I wanted to share this highly customized GameCube keyboard controller I built for use with Animal Crossing. Since the first AC game doesn’t support keyboard input, I used a Pi Pico to listen for keypresses and send simulated analog stick movements to the game, automating typing in Animal Crossing at a tool-assisted speedrun level. It works a treat! I designed the keycaps in FreeCAD and printed them on a Bambu P1P with an AMS and two different colors of PLA. The code and design files are available for free on GitHub.
And a full build/demonstration video is available here (I ended up making it do a lot more than just typing) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw8Alf_lolA
That video was amazing! Super work tbh.
Thanks for watching! It was a lot of fun putting it all together.
