how do i use this as just a regular usb number pad, i have no experince with eletronics at all what so ever. i want to make a version of this controller https://www.instructables.com/Atari-Combo-Controller/ , but with useing arcade parts for buttons like this https://www.amazon.com/Contest-Encoder … 9dHJ1ZQ== that uses a usb encoder for joystick and buttons , id like to use a usb spinner as well and just join the spinner, joystick, buttons , and key pad to a usb hub of sorts in the case i will use before going out to the pc i will be using it on. the joystick and buttons should be easy enough with instrutions and i think the encoder makes them basicaly plug and play , but the keypad im totaly lost as to what other hardware is needed to make it usb 3.0 pref but usb at all and no idea how to program so it just acts as a keyboard , because i will be useing emulators for instance like the 5200 which has numberpad inputs and i can just assign them using the emulator program itself but the keypad has to show up as a key pad in the first place how do i do any of this thanks to whoeveer wants to help this total and complete noob.
There’s a tutorial in the link below that shows how to do this but if you have no experience with electronics or writing software, it might be easier to just buy a ready made USB keypad and hack it to fit your project.
