Extra buttons - Kyle - 2017-08-16 18:22

Hi guys,
Does anyone know anyway that I can get extra buttons that act as a joystick? I was wondering about getting an old controller, ripping it apart and resoldering the connections to different buttons and using a project box to act as a button box.

Does anyone know if there are any other ways though?

Cheers Smile

You could buy a button box from ebay if you really wanted to, or could use a ps3/xbox controller and use XPadder to program buttons to it.

XPadder is 6 pounds,

The prices are really ridiculous. Would be cheaper hiring a butler that presses the !chase button when you clap your hands twice.
