# PyBadge GamePad
## Overview
https://youtu.be/I6P-7q-skiM
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!
An easy to copy and paste list of parts used in this project.
