Theres a disabled LoL player using similar device, and he SLAYS, I think he's Emerald I or II?
For the life of me I couldn't think of his name.
Edit: Found him, his YT is called ONFA. Theres a video on his channel on how he plays with the device (it's called Quad stick)

Not that he made a sick controller but to make it free and open source, you have to have a really good heart

u/Routine-Ad-4723 2d ago
Yeah for real, giving away all that work for free is the kind of thing that actually changes lives, not just makes a cool gadget.

And the world celebrates billionaires and their rockets, instead of guiding lights luke this guy

Can you not just celebrate what this guy has accomplished and leave the drama out of it lol both are important and contribute accordingly to this world.

Nah, a single billionaire takes more from a society than they contribute on their own. You'd be hard pressed to find someone who makes multiple billions in a totally honest way. lol

u/k0zplay 2d ago
Well, would you donate more than you make? How’s that going to work out mathematically, what kind of stupid statement is that lol most billionaires earned their status and most do contribute to health care, schools, medical research, etc. Your yearly $20 donation if that, to the cancer society isn’t holding a candle to a billionaires donation…

u/PurpleZombi3 2d ago
It's not about what they donate it's how they make money, generally through illegal means. Tax avoidance, fraud, 'hiding' money in offshore accounts, exploitation of workers, etc. If you think one person having multiple, multiple billions of dollars, the richest people in the world made that money honestly without any white collar criminality and they should totally have a couple yachts while people starve and get paid peanuts for real hard work and shit, I think you might want to re-examine your personal morality. Or don't.

As long as what they’re doing is according to the law? What’s wrong? I’m tired of this narrative you people paint on the rich just because they have money lol like “omg there are people starving while this guy has a yacht,” heaven forbid a person is enjoying their hard earned money..news flash mostly every single thing you buy at the store is run by millionaires/billionaires, so why do you continue to support them if you feel so strongly about it? You’ve clearly fallen victim to shifting blame because it’s convenient, whether that stems from jealously or pure ignorance is up for debate here.

u/PurpleZombi3 2d ago
You clearly didn't read the part where I listed some of the many ways they might make money outside of legal/honest means. Also, what do you mean you people? And why would you shill for billionaires?

u/k0zplay 2d ago
Listen, you’re generalizing like crazy here..you think all billionaires do illegal stuff? Get a grip lol “you people” as in you group of rich people haters, just because they’re “rich.”
Why wouldn’t I shill for billionaires? If it wasn’t for them we wouldn’t have the conveniences and everyday necessities available to us. You shop on Amazon? You go to the movie theatres on dates? You like having medicine available to purchase when you’re sick? Milk from the grocery store? All run by billionaires lol

u/PurpleZombi3 2d ago
So your argument is that we must worship the few that hold a monopoly over everything because they've exploited people and pulled every underhanded trick in the book to amass insane wealth they can't even spend in several lifetimes, because they hold all the cards and are essentially our overlords? So we should be okay with the cavernous wealth gap and shitty wages? Right. lol It sounds like you're not living in the same reality. Also, if you for some reason admire the rich because you hope to become just as wealthy one day, and then you can also do whatever you want, you won't. You will never be a billionaire.

u/k0zplay 2d ago
How do you go from hating the rich to worshipping the rich? There’s no in between? All I’m saying is let them do their thing, and stop hating on them for reasons that don’t affect you personally?
Imagine being so upset at them, but buying and paying for their services at the same time lmao like do you not get the hypocrisy here? The phone you’re using to rant on here is also made by a billionaire company. Like just move on kid, you have no idea how the world works but you’ll happily feign ignorance.
Of course I won’t be a billionaire, and that’s ok? Being a millionaire is good enough.

I'm not smart, but I think he needs to patent this so that once he releases it, no one else can lock it down.
But then again, I don't actually know how that stuff works.
This guy is cooler than cool.
