How about controlling your robot with a remote you programmed yourself? If your answer is yes, meet the Micro:bit-based specially designed game controller. You will be able to control your projects as you wish with this controller, which has the joystick, buttons and features that we are accustomed to seeing from the new generation game controllers.

There is 1 joystick and 7 buttons on the joystick where you can assign different tasks. Vibration motor, buzzer and LED on the remote are other components that you can program.
