Have USB controllers added to extensions
(#1305)yeah its a good idea also just why pay that much to play like a few gamesI agree. Another reason why Scratch should not add USB controllers (even though I think this is a great idea) is not just money, but also TIME.Still, my point still stands. They still cost money, and some projects force you to use them.(#1299)well probaly not as much as a gamepad cause you need to buy the consle to get the gamepadMakey-Makeys or micro::bits cost money, what's your point? this would all be great but scratch is free and to have a gamepad (xbox ps4 etc.) you need to pay money for the consle and probaly some games would NEED the gamepad to play
Imagine how much programming and time would be needed JUST to make an extension that anyone will barely use.

Thrift stores and eBay: exist(#1299)well probaly not as much as a gamepad cause you need to buy the consle to get the gamepadMakey-Makeys or micro::bits cost money, what's your point? this would all be great but scratch is free and to have a gamepad (xbox ps4 etc.) you need to pay money for the consle and probaly some games would NEED the gamepad to play
Also, there are joypad emulators that use the keyboard. I even proposed one built into this feature not 5 pages ago.

JUST to make an extension that anyone will barely use.I don't think it would be as much as you think. Imagine how much programming and time would be needed
Sure it would still take some time, but many would use it.
You can get cheap third-party controllers for like $20, basically the same price as a micro:bit yeah its a good idea also just why pay that much to play like a few games

(#1317)well since there so cheap that means most of them are bad but micro::bit is fine for this cause micro is so tinyJUST to make an extension that anyone will barely use.I don't think it would be as much as you think. Imagine how much programming and time would be needed

2. It's not really controller support. It's just basically emulating a keyboard. This means pressure sensitive buttons, like triggers and analog sticks, won't work well if at all.
Yes! That's exactly why I want this support! It would make playing on controllers better on Scratch, and without any add-ons!
