Controllers
List alphabetically.
- Atari Ultimate Arcade Fightstick USB Dual Joystick with Trackball 2 Player Game Controller Powered by Raspberry Pi 3B+
- More than just a controller, since it includes the Pi, but there's versions that are available without it.
- I did swap out the buttons with EG STARTS 6X Happ Type Standard Push Buttons with Micro Switch so that I could get some different colors.
- Also picked up some Baolian Concave Button - Silver Chrome and Baolian brand one and two-player buttons (white and black).
- Finally, put some LoveRPi Performance Heatsink Set for Raspberry Pi 3 B+ heatsinks on the Pi itself.
- Buffalo iBuffalo Classic USB Gamepad for PC
- These have gotten expensive since I picked them up in 2015 and 2016. Work well with RetroPie.

- Haven't plugged this in yet to try it out.
- Pimoroni Picade Console Controller Kit (PIM106)
- Picked mine by through the adafruit site, which has a newer version available.
- Haven't written a full review, but the arcade buttons on this aren't that good.
- Vilros Retro Gaming Classic USB Gamepad Set
- Out of stock everywhere, but may eventually come back to stock on their site (main link above) or on Amazon.
- Picked up two sets of these back in 2019.
