Someone modified the Fisher Price game controller to work on PC and played Elden Ring with it

Rudeism on Twitter modified the Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Game & Learn Controller to actually work on PC and they even played Elden Ring with it.

rudeism shared footage of the Elden Ring being played with the Fisher Price toy, which he effectively turned into an Xbox controller. He also explained a bit about how he modified the controller while keeping many of the toy’s original sounds intact.

Here’s the Fisher Price Xbox controller in action!

One of the biggest challenges was the fact that the controller didn’t have a proper analog stick. To get around this, Rudeism used the mode switch on the controller, which changes the mode from music to numbers.

When you switch modes, the left joystick turns into a right joystick. It also changes some of the face buttons to perform other actions as well. The joystick can even be depressed like a normal Xbox controller. There are two bumpers on top – one with a wheel and one that acts as a kind of light switch – and they make up LB/LT and RB/RT.

This project was inspired by a "casual joke" which Wario64 tweeted on April 15th. He shared a link to a discounted Fisher Price controller and said it was, "perfect for Elden Ring."

Speaking to IGN, Rudeism said there is a "Suuuuper snug fitting – I had to get a Stanley knife to cut off the USB connector so I could push it in there." However, this resulted in one of Rudeism’s cleanest builds.

It was also one of his easier builds than he is right now "Piggyback from the existing circuit board." Getting everything into the controller was the hardest part, and they had to "Customize an all-new thumbstick and 3D print a mount for it, and add new electronics for the shoulder buttons."

Rudeism is no stranger to unique controller creations he recently beat Dark Souls 3 with morse code, and once played Overwatch with a bunch of bananas.
