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 bare 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 on 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 its a tight fit you can wiggle it through. -For placement of the joystick circuit board look at 4th picture of this post. To make sure everything fits you can bend the contacts of the wire downwards ( can also seen in the 4th picture) -Plug the USB adapter end into the slot labelled J5. -Finally you can glue the lid two the bottom with either double sided tape(temp.) 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.
