Build an Arcade Style Gun for PC Shooters

We’ve all had the experience of playing a first person shooter (FPS) at an arcade. It’s so much more realistic than just a mouse and keyboard. With this tutorial, destroy hack your mouse, keyboard, and web cam to build your own FPS gun. Although it may looks rather ugly, slap a black case on it, throw in a few LEDs, and presto, its ready to be manufactured. Read.

The outlines for the gun are:

  • must be able to control both the walking and looking of the game (keyboard & mouse)
  • must have many other functional keys (space enter pause ect..)
  • relatively accurate
  • decent range from computer
  • cheap and simple

Stuff you will need:

  • an old (working) usb keyboard & mouse
  • various buttons, toggle switches and LEDs (infrared) of your choice
  • an old web cam (working)
  • long cable containing 8 or more wires (sata will do)
  • various materials (wood, plastic,metal ect)
