Adafruit Mini I2C Gamepad with seesaw - STEMMA QT / Qwiic
We have ✅ 5 available of the AF-5743 in our Sydney warehouse.
The Adafruit Mini I2C Gamepad is a compact controller breakout with a 2-axis thumb joystick and 6 momentary buttons (4 large, 2 small), all communicating over I2C via the seesaw co-processor. It doesn't use any of your GPIO or analogue pins — just connect via STEMMA QT / Qwiic and start reading inputs immediately.
The seesaw chip handles the two analogue joystick axes and six digital button inputs, converting everything to a clean I2C interface that works with any microcontroller or microcomputer — even those without analogue inputs. An optional interrupt pin alerts your board when a button state changes.
