Overview
Doesn’t the controller pictured above remind you of Tetris? You see, No More Lines (stylized as nomorelines) makes a bunch of different controllers that can have a joystick with buttons, only buttons, or only keys like the Tetris-like controller pictured above, and Leon of No More Lines ships his colorful controllers from the heart of Louisiana.
Anyway, let’s just call the controller in the picture the Tetris controller, but don’t be mistaken: this controller is meant for playing fighting games. With that said, your brand new Tetris controller should arrive with a printout of mode shortcuts and documentation.
Moving on…
The Tetris controller uses Elagcap PBT keycaps with Akko V3 tactile switches that are in the Cherry MX style. The keycaps are replaceable, but the switches are soldered, so you can’t hot swap them. Luckily, these switches are satisfyingly responsive, especially when combined with the comfortable keycaps.
Now, you may be wondering about the unique layout. First, let’s get the familiar part out of the way: the four keys on the left are directional inputs, and the eight keys to their right are attack inputs. This leaves us with the six key cluster on the upper right.
The first row serves as these function buttons:
- Start
- Select
- Home/PlayStation
- Touchpad
And the two keys below them serve as L3 and R3 buttons… But how does all of that work? Essentially, the Tetris controller runs on the open source GP2040-CE firmware that we at The Arcade Stick have grown to love over the years. This excellent firmware provides you from SOCD cleaning modes to almost zero input latency.
The firmware also allows you to insert a dongle into the designated USB passthrough to extend the Tetris controller’s compatibility to support modern consoles.
Just ask No More Lines for the dongle you want, and your controller should come preinstalled with that dongle—as well as preset with the appropriate mode. Otherwise, there’s a USB female passthrough (with a lid) where the long-enough cable goes.
Near that passthrough, there’s even an on/off toggle that’s rare to see when buying such controllers, so you’re definitely getting a unique offering here.
Another thing worth noting is that, if you pop open your Tetris controller, you may be glad to see the spacious interior—plus the fairly neat wiring.
When it comes to the hardware, the Tetris controller is partially made of PETG, which is great at being wear-resistant and impact-resistant. However, the Tetris controller is mainly 3D printed from a kind of PLA that honestly doesn’t handle heat all that well.
(Just avoid leaving the Tetris controller in your car in the middle of the summer, and you should be good.)
On the bright side, this kind of PLA has a pleasant texture to it, and its glossy look can also capture one’s attention. Speaking of looks, the Tetris controller’s enclosure and keycap colors can be mixed & matched to come up with a color scheme that represents your interests. For example, the color scheme can represent your favorite sports team.
Truth be told, this article only scratches the surface of what No More Lines can offer you. Do yourself a favor, and check out its Etsy store for yourself—to find the all key, all button, or joystick controller that may make you better at fighting games right after buying it!
