    Nice! I think I’ll pick one of those up. I guess I’ll need to get a power button separately though, correct?

    [quote=107286]If you want to, use the minipac from ultimarc, https://www.ultimarc.com/minipac.html, plug and play via usb for 2 players, plus spinner and trackball, and go to focus attack for the buttons and joystick. http://www.focusattack.com, this is how mine ended up

    Interesting! So I’m assuming the way that works is I would program what key each pin corresponds to using their software on my PC then when I plug it into the Pi via USB it will simply function like a keyboard, correct?

    Also, the one concern that immediately comes to mind when looking at the ControlBlock is the fact that it sits right on top of the CPU. I would think this wouldn’t be ideal for airflow, but I’m guessing it could simply be wired separately instead of the default stacking configuration. Is this even a valid concern though?
