The #Razer #Junglecat is a truly great smartphone controller that has one big flaw - it supports 3 or 4 phones.

Luckily, #3dprinting (and #openscad) to the rescue!

Lo and behold, #RazerJunglecat on my #GalaxyS23Ultra!

Could be worse. You could have the Moto Gamepad Mod, which only supports one phone. (Well, three if you want to count all three generations of the Moto Z series phones.)

Yes, I have one. Why do you ask...?

@dual_sport_dork Should still work with some custom 3D printed adapter, shouldn't it? But it definitely looks harder to create the adapter than a case.

Negative, unless your phone has the connector pads on the back for Moto Mods, which only the Z series has. The controller has no other way to connect to a phone.

@dual_sport_dork Ah, good old vendor lock-in.

My solution was to just print a thing that I could clip to my preferred Bluetooth controller and hold my phone in place.

I just use a DualSense but this makes me want to design one around a pair of Switch joycons.

@Kolanaki Take a look at https://github.com/SiloCityLabs/Cuttlephone - it's an OpenSCAD parametric design where you "just" need to measure your phone correctly and then render and print it. That's how I did mine. It has support for hard cases (PLA, PETG and so on), soft cases (TPU), Junglecat controller and Switch JoyCons.

Ooo... It even uses the rails. I was gonna be way less sophisticated (and end up using more filament) lol

I actually make junglecat cases for the Samsung z fold series!

I plan to make more for other phones too.

I sell my stls and prints https://frogcase.store/products/z-fold-3-junglecat-controller-case

These controllers are super cheap since the 3 phones it works with are so old now. You can get them for like $30!

@4lan Nice! Though not my cup of tea, I prefer open source. Where can you get the controllers for $30? Might get some spare ones.

Amazon when I got mine, always check the other seller options sometimes they hide better deals

@4lan Nothing in EU as far as I can find :/
