RIFFSTICK—A Portable Clone Hero and YARG Controller

Designed for Clone Hero & YARG on PC, this custom Riffstick guitar controller measures in at only 11" tall! Featuring a USB C port, Frets and Strumbar, as well as Start and Select Buttons. The RiffStick does NOT have a whammy bar function, and there are no DPad controls. The keybinds match those of an Xbox Guitar controller. It is a custom-made XInput device using Gateron Blue clicky keyswitches and a Rasberry Pi Pico.

THIS CONTROLLER IS INTENDED FOR PC CLONE HERO OR YARG. It may require you to bind controls manually in CH or YARG. It is possible to use this controller on Xbox versions of Guitar Hero and RB if you have the USBDSecPatch & a Sandtroller USB Host. It may be possible to use this controller on CH Android, but this is untested.
