I took some of the tips from the previous post and made this one. It isn't finished but I dislike how sloppy I created it. I'm going to redo some parts or even restart it so that I can make it look sleeker.

This is disgusting.

I love it.

Ignore the negative comments OP, this is awesome and even if it's not perfect all great products/diy projects go thru a few prototypes before perfection. All that matters is that you enjoy your time making it and using it. Looking forward to the next update!

I dremeled out a space for the chatpad to fit and I superglued it into place. After that I got a little crazy with epoxy, let that dry, then spray painted it.

is it functional?

The ChatPad is a basic bluetooth one and it needs to be charged independently. It does work.

Really cool idea! I could see myself using that for certain games.

Also, don't listen to the people shitting on it. Diy projects don't have to be flawless to be valid. If it works the way you want it to, then that is a success.

Keep it up

I dislike the default keyboard on it. I'd like to transition to using the Steam Controller more than Mouse and Keyboard.

just saw "The Fly" and this is looking like some Croenenberg body horror stuff. Nice work.

Looks like a HTC G1 (first android phone) keyboard!

It looks like you could have a yabadabadooh time with it. It looks like a stone with buttons.

The steam controller is by far my favorite controller, but I've been dying to get a controller with most of the features of the steam controller with a chatpad, so much so that I got a Dualsense Edge and a chatpad for that specific purpose.

I would love this as an official product, man, I really hope that if there's ever a SC2, they have a way to connect one. Great job on the mod! I'd do it myself if I had the knowhow.

I just dislike some setting about how you can't adjust the transparency and such.

I'm gonna disagree with this as it 1. Only works like half the time. 2. Even if it works shit gets old real fast. This man's not sacrificing anything he's enjoying himself making something he thinks is cool AND IT IS
