So did I. You should be aware that reading data input from a game controller requires the [hid] object, which currently only works in Linux. There&#39;s always [hidin] in windows, but it&#39;s much less reliable. Also, if you plan on using pots in the future, be aware that cheap controllers often have cheap &quot;analog&quot; pots which may turn out to be quite unusable in Pd. <br>

When I needed a bunch of footswitches, I hacked a EUR 10 game controller and replaced the button contacts with large jacks for plugging in keyboard sustain pedals, along with the [hid] object. Very reliable!<br>
