Twitch Streamer uses Fidget Spinners to play Genji in Overwatch

Twitch Streamer Rudeism is known for using crazy control methods in games, from Bananas to Dance pads, but now he's taken the ultimate challenge by using Fidget Spinners in Overwatch.

A while back we got news that a streamer known as Rudeism was using various methods to control games, such as using Bananas to move Winston in Overwatch. Now he's back with yet another crazy method to control games as he uses Fidget Spinners to operate Genji in Overwatch. While it might seem like an impossible feat, he's managed to hook up 5 Spinners to a board and use them to aim, move and shoot.

He goes into greater detail about how the method works with the Spinners, with 5 Fidget Spinners being used on a board and each one having their own rotary encoder. Thanks to the board these are transformed into signals which can then read movements, aim or controls. In Overwatch Two of the Spinners are used for movement, two for up/down aiming and the fifth is used for left/right mouse button actions. It's not perfect by any means, but he's managed to get quite good with the spinners and Genji in Overwatch (much like he did with Winston using bananas before).

You can get a proper look at the Fidget Spinners in action as Rudeism sharpens his ninja Skills as Genji on Twitch. He even manages to get some great kills. What control method would you like to see being usedto control your favourite games?
