Makey-Makeys or micro::bits cost money, what's your point?

well probaly not as much as a gamepad cause you need to buy the consle to get the gamepad

Still, my point still stands. They still cost money, and some projects force you to use them.

I 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.
Imagine how much programming and time would be needed JUST to make an extension that anyone will barely use.

Yes! Also, you don't even need to buy a MakeyMakey controller to play projects.
You just need your keyboard… and that's it!

I meant that there are extensions in Scratch that cost money, like the lego extensions and all.
obviously the makeymakey is stillworth it

I don't think it would be as much as you think.
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

ok so I'm back could this controller work? : https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61uBflPaWaL._AC_SX679_.jpg Its a steam controller so maybe it would be a little bit easier to function?

Lol its a steam controller but some coding could be the same since It DOES the same layout of a Xbox controller i mean it could be easier since its made for pcs

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!
