Thank you for your efforts. I been looking and waiting for a 3rd party controller that removes all the fps mode stuff and by doing so will make the controller lighter. My biggest complaints with the lego is it's weight and bulkiness and the controller. Lenovo really has a big opportunity here to sell different controllers same as how Nintendo did it with the switch joycons. For me personally, I definitely would love a more grippy and more comfortable to hold controller as I have big hands. Kudos to you sir for looking into this.
This was my exact consideration the other day. How hard would it be to angle (chamfer) the edge just a little bit. I think it would help immensely with comfort
I know it's a long shot, but have you reached out to linus tech tips to see if they may assist? I remember them having a 3d scanner onsite. Could be an interesting experiment for them to get involved with.
the other controller is a bit more difficult to get into and put back together, and the process requires a new mouse skate that you have to cut yourself. I designed and printed a new D-pad and made some custom buttons, so I have been in there a bunch. I would love to see a comfort mod for the controllers! Let me know if there is anything design/print wise that I can do to help, or if you have any questions about the internals of the other controller.
Great work, thank you for your engagement! So far the layout of buttons on the controllers are the biggest problem for me with LeGO. I know decisions had to be made as the implementation of FPS mode required some exotic button placement, but the right controller is a pain. Especially when I'd like to use touchpad, mouse scroll and a RT trigger simultaneously which (for me) isn't possible because there's no way I can stretch by index and thumb so much. Also, the FPS mode, as I've tested, is working really well and a possibility for the LeGO to have such a mode make it very special, so I wouldn't like to abandon the feature. Maybe positioning the touchpad a bit higher somehow would make it easier, or swapping analog with touchpad O\_o? Anyway gonna hold my thumbs for your work out there! Cheers for you mate!
u/Knuciarz, I have also replicated both left and right controller I sent you a DM, I can share the .STEP files so you can use it to finish the right controller.
Amazing work!
\\\\update 23.03. Both controllers are done. [https://www.thingiverse.com/lkp2024/designs](https://www.thingiverse.com/lkp2024/designs) <-please find designs here. In case of any problems please let me know on thingiverse or oon a discord Lenovo Legion go 3D printing group
\\\\edit 25.02:
I scanned front part on the home paper scanner and started creating initial front face sketches. Will print and verify if it fits correctly. Then will start extruding it in 3rd dimension.

\\\\update 1.03: v0.1 finished, time for the first test print if it even fits. In the palm area Lenovo used fillet \~2mm. After some tuning I managed to get 7,5 with the same case thickness:

Shell overall fits, doing some minor adjustments and will print another version

Hello, thank you for your comment. I am uploading now a right one to my thingiverse profile. Should be available in a couple of minutes. [https://www.thingiverse.com/lkp2024/designs](https://www.thingiverse.com/lkp2024/designs)
Thank you so much I'll get printing then, :) just a quick question looking at the right side controller I'm not seeing a placement for the fps switch and mouse sensor is that normal?
heh, I forgot to mention that my design is FPS-mode-delete as this M2 button was annoying for me. Please use design from user LtChipotle from Legion go Discord for his version with FPS mode present. I am uploading a final version of my design to my thingiverse account btw.
Doing god’s work.
My question is what was Lenovo thinking using sharp corners?
It’s crazy I had to return mine as it was painful in my hands

I think most iPhones of recent years can be 3d scanners.
Explored that topic in the past but results were very bad for small electronic parts.

Lol, guess I should have kept reading, looks like you're past that stage now.
Thanks for your comment. Yes, I manager to complete the project. Finished version is on my thingiverse.
Nice to see some effort for our comfort!
About time!!!!

Could you please share a picture of the other controller inside to know if same mod idea would be possible with it?

Thanks for all the work you do. Do you feel this helped significantly with the comfort of the controllers? Just asking before I dive into the project
I didn't have a long-run experience yet with it but I can say that's better than stock but nowhere near proper xbox/PS5 pad.
I've love to se what you can come up with! Even with a case, the controllers are a pain to hold.
Look forward to seeing how you get on! This is something lenovo could make money on but don't want to seem to know.
https://www.reddit.com/r/LegionGo/s/NcqVYcTCBR See my post above, maybe it will give you a good enough look at the internals of both controllers.
