I am creating an 11 button gamepad with a arduino leonardo for a game called clone hero which is like guitar hero. I have the gamepad working with a code i put together from examples ive found in videos. i can play the game. the problem is when its time for a chord or a long held chord, the inputs dont happen. it will press whatever button i pressed first and only for a brief second. attached is the code

#include <Keyboard.h>                                                                

int pinA = 2;                                       
int pinB = 3;
int pinC = 4;
int pinD = 5;
int pinE = 6;
int pinF = 7;                                       
int pinG = 8;
int pinH = 9;
int pinI = 10;
int pinJ = 11;
int pinK = 12;
void setup() {

pinMode(pinA, INPUT_PULLUP);                        
pinMode(pinB, INPUT_PULLUP);                        
pinMode(pinC, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(pinD, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(pinE, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(pinF, INPUT_PULLUP);                        
pinMode(pinG, INPUT_PULLUP);                        
pinMode(pinH, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(pinI, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(pinJ, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(pinK, INPUT_PULLUP);

}

void loop() {

  if (digitalRead(pinA) == LOW)                     
  {
    Keyboard.write('');                            
    delay(50);
  }

   if (digitalRead(pinB) == LOW)                     
  {
    Keyboard.write('A');                            
    delay(50);
  }
 if (digitalRead(pinC) == LOW)                     
  {
    Keyboard.write('S');                            
    delay(50);
  }
 if (digitalRead(pinD) == LOW)                     
  {
    Keyboard.write('J');                           
    delay(50);
  }
 if (digitalRead(pinE) == LOW)                     
  {
    Keyboard.write('K');                            
    delay(50);
  }
 if (digitalRead(pinF) == LOW)                     
  {
    Keyboard.write('L');                            
    delay(50);
  }
 if (digitalRead(pinG) == LOW)                     
  {
    Keyboard.write(' ');                            
    delay(50);
  }
 if (digitalRead(pinH) == LOW)                     
  {
    Keyboard.write('Q');                           
    delay(50);
  }
 if (digitalRead(pinI) == LOW)                     
  {
    Keyboard.write('P');                            
    delay(50);
  }
 if (digitalRead(pinJ) == LOW)                     
  {
    Keyboard.write(';');                            
    delay(50);
  }
 if (digitalRead(pinK) == LOW)                     
  {
    Keyboard.write('H');                            
    delay(50);
  }

Try this:

if (digitalRead(pinK) == LOW)                     
  {
    while(pinK == LOW)
    {
       Keyboard.write('H');                            
       delay(50);
     }
  }

You can solve this by putting all the buttons in an array and using bitwise logic (bitbashing) you can mask off whatever bits you are looking for. You can also save a lot of pins if you switch to shift registers PISO (Parallel in Serial out)
It would basically work just like the SNES controller.

just tried this and it did not work. lost all inputs

I have absolutely no clue what you just said haha. thats why id rather just pay someone to make the code for me. mine works just a few little kinks and i know i saw that delays in general are considered bad practice because it pauses the board entirely during the delay
so im hoping someone can just write it for me

PM sent. Let me know and I can get it knocked out tomorrow. It's bedtime here now.
