Welcome to the pre-public version of the Videogame Interface Wiki.

The goal of this wiki is to promote non-standard videogame interactions by cataloguing all sorts of videogame interfaces and providing information for game players and game makers on how to make use of them.

Currently:

  • Um-ing and ah-ing over the best way to represent adapter compatibility.
  • We've hit 30 controller entries!
