Features of MyGamepad

MyGamepad is a combination of different input devices, including keyboard, mouse, and controller. The device is designed to be used with one hand (left- and right-hand versions available) in combination with a mouse operated with the other. It is connected to the computer or console via a free USB 2.0 port.

Individual colors

3D printing allows for complete personalization of MyGamepad's color scheme. You can fully customize the design to match your individual style and preferences, allowing you to create a controller that feels uniquely yours. Whether you prefer bold, vibrant colors or a sleek, minimalist look, the possibilities are limited only by your imagination and the capabilities of your 3D printer.

Color display

MyGamepad features a 2.4 inch color display with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. It shows your profile and keybindings at a glance, while serving as your Control Center for easy configuration and settings adjustments. The screen also provides real-time action feedback, keeping you informed and immersed in the game.

Real-time visual action feedback

As you manipulate the analog stick, the screen provides an instant, graphical representation of your input. Single-direction movements as well as diagonal inputs are displayed with clarity and precision. The intensity of your stick movement is visually depicted, giving you a clear indication of the strength of your input, allowing for finer control in games that demand accuracy.

Customization at your fingertips

MyGamepad features 25 individually programmable, high-quality keyboard keys. Our ergonomic design places these keys for optimal accessibility: Finger 1: 6 keys, Finger 2:
5 keys, Finger 3: 5 keys, Finger 4: 6 keys, Thumb: 3 keys.
This layout ensures that every key is within easy reach, allowing for quick and intuitive access during intense
gaming sessions.
