@mcc I heard like two days ago about a device in an arcade machine form factor that make musical beat.
There are some obvious differences, a modern gamepad would have 4 or 6 analog input. Being just software and gamepads make it much more easier to store and transport. The arcade machine is a commercial device with a 5 digits price tag.
