A quick update has been released for GP2040-CE (Community Edition), a gamepad firmware designed for the Raspberry Pi Pico and other boards based on the RP2040 microcontroller .

GP2040-CE combines cross-platform compatibility, low latency, and an extensive feature set, offering endless customization possibilities without compromising performance.

The module is compatible with PC, PS3, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Steam Deck, MiSTer and Android.

GP2040-CE (Community Edition) is available for purchase on AliExpress at a price of 16.70 euros . The kit includes all the cables needed to assemble an arcade controller.

The update introduces several improvements, including input latency optimizations , keyboard host fixes , and user interface improvements .

Added support for the Ultimarc Ultrastik 360 , a new responsive layout , improved hotkey handling , optimized LED animations , bug fixes on Xbox One Multiplayer and other new features for the RGB Case and Mini Menu management .

Additionally, several hardware configurations have been updated , such as the DuelPad Zen, Haute42|COSMOX, Open_Core0 and BentoBox , as well as implementing improvements to the Gamepad Inputs functions and display options for the digital/analog sticks .

Incompatibilities with unknown UF2 URL downloads have also been resolved and data export capabilities improved .

The update also includes a return to the GP2040-CE boot logo , as well as general code and setup optimizations.
