A new Skin for Wingman based on a true gaming device.

I have built recently a new gaming device, the "Gunstick", wich is a true handgun to play FPS on a vertical mousepad. I would ask the community if they think it could be cool asking ti Apex Legends developers if they can make a skin based upon it for the Wingman! It would help me too even in the actual developing for the next ones in costant evolution, to bring a new true device that will subsedes gaming mices for playing apex and other first person shooter. What do you think? Can you support this post?

  • @Robogatto_TTV Many questions here:
    Is it functional?
    What functionalities does it/would it have?
    Many players bund hip to their scroll wheel, would you have something similar?
    Would this be considered a controller or a mouse?
    Does it have gyroscope capabilities?
    How many buttons would it have?
    Do you need to have a keyboard as well?
    Do you plan to try to get this approved by EA so you don’t get banned for using an external device?
    It’s interesting, I just don’t know anything about it.

    Thus is a working device.

    I use it regularly in my streaming to get aquaintance both muscularly and accuracy, since its like gettin on a bycicle for the first time.

    The final stage of it will have a mouse wheel on its rear, like a gun (but not on next one i'm developing).

    Its a controller that use an optical system to work on a vertical mousepad.

    Actually it's not intended to have gyroscope capabilities, as it needs way more technology to implement it, and at this stage is not required for the device purpose.

    The next one will have the trigger and 2 buttons at the side of the Thumb. If i can work of a mouse wheel in a further device, it shall have a total of 5 selective buttons.

    Yeah, you still require a keyboard for the WASD, but believe me, its still fine. Maybe could work better with mini WASD kb, depends on your choices.

    This dont violate any rules about aiming, because its just a different way to aim, from horizontal to vertical. Tested yesterday on Overwarch wich this 1 button work good with Reaper. If you want to see, i can tell you where to see.

    @Robogatto_TTVApex has banned anyone using something out of the ordinary, they even said don’t you’d the azeron cyborg device bracease you could get banned just cause it’s an external device.
    It seems cool, thanks for answering all my questions lol!
    Do you plan of selling these? If so, are you able to make it with parts that are not from other devices?
    I’m actually watching your stream rn to see how it handles 🙂

    Don't worry, this device technically shall be ok with the rules of devices, and therefore, you just need to practice much into feeling comfortable on it. At early stage you can worse your game stats since you have to aim vertically.

    By the way, why you didnt asked me to use it on stream? It can be used on apex too, but with 1 button is somewhat limited. You can check previous streams on Overwatch and Apex if you like.

    On your question about selling them:

    Actually i need to build the Tenbatsu MK2 before thinking into making it a "True" product.

    Components should arrive at the end of this month, so i can work and build a version that can be used proficently in Apex Legends too.

    The MK2 Shall be a big leap toward the MK3.

    The good thing is that these king of Light Guns, if all goes well, can have true "skins" 😸.

    By the way, Monday morning (GMT+1) i'll be on streaming a bit with it, so you and everyone here can see.

    If you have any other question, ask free.

    I guess so 👍. I'll care to put up all the webcams needed, so it can be clear how it works.

    Thank you bro for your replies!!
