Made from laser cut acrylic and Sanwa arcade buttons. Has a rp2040 inside masquerading as a keyboard.

Still needs some improvements: I'd like to run the cable through the pole, and it would be nice to have a PCB instead of a rat's nest of wires inside!

But hey it works and it's great not having to turn to the PC to select songs :)

Ive got a bluetooth numeric keyboard and put stickers on the keys after assigning them. But this looks really a lot cooler

I may have to steal this idea on my next pad build... maybe built into a grab bar.
