I wanted to learn how hard it was to make a controller and figured a two button controller would be much easier project. Here's the end result:
I made my own controller.
This is exactly what I imagined when I saw the thread title.
Hope you made a hunk pipe out of the other shoe.
That controller's got sole.

This is awesome, but I see you made it for the Xbox 360, and Divekick is currently only coming to PS3 so the controller is useless
If it uses the same drivers as an Xbox controller then you can still use it on the PC.
Perfect. Now you can play Divekick like a Dance Dance Revolution game.
This just gave me a horrible idea, remember that dead island riptide boob statue? What if they did a boob controller for Divekick? 2 boobs one with a yellow nipple and one with a blue nipple. How freaking stupid would that be? I'm a stupid genius!
Great job on that controller, it looks freaking awesome! Can you still use that as a shoe?

just repurpose one of those boob mousepads and put buttons in there.

Yeah my plan is to greenlightdivekick.com and get it on steam which is why I went with an xbox controller. The dashboard ui is mostly to make a better picture (and button testing). I've got the two buttons working as I want, but need to I'm also not sure what my long term plan for navigation should be. Currently you have to reach in the shoe and push the contacts directly which doesn't seem sustainable.
You've inspired me to do the same.
(Also if one day you feel like sharing more info, please write a blog).
I've started work on the second shoe, and will document step by step and make a blog post/how to. As for where I got parts I picked them all up (except for the controller which I had laying around) from http://www.focusattack.com/

Awesome! Hearing about this made me really wanna tear apart a wired Xbox controller.

Okay, I didn't know it was coming to Steam. But now that I do, the controller is fine. Its a great design.
Put one button on each foot, and watch the hilarity ensue as Divekick becomes like DDR...
That would be great.

My God...
@aquacadet: Awesome.
Question: Can your foot still go in the shoe? It would be interesting to try and play it using heel and toe taps.
Also, a pair of shoes with one button on each'd be pretty dope.
ANYONE
yup
So did you just take apart a 360 controller, rip it's guts out and solder the leads on the PCB to the buttons? Because that's my plan, except for the prototype I'm gonna use an old busted usb keyboard. Going with a more traditional square box made out of wood look for the enclosure and some big illuminated 100m domed buttons I found, I just hope I can get it to work.
Would you mind posting how you got started making the controller? What parts did you use? Other than the shoe. :)

It's Gotcha all over again.
