Needless to say, I'm using these Joy-Cons that someone was gonna trash as my (100% free)shortcut keyboard. I cannot stop nerding out about how cool this is, and how excited I am to fully integrate these into my art-making process! I did buy a grip that can charge the Joy-Cons while you use them but like $12 bucks for so so many buttons, is a great deal in my opinion.

This was my first go round of button mapping, after I'd done my initial assignments, I realized that there are 3 additional inputs for pressing a single button in quick succession 1>2>3>4 so each button can have up to 4 inputs mapped to it at once! How wild is that! So I may rework this entire chart to better utilize that feature! But it's so cool how many shortcuts these Joy-Cons can give me quick access to! And with my very thin connector piece, it's super simple to hold these both in one hand, or sit them on my desk or lap, I believe I got it off of Etsy but that was many years ago, so I no longer know what the shop name is. Sorry :/
