What's Included
The Proteus Controller comes with all of the buttons and inputs you get from a standard controller, plus two extra remappable buttons and and an extra mini analog stick
Body Modules
- Each Power Cube has it's own battery and the ability to pair to the Bluetooth Dongle provided
- Power Cubes connect to each other and other body modules at 16 different angles and are securely locked together using the switch lock mechanism
Tips - Each configuration needs at least one Power
- If you have two Power Cubes and Two Dongles you can connect two controllers and use them as one wirelessly.
Each Analog Cube contains a left and a right analog stick which can be remapped.
Left Analog Cube Inputs:
- LS
- L3
Right Analog Cube Inputs:
- RS
- R3
The analog stick component can't be removed from Analog Cubes, but the Analog Stick Cap is removable so you can 3D print different attachments.
Tips
- Analog Stick inputs are required for most games but Mini Analog Cubes could be used in place of analog cubes
- The Left Analog Stick can be used for navigation in menus in place of a Dpad
- Charger Spacers have a USB-C port, which allows you to charge all Power Cubes connected to your configuration
- Charger Spacers can also be used to space out your configurations
Tips
- Charger Modules are not required for gameplay, but you need it one to charge your controller and to connect to our app!
- Charger Modules do not need to be directly connected to a Power Cube to charge it, it will charge through other modules as well (but a bit more slowly!)
Half Cubes allow you to angle your components at 45 or 90 degrees
Tips
- Half Cubes are not required and are only used for the shape of your controller
- Half Cubes are great when making more unusual configurations
- Half Cubes are also good when building 'table-top' configurations

- Using the Proteus Controller App, you can remap Mini Analog Sticks to swap them from being a left or right analog stick. You can also invert both the horizontal and vertical axis
- You can use more than 2 analog sticks in a configuration, if you have two analog sticks mapped to left, for example, and you move both at the same time, the controller will take the average of your input.
Plugs and Covers cover any exposed face you're not using for increased comfort and ergonomics and also to protect your controller
The Plugs also have some fun designs to decorate your controller with!
Other Items
Charge your controller and use it to connect to the companion browser app
Plug directly into the Xbox or PC to pair your Power Cube to the device.
Tips
- Purchase an extra dongle and pair both of your Power Cubes to the device to play split-style!
