The Electric Underground's video: The SECRET of PADHACKING How To Make a 30 Bluetooth Nintendo Switch Upgrade to Your Arcade Stick

The SECRET of PADHACKING! How To Make a $30 Bluetooth Nintendo Switch Upgrade to Your Arcade Stick! In today's video I show you how to turn a $25 Bluetooth controller into the brain (PCB) of your arcade stick. This is much cheaper than buying a full $200 stick or a $90 brooks board (though the Brooks board is great). Shout outs to Shmup Junkie for testing the input lag of the Retrobit Sega Saturn pad for Nintendo Switch!
