Classic Controllers
Nostalgic controls in VR
Two iconic controllers, NES and SNES, modeled with accurate dimensions, for seamless integration and first-person VR experiences — built with proper topology and material separation suitable for real-time rendering, interaction, and 3D printing.

Few pieces of hardware evoke as strong a sense of connection for a generation of players as the SNES controller. Its distinctive shape and button layout became the defining feel of an era, influencing countless designs that followed. Recreating it involved careful study of the original hardware — matching not just the form and proportions, but the specific color tones, surface finishes, and subtle details that make the object instantly recognizable even today.
The controllers feature separated geometry for multi-material 3D printing — including rigid ABS-style bodies and soft vinyl-style button overlays. All components are properly scaled and rigged for both real-time interaction and physical printing.
