## What is X2Joy LightGun?

X2Joy turns your phone into a true motion light gun and game controller. Powered by built-in IMU gyroscope and accelerometer, combined with the Madgwick attitude estimation algorithm, it captures every aim and swing with precision — no IR sensor, no camera, no expensive peripherals. All you need is a phone and a PC.

Motion Light Gun
Gyro-driven aiming with flick-to-reload, shake, and trigger gesture recognition — relive classic arcade light-gun shooting.

Low-Cost Setup
Compared with expensive IR light-gun peripherals, X2Joy needs only your phone plus the open-source PC receiver — a fraction of the cost.

Low-Latency Connection
Native WebSocket connects directly to the PC receiver. Scan to pair in seconds, with encrypted messaging for a stable and secure session.

Custom Control Layout
Freely configure buttons, virtual joysticks, and gestures to fit any game and play style.

Open-Source Ecosystem
The PC receiver and 3D-printable shell designs are fully open source. Print your own light gun shell and build your signature setup.

Bilingual
UI in both Chinese and English, ready for players worldwide.

How to Use:

Run the open-source receiver on your PC (available on GitHub)
Open the app, scan the QR code or enter the address to connect
Slide your phone into the 3D-printed shell (optional) and play!
See the official website for the open-source repo and shell designs.
