An Arduino library that lets an Arduino Leonardo, Micro, or other ATmega32u4-based board appear as one or more USB HID joysticks or gamepads. It supports buttons, hat switches, and multiple axes with up to 16-bit precision.
Use cases
- turn an Arduino Leonardo into a USB gamepad
- build a custom flight simulator throttle and rudder controller
- map physical buttons and potentiometers to joystick axes
- create a DIY steering wheel or racing pedal HID device
- emulate multiple joysticks from one Arduino board
- build custom HID controllers for flight sims
When to choose
- you need a custom physical controller that Windows/macOS/Linux sees as a standard joystick
- you are using a 32u4-based board like Leonardo or Micro
- you want configurable buttons, hat switches, and high-precision axes
When to avoid
- you are using an Arduino UNO, MEGA, or other non-32u4 board
- you need keyboard or mouse emulation only (the built-in Arduino Keyboard/Mouse libraries suffice)
- you need Bluetooth wireless gamepad output
