Build your own
The same parts on their own — for fitting Pulsar to a controller you already have, repairing a build, or building it your own way. The build guide shows what fitting involves. Everything here is built in small runs, so the counts are what is physically on the bench.
Pulsar Board
The Pulsar board on its own, for fitting to a controller you already own. You supply the controller; a cell and a shell are sold separately.
$59.99
Replacement cell
The lithium-polymer pouch cell the adapter is designed to fit, for a build or a replacement. Charges over USB-C through the board.

3D print and screws
The printed housing that closes over the board and cell, with the screws to fit it. Also available as a design to print yourself — the 3D files are public.
Dreamcast grey $9.99
Before you order
- Pulsar fits original Dreamcast controllers — it speaks the controller's own Maple bus rather than emulating one. Testing has been on first-party Sega controllers only; third-party pads are unverified.
- Firmware updates install over Bluetooth straight from this site, no cables or companion app. See the updater.
- Prefer to build rather than buy? Pulsar is open source — firmware, hardware designs and 3D files. See the project.
