Piano X Tekken: Player Creates Piano Controller
Posted: Mon Feb 03, 2014 6:52 pm
I said before that the piano keyboard was a better design than the arcade stick or joypad, so I predicted this in a way. I don't know whether this will lead to better arcade controls or joypads, though, which is what I was talking about.A Tekken player who calls himself "Mc Cool" put together a very unique (and rather complex) controller to play his favorite fighting game. Using a Arduino that reads MIDI signals from his keyboard, Mc Cool was able to map the keys to an Xbox 360. The result? Tekken Tag 2 controlled 100% with a piano! This isn't some sort of cheap trick either... in his video demonstration, Mc Cool actually pulls off some combos and even a win online.
