About this model

Full Guide: In this project, we’re making GamePads for the Adafruit PyBadge. PyBadge is great for conferences but it also makes a really nice gaming device! You can make gaming sessions more comfortable with a 3D printed thumbpad and buttons! The case is designed to house a bigger 3d printed thumbpad and buttons. You can even use flexible filaments for a softer touch with a bit more grip. We designed three difference cases for the back of the PyBadge to fit the header version and the PyBadge LC model. The PyBadge LC is a lot more slimmer without the headers and connectors. A third version of the case includes cutouts to connect FeatherWings!
