Someone has turned a Fisher-Price toy for babies into a fully functional Xbox controller and is considering using it for a speed run.
Just when you thought the furry Sonic and Knuckles Xbox controllers, made for the second Sonic The Hedgehog movie, were the weirdest controllers you’d ever seen, someone has come along and topped it with a Fisher-Price Xbox controller.
We don’t mean someone has customised an Xbox controller to look like a Fisher Price toy using Xbox’s own design lab website or anything like that. Instead, they have modified an actual Fisher-Price toy to work as an Xbox controller.
Specifically, it’s a Fisher-Price Game & Learn controller designed for babies and intended to develop their motor skills and hand-to-eye coordination.
It’s not for sale, obviously, and is the work of Twitter user Rudeism, who describes himself as a ‘builder of bizarre controllers.’
Rudeism also shared a video to prove that it does indeed work, connecting it to his laptop to play Elden Ring for peak tonal dissonance. While the face buttons may not be a one-to-one match to the Xbox controller (they’re labelled A, B, C, and D instead of A, B, X, and Y for starters), it functions exactly like one.
It’s even been acknowledged by Seamus Blackley, who helped create the original Xbox console. ‘I fully endorse this new BabyDuke controller,’ he wrote, in reference to how the original Xbox’s controller was nicknamed the Duke.
@rudeism I fully endorse this new BabyDuke controller. BRAVO. Well done. ðâ¤ï¸ https://t.co/rvQbYI7AQR
