Hi! im sickly fish i have a question. I’m making a small little physical device for my makecode games, and I’m making a game that is 4 players, so in turn i need four controllers, however i cant seem to find any under hundred and i don’t feel like spending that much money on a small little makecode project. do you have any recommendations preferably under 40-50$

do you have something like an Xbox or PlayStation with usb connector. if so then you can hook it up to a device. you can also use nes controllers. also how are you making this device I’ve been trying for a while
