The Greyhound

Designed to be intuitive, comfortable, and affordable, The Greyhound is a wired controller that connects via USB-C to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PCs and, with certain adapters, the XBOX ONE. It’s fully compatible with Steam as well. The top-most sticks are your left and right stick and, just like on a traditional controller, pressing the sticks in will get you L3 and R3.

The button layout may seem odd, but given the tons of playtesting that went into it, I can promise that it’s much easier to use than you’d think.

There are little nubbins on on the triangle, square, X, and circle buttons so you can tell where you're at on the controller.

The controller should sit on its side as shown in the image gallery below. That way, the controller is ambidextrous and has built-in stability.

Every function has its own dedicated button, so no SHIFT functions or hotkeys to memorize.

The Greyhound is running the GP2040-CE firmware, so you can fully customize the layout as shown below.

To get it to work with different systems, hold the following while plugging the controller into the console:

Nintendo Switch == X

PlayStation 4 == TRIANGLE

Generic X-Input == CIRCLE

PlayStation 3 == SQUARE

XBOX ONE == L1

USB Keyboard == R2

For the PlayStation 4, plug an authentic DualShock4 into the second USB port on the controller, and you should be good to go. Turn on the PS4 with the DualShock, press CIRCLE when the login menu comes on, then press HOME on The Greyhound.

For the XBOX ONE, you'll need to put the controller into PS4 mode and use a Mayflash Magic-X adapter.

Nothing special is needed to use the X-Input or Switch modes.
