The video review discusses the LukeClip HID, a modular game controller designed by a small company, LukeClip. This controller serves as a customizable button panel that can be used to add controls to existing devices, create button boxes, or build button panels using various components. The controller supports up to 20 regular switches, 20 impulse switches, 10 rotary encoders, two d-pad style controllers, and eight analog axes, offering a wide range of customization options for users.
The regular switches can function as either switches or buttons, while the impulse switches create a blip like a key press each time they are cycled. Rotary encoders work as impulse bindings for controlling plus or minus key ranges, such as zooming in or out. Dial potentiometers provide analog control from 0 to 100, suitable for controlling axes like mining laser outputs or flaps on an airplane. Trim potentiometers offer fine adjustments similar to a trim wheel in an aircraft.
The controller also includes a d-pad for directional control and a Dual analog ministick for joystick-like functionality, familiar to users of game controllers. Each switch or dial component is available individually for purchase, with prices varying for different components. The setup is plug-and-play, appearing in Windows as a standard controller without any performance issues or dropouts during testing. The investment in design and fabrication by LukeClip is highlighted, making it easier for users to design their perfect panel layout and customize their button configurations.
