DIY Nintendo Switch Pro Controller using a Microcontroller

I made a DIY Nintendo Switch (and other platform) controller using a raspberry pi Pico board. I don't expect many (if any) will make this as you would need to make a PCB (I will have the gerber files and a parts list linked) and solder everything to it. however this was a personal project of mine that I had a good deal of fun making.

This project would allow a Raspberry Pi Pico to control a Nintendo Switch (or other console that accepts a USB game pad) using button and joystick inputs connected to the Pico's GPIO pins. you can find more information and the code and files at the link below.

All the parts should print out fine. if you are making one I attached the R, L, ZR, and ZL buttons using filament as a hinge. the last picture shows a shot of that. you may have to lightly sand the parts and or filament to get it to fit correctly. other than that I used some screws that I had lying around to hold the board to the top shell and then the grips slid on and hold it all together.
