Virtual Boy Custom Wireless Controller

This controller represents the most advanced Virtual Boy controller design produced to date, combining modern wireless connectivity, rumble feedback, and a fully custom carbon fiber shell. It is a fully custom built Virtual Boy wireless controller running the same firmware used in my Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) Virtual Boy (VB) wireless controller PCB. It preserves the original Nintendo Virtual Boy controller layout while adding modern wireless connectivity and multiple controller modes.
 
Unlike the DIY PCB upgrade, this version is a fully assembled custom controller with an entirely new housing. It is intended for those who want a modern ready-to-use wireless Virtual Boy controller without needing to source parts or perform installation work.
 
The controller connects using Bluetooth, allowing it to work with the Nintendo Switch 1/2, PC, BlueRetro, and Meta Quest. With a BlueRetro receiver it can also be used wirelessly with an original Virtual Boy console. The controller is built entirely from new components including a custom housing, electronics, and wireless system.
 
Compatibility:
This controller can be used with multiple systems depending on configuration:
Nintendo Switch (Switch Pro Controller mode)
Windows PC / Mednafen (DInput)
Meta Quest using VBGo
Original Virtual Boy (with BlueRetro receiver)
 
This controller communicates directly with BlueRetro receivers over Bluetooth when used with original hardware and is not compatible with my original ESP-Now RetroOnyx receivers.
