thingiverse

Here is a 10-button macro board / Arcade buttons which the buttons can be programmed to do whatever you want. Parts list: (US-$18.88) https://amzn.to/2GTKgNM (UK-£16.88) https://amzn.to/2ToDz7D For both of these items, bear in mind they come with joysticks but everything you need is included. Hardware Setup: This arcade controller is incredibly easy to set up just follow the instructions below: -Plug the red and black wires into each of the buttons. (It does not matter which way) -Slot the wire endings and then proceed to put each of the buttons in the correctly sized wholes -Plug the wires from the four buttons arranged in a square into the 4 left most bottom sockets on the brown joystick circuit board. -Plug the 4 action buttons into the sockets labeled AU, AD, AR, AL (the top one in AU, the left most one in AL and so on...) -Plug the top left smaller button on the Arcade box into the 5th most socket and the other smaller button into the 6th slot. -Put the USB adapter cable end piece through the rectangular cutout. If it's a tight fit, you can wiggle it through. -For placement of the joystick circuit board, look at the 4th picture of this post. To make sure everything fits, you can bend the contacts of the wire downwards (can also be seen in the 4th picture). -Plug the USB adapter end into the slot labeled J5. -Finally, you can glue the lid to the bottom with either double-sided tape (temporary) or super glue (permanent). Software Setup: -For this, you only need a piece of software called JoyToKey. -Download link: joytokey.net/en/download -Setup guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6Qh-8CL0f8. Something not shown in the tutorial which you can do is add multiple key presses to a button at once. To do this, just add another keystroke in the box under the first keystroke when pressing a button. That's it! Any advice in the comments is welcome and if you want, you can donate.
