Innovative Single-Handed Pc Game Controller with Gyro and Xbox 360 Emulation

We are seeking a skilled freelancer or team to design and develop a unique single-handed PC game controller. The controller must incorporate specific features to provide an enhanced gaming experience and ensure seamless compatibility with modern gaming platforms. The primary goal is for the device to be recognized and function as a standard Xbox 360 controller within Unreal Engine.

Key features required for the controller:
- Gyro sensor input: For precise motion control and aiming capabilities.
- Analog thumbstick: For smooth and accurate directional input.
- Two trigger buttons: Essential for various in-game actions, requiring analog input if possible.
- Four normal buttons: For standard action inputs.

The project involves:
1.  Hardware design and component selection for the single-handed form factor.
2.  Development of embedded firmware to manage all sensor and button inputs.
3.  Implementation of a software layer or driver that enables the PC to detect the device as an Xbox 360 controller.
4.  Ensuring full compatibility and proper functionality within Unreal Engine, allowing for standard controller mapping and input recognition.
5.  Testing and validation to ensure all features work reliably and meet performance expectations.

We are looking for expertise in both hardware electronics and software development, particularly with experience in game controller emulation or driver development for Windows-based systems. A strong understanding of Unreal Engine's input system is highly desirable.
