Use your 3D printer to customize this new Stage Tour guitar PC controller

After over two decades since the debut of Guitar Hero in 2005, music rhythm games have experienced a resurgence with the upcoming release of Stage Tour from RedOctane Games. This innovative development presents new opportunities for musicians and gamers to utilize customized peripherals, as evidenced by the InfinaKore Fender Telecaster guitar controller from Drakong, slated to be available for $129.99 / €129.99 / £119.99.

This guitar controller boasts a modular design, allowing users to customize its appearance and feel, and even 3D-print parts to their liking. Drakong, a Californian-based manufacturer under HyperKin, offers a unique blend of customization and cutting-edge technology in this new controller.

The InfinaKore guitar controller features state-of-the-art components, such as low-profile Kailh Choc switches for the top frets, which are hot-swappable, and membrane switches for the bottom frets. The strum-bar and whammy-bar incorporate hall-effect switches, reducing wear and tear. The fret bar incorporates a D-pad-style layout for creative strumming possibilities, while the foldable neck enables convenient storage and transportation.

Connectivity options include tri-mode functionality, a 4-mode slider switch, tilt functionality for power-up mode activation, and a dedicated power-up button. Notably, the buttons are mappable, providing flexibility to adapt the controller to individual preferences.

As Stage Tour gears up for its release later in the year, gamers may find the InfinaKore Fender Telecaster guitar controller to be an excellent addition to their gaming setup, enhancing their experience with the new music rhythm game.
