Pretty cool! Reminds me of the Alpakka controller experiment, which uses a conventional PCB but has a conductive plate used to trigger the gyros (similar to the steam controller, but this one has dual gyros, which allow for insane stability and accuracy). Video here and documentation here

Def a cool controller. I remember reading about it awhile ago.

My project will use a conventional pcb, I just needed to test the spacing of the buttons and get a literal reference for how big it'll be since I knew it was gonna be a bit chunky.
