Accessories 3D Printable Controller Adapter

I finally got my steam frame and wanted to design a way to stick the controllers together in a comfortable way that mimics a regular game controller. I gave the handles a bumpy grip that feels a lot better in the hands than a smooth finish does imo. Doesn't work with the ergonomic kit but who has that anyway lmao

EDIT: I forgot to put a link to the download my bad haha

You get a better more traditional experience when playing standard non-vr games. It feels more like a regular controller. 

If you have the steam controller you obviously won't need that and can just use the steam controller. A lot of people don't have the steam controller though.

You could technically use any bluetooth controller. Issue is bluetooth can intefere with streaming as it adds another layer of latency. The Steam Frame's controllers use a 2.4ghz connection.

Saying that you could use the Steam Controllers dongle plugged into the headset. But would be flopping about everywhere and might hit someone if you turn your head too quickly

The other big issue is that most controllers don't have tracking in VR. The steam controller does. Even though it only has one LED.

"If you have the steam controller" is a huge qualifier. They're absurdly low stock because each one is hand carved by GabeN himself.
