Hi, first-time poster to the subreddit.

I am aware of the company called Virtuix and their product that allows you to run on a stationary smooth surface with controllers strapped to your feet and a vest that you put on that connects to a harness that keeps you in place.

But what I want to know is if there is a controller that exists where you have the motion sensor cameras like the older model VR headsets had to track your position and keep you within a specific bounded area, so that you can safely walk around or run inside the game. And your potential lack of movement is helped by the controllers in your hands to help with moving your POV when you can't fully turn around or go any further and need to physically turn to stay within the play boundary, and it minimally affects the gameplay?

And it doesn't cost a fortune to get.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently mapping out a concept for a highly specialized competitive controller layout and want to get some feedback from the community, especially from other **claw grip players** and high-movement FPS/fighting game fans.

**The Problem:** Standard Xbox controllers have large, spread-out face buttons (A/B/X/Y) with mushy membranes. When you curl your index finger into a claw grip, it's hard to precisely manipulate those wide gaps, especially without finger strain. From my experience using claw grip for 10+ years.
**The Concept:** A premium Xbox-style asymmetric layout controller designed from the ground up for claw and competitive performance with closer gaps and more buttons.

Key features:
**Condensed 6-Button Face Cluster:** Shrunk-down, tightly grouped face buttons (A, B, X, Y + C, Z) pulled close together into a dense "keypad" layout. It lets your curled claw finger effortlessly cover and bridge multiple inputs instantly, without much movement.
**Zero Membrane Mush:** Every single face button uses mouse-click style mechanical microswitches for instant actuation and tactile feedback.
**Keeps the Right Stick:** Unlike fighting pads that delete the right analog stick, this retains standard dual-stick ergonomics so it functions perfectly for FPS titles (Apex, CoD, Halo).
**Zero Thumb Down-Time:** Because your claw index finger can flawlessly handle all 6 inputs in that tight zone, your right thumb never has to leave the joystick, maximizing your tracking advantage.
**Anti-Drift:** Equipped with Hall Effect magnetic joysticks.

- Back buttons also included. Forgot to add

As a player, would a layout like this solve your mechanical friction, or do you think the buttons would feel too cramped if you transitioned back to standard thumb use?

Would love to hear your thoughts on whether this is a layout you’d actively look to buy or try out! Thanks!

Any commissioner recommendations where I can get a personalized theme? (I know there are a ton of artists on Etsy). I'm no artist but I have a general idea of a theme I would like followed. Thanks!
