So called “leverless” controllers are popular among fighting game enthusiasts for their speed and accuracy compared to traditional lever-style joysticks. Build your own with the QT Py RP2040 and GP2040-CE firmware.

Mini arcade buttons mounted to a 3D printed case (or BYOB(ox)) make for a playable, ergonomic design. And by wiring the buttons to the QT Py Terminal Block BFF using quick-connect cables, you can keep the build manageable and nearly solder-free — the only soldering required is the QT Py header pins.

Since the GP2040-CE firmware can be configured from a web browser, this project is essentially code free — just drag and drop the UF2 and you’re ready to play.
