Xbox controller? - 6

Is there a pinball controller for the xbox one? So something that grants a real pinball experience. Left and right a round button and possibly a tilt mechanism?

If not, is that interesting? Then I would have to build one myself. Including cup holder, of course.

There are so-called "https://www.amazon.de/s?k=xbox+arcade+controller&__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&ref=nb_sb_noss", like with classic gaming machines, which can also be operated on an XBox.

But I can't say whether there are buttons on the side and even an "acceleration" sensor (for a tilt function).

But pinball machines aren't necessarily so popular that I can't really (fully) imagine them.

However, it is common to trigger various "table vibrators" by pressing a button.

There are various providers and models. You have to look through it yourself.

This arcade controller for the XBox One has two buttons on the side:

Maybe that's enough for you. But "cheap" is something else…

Thank you for your help! Yes, the last controller below is getting closer to it. But that's not entirely satisfactory. I'm afraid what I'm looking for doesn't exist like this.

The description says that you can expand or rebuild this controller yourself.

Perhaps you will find such acceleration sensors that can be installed here.

You could build it up like one or several small bells.

The mallet closes the circuit when the controller is "shaken" strong enough. And with adhesive tape you could define areas of the "bell" or a ring as "non-conductive" and thus make the "direction" of the shaking locatable.

Otherwise you could use one button on the side for the rackets and the others for shaking the table on the left and right. And the buttons above could also be programmed accordingly.

I think I'll do something with microswitches like those used in joysticks. Three pieces for left, right & up should be enough. When I push the whole controller in that direction, it clicks after 1 cm.

Kind of nerdy, this question.
