My main piece of controller-making kit is called an I-PAC - it sits between the arcade buttons and the PC, telling the PC that it's a keyboard.
Notes
Notepad.exe - I use it to take notes, to plan my day, to get thoughts out, and to program the I-PAC keyboard encoders I use for custom controllers.
Coding & Development
As for games, I've been using Unity since my university days.
