“Very tiny and compact. Linking it to the Inventor 2040W board was very simple using a short QW/ST to QW/ST cable. The QW/ST JST-SH cable is essential to connect the controller up to anything else.
It works very well with the Pimoroni Pico UF2 image file which contains the necessary driver and I would recommend flashing your Pico with this build rather than a generic MicroPython build.
It's really too small for serious gaming, but maybe fine for less demanding games. However, it's very handy as a general purpose keypad as it saves having to connect multiple external switches to a development board and greatly simplifies the code.”
“I like this nice small I2C controller very much. In fact it is the second I bought from Pimoroni. I had already experience with an Adafruit Seesaw Gamepad with 6 buttons and a joystick. This QwstPad controller however has ten buttons to use and four LEDs that one all can control; an I2C address you can chose off. You can also daisy chain connect the controlers because the board has two Qs/ST connectors. Yesterday I finished to write a port for C++ / Arduino and wrote a test sketch to show and check the working of my C++ library. The Pimoroni qwstpad-micropython I used as an example to port to C++. Thanks Pimoroni for excellent Products, service and all the software that you make available for your products. Btw: happy 13th anniverasary!”
“This is ace, plenty of buttons and some leds which is a bonus. All it needs is 3d printed case and you've got a nice little controller for your home brew games console. Please make a Picosystem 2 using this and the new big screen found on the Explorer”
