BongoTris is a custom controller adapting a set of Donkey Kong bongos to be compatible with the nintendo switch for playing Tetris 99. [This was before Nintendo added functionality for the remapping gamecube-compatible controllers with the switch]. My technical implementation involved finding a program online that reads gamecube controller inputs for visualizing them on twitch streams, and plugging that in to a custom HID USB project that runs on Arduino.
