imagine if you could change the buttons places and add more inputs (like buttons, dpads, a select button next to the menu button)… or even delete buttons!

i know, it wouldn’t work on actual hardware but it would be so cool if there was something like that.

@HalignionThunder adding the controller extension unlocks some of that extra hardware (accelerometer, neopixel leds, etc.) but i’m not sure if that second button is included…

@HalignionThunder no, like… i was thinking that it would be **not in actual hardware, in the editor.**

I’m pretty sure this would require a huge overhaul of makecode, so I’m going to make an educated guess we won’t be getting this feature since the team has a lot of more important stuff to worry about, like fixing bugs and other features ykyk
