A handy USB interface board for connection to a S 1147 joystick and up to 12 arcade buttons. It connects into any device that supports a USB joystick. Includes pre-terminated interface leads with 6.3mm spade plugs. This board appears as a simple driverless USB interface, recognised by most operating systems as a HID. For full wiring information, there are a number of online guides available depending on the arcade project you are building.

Hi Shane,

Yes you can, they’re just cables with a JST XH connector on one end, and 3/16" (0.187", 4.8mm) spade terminals on the other, so they’re pretty easy to make up yourself using:

> **[2-Pin Female JST XH-Style Cable (15cm)](https://core-electronics.com.au/2-pin-female-jst-xh-style-cable-15cm.html)**
>
> This 6

And

Or you can get them online here:

Hey there, @Patrick157272, and welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here.

Yep, I can confirm that the [USB Interface for Joystick and Buttons](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/CE07542) includes the detachable USB lead and all 10 pluggable leads with spade terminals for arcade buttons. I grabbed the item off the shelf to confirm. Essentially, everything seen here:
