Makey Makey Retro Joystick Invention Launchpad

Build your own arcade-style joystick from laser cut wood, real arcade buttons and a few bolts, then wire it to a Makey Makey and play. A printed zine walks you through each step and explains the simple circuits behind it. When it works, plug it into Selfie Arcade, an online game platform where you can drop your own photos into classic arcade games.
