Democratizing videogame controllers

Passion and innovation

Input Labs does research on videogame controllers, and make open source (software) and Creative Commons (hardware) designs available for everyone.

Players can build their dream controller by using our Controller reference designs, or modify the schematics and/or code for any special need or competitive requirements.

We also license our innovations to companies for integration into commercial devices, as a way to fund our research.

Pioneers of gyro tech

Gyro is replacing thumbstick as the main control for look-around, aiming, and overall menu navigation with a pointer.

We develop core technologies (Dual-gyro and Thumb-sense) that make gyro gaming as precise as a mouse, plug-and-play, and easy to learn.

So you can enjoy any game (FPS, RTS, point-and-click) with mouse accuracy while on a sofa.

We are proud to say our gyro tech is a generation ahead of any other controller in the market.

Accessibility meets performance

No size fits all, that's why our main approach to accessibility is to make the software and hardware open, that way people can modify the controllers their way, while we help as much as possible with resources, tools, and support.

Our reference designs cover both some disability use cases, and some convenience use cases. And serve as a baseline for players modifying the designs in either direction.

Right to repair

Something broke? worry not, just replace the faulty part with a new one.

We design hardware for easy DIY (Do-It-Yourself) and for you to exercise your Right-to-Repair anytime.

Everything is open, everything is as simple as it can be, just take a soldering iron and you are ready to go.

We are actual gamers

Thousands of hours playing video games, that's our secret sauce for creating awesome controllers. Popular games or niche games, we play both.

Our devices are not designed by committee, nor the result of market studies to maximize profitability.

We stand behind our work, and use our own controllers everyday. We are passionate about them, and we hope to share that passion with you.

Do-It-Yourself, but don't do it alone
