This is something that we could really benefit from. I know you can use keyboard/mouse for some games, but having 2 analog sticks I feel would definitely fit for a majority of people. I for one like using both methods, but I would absolutely get this in an instant.

Great work, thanks dub !

Great job, I wonder what happened to the Retrobit controllers. It has been a long time since they announced it. It looks all the good things are coming from the community anyway.

the video shows that the second analog simply duplicates the existing buttons or triggers, depending on how the switches are set

Yeah, definitely not actually functioning as a analog stick. Doing the same thing as a Brook adapter.

I wonder if it can also behave as the dpad, that could be useful

Fair play to the lad but would it not be simpler to maybe clip some type of 3d printed "second stick" onto the pad that has a few switches, arms, pressy type things under it which cover and line up with the face buttons. Something you could clip on and off for the likes of MDK2, HL, Quake etc. No I absolutely haven't thought this through but i've always been piss poor on details but you're welcome :p

Game has to be coded to have two analog inputs no stick will make it work like that.. you get on off digital controls with no variability as a stick which is ether full on or off makes the game super touchy almost not playable as you have to tap those buttons.. no need for 2nd stick for games that have no input for them were not made or coded to use them..
