Arcade Game on Pi3
I have a RaspberryPI3. I recently found some arcade buttons and joysticks in a box in my storage. What I am wanting to do is use the gpio pins of the pi to use the buttons. Is there a way I can do this?
This is the push button switch for the buttons The joystick has four of those switches in a roundabout

Yes, you can connect those microswitches to the GPIO in the same way as you would a push button switch.
They have three connections as shown in the picture. One marked NC, one marked NO and the other one should be marked C. Use the NO and C connections.
C = Common
NC = Normally Closed (Connected to Common when the switch isn't pressed)
NO = Normally Open (Connected to Common when the switch is pressed).
Just follow any example of how to connect buttons to the GPIOs and you'll be fine.
