Given the price of the various Hitbox type controllers, even before postage and duty are added, I thought it would be an interesting project to whip together some sort of Ghetto gamepad using a cheap Pico and the excellent [GP2040 firmware](https://gp2040.info/). Grabbing the [fighting board](https://shop.feralai.com/product/pico-fighting-board/) unfortunately wasn't possible at the time of building/writing but the parts can be soldered directly to the Pico anyway.

My main criteria were: small, cheap, print as much of the pad as possible. I deviated from this slightly as without a plexiglass back I could have probably reduced the overall depth by a further 5mm. Even so, the finished gamepad is 210 x 160 x 30.

Parts:
1 x Raspberry Pi Pico
11 x Generic Cherry Mx Red Switches (note about these below)
6 x Buttons for menus etc (I used cheap 6mm momentary buttons)
Wire and Solder
Plexiglass for back. Not 100% necessary but can look nice.
