LtB something that doesn't exist yet (I think??)

[jeranon]

Concept: To possess a USB controller (xbox, switch, PS, Steam, etc...) connected to a console that I can display my button-presses on a video-stream live.
To my knowledge, it is not possible to have one device connected to two USB inputs (using a splitter).
Devices like LINK this look very expensive, and super sketchy... Not sure if live-functionality is even an option...

Does there exist, or is someone willing to design, a controller with two circuits running side-by-side? The first circuit would be the one everyone expects, you plug it into your console, and use it to control your game. The second circuit would be one that could interface with software like NintendoSpy or something similar that a person could use to record/stream their inputs. It would be a separate USB or bluetooth connection that a person could connect to their PC at the same time.

Is this something that is doable (or does it already exist??), and if so, who can I buy one from?

Currently my modding skills or absolutely zero, and I'm not even sure if I'm asking the right questions or making sense.
Thank you for your time, and feedback!

The problem you will have with this is that in order to plug a usb controller emulator into a console like say XBOX or PS4 or even the Switch will require reverse engineering of their controller protocols which is super hard to do and is not public knowledge.

Now maybe a pass through device where it can read inputs (this is easier to do) and pass them to something else might be what you need and allow the controller to function normally, but this will require software on a PC to output the inputs into whatever it is you want.

Also this is the wrong section for this. Moving it.
