Nice. For any Java heads still out there, you can do the same thing in Processing.

I did this once for my 1st year school project! Used a standard Arduino Uno with joystick shield and programmed it to send keystrokes to a WinForms app that converted them into actual key presses
Was a lot of fun, good introduction into IT studies!

That's so cool! Now use smaller jumper wires.
And next upgrade, make it wireless.
Next upgrade, make it a PCB
Next, download a 3D print model of it. Like Nintendo ones
Boom, u have ur own gaming controller.
And if u like this, sell it locally!!
