My shiny new purple controller has arrived! I got it because purple is the color of my man & Los Iluminados. It even matches Osmund’s outfit with purple on top and black underneath! Gonna play Resident Evil 4 Remake in true Saddler style from now on! 💜🥰#PS5#Controller#LosIluminados#Gaming#ShareYourGames
Today the black cat brought me a brand new Nintendo Super Famicom wireless controller, sent by my secret agent in Hyōgo. I’ll be using it rather than the 8bitdo sn30 pro, which will now be dedicated to emulator duty.
Here it is next to a Nintendo Famicom/nes dogbone (wireless 8bitdo diy board equipped), & the revised controller that shipped with snes/Famicom jr systems.
The hardest part about working on the r-kontrol app is not programming, ux, testing, eleminate bugs, performance optimization, try to fit lots of stuff on to small screens... no no no... its to adjust the damn handbook ;)
After nearly 20 years of playing the majority of my games with xbox 360 controllers (first on the 360, now on PC) I'm finally forced to admit I need an upgrade. I've had some of these controllers for so long the housings have actually worn down. They're all on their second or third set of joystick sensors too. And it's annoying keeping up with rechargable AA batteries.
So, I'm looking for recommendations! I'd prefer:
Offset joysticks (eg, xbox) over symmetrical (eg, playstation)
Good, crisp input
Wireless, good range, either bluetooth or dongle (dongle slightly preferred)
Rechargable
Large-ish (I have fairly big hands)
Must work in Linux (primarily Pop_OS)
Extra back buttons are a plus!
I do have an 8bitdo Pro 2 controller, but I find it uncomfortable, undersized, and the d-pad is spongy. Cost isn't an issue within reason; I'd rather spend $75 on a really good controller than waste a bunch of time buying/returning junk.
I finally just installed the #emulators from RA itself. The #NES and #SNES ones work fine, but I had to map buttons on my #XBox#controller and they don't support filters.
Over the course of the past few days I've read through and rated 104 proposals for the Platform Engineering track at #KubeCon EU 2024. There were so many fantastic proposals. Really looking forward to the conference and especially this track. Most mentioned: #Backstage#IDP#Crossplane#Kubernetes#Controller#MultiCluster
Hi all, I saved this drum kit from the skip but while the USB is detected by both Ubuntu and windows 11 I am a a loss as to how to get sound out of it. It seems that I need to match it to a DAW but i can't seem to get #audacity or #ardour to detect it as an audio import source.

Saw these on MyLifeInGaming last night and it looks like a cool open hardware project so I thought I'd post it here....
