Can I use SNES controller parts for my raspberry pi?

Question

I am planning on making a handheld console for a school project. I am new to raspberry pi and plan on using the raspberry pi 3 model b. Can I use the buttons and dpad out of a SNES controller?

Answer 1

You want to reuse the controller? You can use a usb snes controller. If not want to use a usb controller, you can wire the snes controller to the gpio, there is how to here.
