PiHut Controller Support¶

ThePiHut Controller¶

These are branded controllers that can be bought from thePiHut. They use a dongle, but are functionally very similar to the PS4 controllers, with analogue front triggers making them a step up in terms of controls from the Rock Candy and similar.

Supported by code added by Mike Horne (@recantha) from version 2.0.1 onwards.
