Abstract
A parallelepiped-shaped body has a flat top surface on which a user draws computer simulation controller buttons with a layout and spacing best fitting the user's physical needs. The user connects wires in the body to random GPIOs and maps the drawn buttons to desired game controller functions using an off-the-shelf controller connected to an MCU by pressing drawn buttons on the body along with corresponding buttons on the off-the-shelf controller, establishing which drawn button has which game controller function.
