Innovative DIY Controller Transforms Super Monkey Ball Gameplay

Tom Tilley's custom trackball creation offers a unique way to experience the classic puzzle game.

Tilley used a 3D-printed monkey, a plastic sphere, and a modified optical mouse to build the controller.
The design includes a cardboard base and deodorant rollers for smooth movement.
Tilley adapted his previous trackball design used for other games like Armadillo Racing and Katamari Damacy.
The controller maps mouse movements to virtual joysticks using FreePIE software.
Tilley shared his creation on social media, garnering widespread attention and admiration.
