## Description

This tiny PCB connects to your PC, Mac, or Linux machine via a standard USB micro B cable, and appears as a USB games controller (HID interface). Then it's just a matter of adding some blingy [arcade buttons](https://core-electronics.com.au/#) and a [joystick](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=joystick) as input. Great for making custom user interfaces, arcade setups, or interfacing with basic button-like sensors.

Your buttons and joystick plug into Player X with male DuPont connectors (jumper jerky), which you'll find on one end of Pimoroni's [wiring loom](https://core-electronics.com.au/pimoroni-picade-wiring-loom-version-2.html).

Player X PCBs are also stackable, using [M2.5 standoffs](https://core-electronics.com.au/brass-m2-5-standoffs-for-pi-hats-black-plated-pack-of-2.html), so you can use it to build two-, three-, or even four-player controllers! Super Smash party all night!
