Easily mountable game pad
I see lots of tutorials to build portable game emulators but almost all of them involve tearing up an existing game controller. It would be great if adafruit designed and built a four way directional pad that could be mounted in a case. Maybe even a set of buttons that mount the same way? It would save a lot of time in building game controllers. I think even Ben Heck would buy them if you made them.

Re: Easily mountable game pad
The reason we go with the 'cut up a game pad' is that custom molding and elastomers cost $10,000+ its just so much easier and cheaper to cut up a $5 controller :)
