desktoparcade guy, but something came up on his end and we couldn't go through with it.

So here's my promise: if you can find me someone that can make me a *good* 10-key controller for a price that isn't outrageous, I will paypal you $10. They have to follow-up though: you will get your payment after I get my controller. Otherwise you could just PM me some guy's IM and I'd pay you $10 for nothing.

$10 is not a lot, but it's a meal at a quality Thai restaurant. If you get me a guy I will buy you dinner, essentially.

So what is a good controller?

Two clicky backspace keys for the thumbs and the rest can be alphabet keys. They must be clicky, too -- I am really possessive about my clicky keys. Finally: I must be able to hold all 10 at once, and perform all kinds of hold variations. For this to "work", that is mandatory.

If you can make this controller, I will provide you with a hand-sizing chart so you can space the keys according to what's comfortable for me.

Re: 10-key controller.

When I think of 10k this comes to mind, though it doesn't fit your desired requests

There's also a 14k variation of it which might give some inspiration with weird button layouts

EDIT: A ghetto, realistic setup is dual-wielding keyboards but I don't think that's what you're looking for either

Re: 10-key controller.

are you demanding that we make a controller for you
like, you definitely cannot be responsible for making it, it has to be one of us

that image is borderline orgasmic -- how would one read a screen with that jumbled mess, though? D:

Re: 10-key controller.

I feel like a stenograph machine keyboard would actually be best, though the keys on them aren't clicky like the Das w/Cherry Blue switches; they're completely different.. Oh, and there's no possible way to find one for 10 bucks.. Wow, I am really not helping.

probably just a dj dao + ransai controller side by side

You are correct.

no,

I want to buy a custom controller.

This is me paying for the opportunity to buy one, because right now I don't know a person who can make me one.

In other words, I will pay you $10. I will pay the controller-maker whatever the controller costs. You get $10 for finding me a person.

Re: 10-key controller.

so you don't want to like
learn how to make one yourself
that would be a rather interesting experience and wouldn't involve dragging anyone else into a game that you don't intend anyone to be able to play other than yourself

Re: 10-key controller.

Look dude, I want a controller. This is a scenario where I care about the ends, not the means.

I own that controller lolololol


The desktop arcade guy kinda sucks. He took forever to finish that controller and he was terrible at replying to emails.

I did meet him at an anime convention,he is a nice guy. Just lazy

What kind of set up are you looking for the 10-key controller?
