h2 Open source
p Input Labs does public research on videogame controllers, and make open source (software) and Creative Commons (hardware) designs available for everyone.
p Use the #[+a('/alpakka') Reference Designs] to build your own controller, or modify them for your special needs, preferences, or competitive requirements.
h2 Passion and innovation
p Input Labs does research on videogame controllers, and make #[em open source] (software) and #[em Creative Commons] (hardware) designs available for everyone.
p Players can build their dream controller by using our #[+a('/alpakka') Controller] #[em reference designs], or modify the schematics and/or code for any special need or competitive requirements.
p We also license our innovations to companies for integration into commercial devices, as a way to #[em fund our research].

h2 Pioneers of gyro tech
p Gyro is replacing thumbstick as the main control for look-around, aiming, and overall menu navigation with a pointer.
p We develop core technologies (#[em Dual-gyro] and #[em Thumb-sense]) that make gyro gaming as precise as a mouse, plug-and-play, and easy to learn.
p So you can enjoy any game (FPS, RTS, point-and-click) with #[+ax(org.youtube) mouse accuracy while on a sofa].
p We are proud to say our gyro tech is #[em a generation ahead] of any other controller in the market.

h2 Accessibility meets performance
p No size fits all, that's why our main approach to accessibility is to make the software and hardware open, that way people can #[em modify the controllers] their way, while we help as much as possible with resources, tools, and support.
p Our reference designs cover both some disability use cases, and some convenience use cases. And serve as a baseline for players modifying the designs in either direction.
p We do not make compromises, we make top-performing competitive-level controllers for everybody.

h2 Slaying single-handedly
p The Kapybara controller is Input Labs' second reference design, to be used with a #[em single hand], and more focused in accessibility use-cases, yet it still have the same #[em advanced gyro] controls than the Alpakka, and plenty of buttons to play any game.
p Use it as a #[em standalone controller], and play any game single-handed without limitations.
p Or use as a replacement for #[em WASD] (keyboard) while also using a mouse.

h2 Next phase starts in 2025
p We already solved most of the basic features by developing the #[+a('marmota') Marmota] module, which will also become the core of the Kapybara controller.
p The next phase will be to create the #[em Kapybara workgroup], a small group of testers and contributors.
p There is a lot of work to do figuring out the #[em physical layout] of the controller, how many buttons and inputs will have, and how they will be placed. We expect this work to start in #[em Q2 2025].
h2 Development overview
p During #[em 2025] we iterated over the external case and button arrangement, and we distributed mockups to a small group of testers. The feedback was unanimously positive.
p By using the #[+a('marmota') Marmota] module we have minimum requirements covered (USB-C, battery charging, wireless).
p In the next phase during #[em 2026] we will start working in the main board + electronics, and mechanical integration with the case.

li You still want to use mouse, but is difficult for you to use a #[em keyboard].
li You still want to use mouse, but your prefer an analog #[em thumbstick] over WASD keys.
