How to Use the SSI Japan KIZUNA smart controller with Funscripts

Step-by-step guide to using the SSI Japan KIZUNA smart controller with funscripts in HaptiQ via Buttplug.io via Intiface Central — plus how script motion maps to this rotator controller.

Buttplug.io via Intiface Central

  1. Install Intiface Central (the free Buttplug.io hub app) on your computer and start its server.
  2. Connect the SSI Japan KIZUNA smart controller (plug it in or pair it) and let Intiface Central detect it.
  3. In the HaptiQ Devices panel choose Buttplug.io and connect to your Intiface server (ws://localhost:12345 by default).
  4. Load a funscript or generate one from a video and press play — HaptiQ routes every scripted action through Intiface to the device.

How funscript motion maps to the SSI Japan KIZUNA smart controller

As a rotator controller, HaptiQ maps funscript position to vibration intensity — the rhythm of the script becomes the rhythm of the device.

Troubleshooting

Why won't my SSI Japan KIZUNA smart controller show up when I try to connect?

Browsers cannot open a raw serial port to a toy, so the device will not appear in a browser picker at all — that is by design, not a fault. Run Intiface Central on the same machine, confirm it lists the device there first, and only then connect from HaptiQ. If Intiface itself does not see it, the usual causes are a charge-only USB cable or a missing serial driver.

Do I need to install anything to use the SSI Japan KIZUNA smart controller with HaptiQ?

Yes — Intiface Central, on a desktop machine. BT2 (Serial) cannot be reached from a browser, so Intiface acts as the bridge and HaptiQ talks to it over Buttplug.io. It is free and open source.

The script plays but the device doesn't move. What's wrong?

The connection and the script are separate steps, and this symptom means the script is fine but commands are not arriving. Confirm the device still shows as connected — Intiface can lose the device without HaptiQ noticing immediately — then check the device is charged and not simultaneously connected somewhere else. A funscript with a flat section will also produce genuine stillness, so scrub to a section with obvious motion before concluding it is broken.

Why is the motion out of sync with the video?

A wired link is stable and low-latency once it works — jitter here almost always means Intiface is starved of CPU, not that the cable is at fault. Close background applications before blaming the connection.

Can I use the SSI Japan KIZUNA smart controller with funscripts I did not make myself?

Yes. A funscript is a plain motion file and carries no device information, so any script plays on any supported hardware. HaptiQ can also generate one from your own video, which matters when an existing script was timed to a different cut — that mismatch causes drift no offset can fix.
