From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Get some arcade game buttons and build your own controller. Those buttons are tough, so you should have a much harder time breaking them. You can hook it all up to an Arduino Pro Micro and program it to appear as a USB HID device. There are also dedicated arcade game input boards if you don't want to program anything.
Agreed, the DIY arcade stick / fighting game controllers community has the most robust hardware and its not expensive, either!
