I built a macOS app that turns your gamepad into an AI coding controller - and shipped most of it using the app itself

I've been running Claude Code for more then half a year already and at some point noticed my hands barely need the keyboard anymore. it's all enter, escape, arrows, scroll, voice-to-text.

built a thing for this. VibePad - macOS menu bar app, maps a gamepad to Claude Code shortcuts. ✕ = accept, O = interrupt, L2 = voice-to-text, d-pad = navigate history, right stick = scroll. L1 modifier layer doubles the button count for stuff like copy/paste/tab switching.

whole thing is free and the config is a JSON file if you want to remap anything: https://vibepad.now | github.com/ignatovv/VibePad
