Sorry can the MakeCode Arcade Shoebox Controller work on a chromebook or does it need to be an actual computer?

Hi Misterh79!

You should be able to use the shoebox controller with a Chromebook as long as the Chromebook you’re using has a way to connect to the shoebox controller, like a USB port. Hope that helps!

Best,
