Which arduino do I need for this...?

Hello,

I bought an UNO, but now I'm not sure if it is the right board. I want to make a button box joystick using 13 momentary/toggle switches, 3 dpdt toggles, 2 three position switches, 2 rotary encoders with push button function, and 1 dimmer/volume knob for LEDS. Can the UNO do this, or an even better question is... what is the easiest board to do it?

Someone said UNO can't, and I need Leonardo or micro, but what do you say?

Thank you so much!

You need a leo/micro/due or other (higher end) micro with native usb in order to pretend to be a joystick.

You'll need to matrix the switches if using one that doesn't have... a lot more i/o pins than an uno. I count 29 i/o pins there?

Great, thanks! Of coarse UNO has a usb port, but are you saying it is not native usb...or yes it is?

Edit: ignore that question. I found a chart showing all the boards features. thanks again!

I'm liking the Due, and see that it's system voltage is 3.3 volts. It does have a 5v pin, and I want to use 5v leds.

Should I be concerned about the 3.3 volts?
