GP2040-CE
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

If my budget is ~$100 should I try to make my own hitbox or try to buy one?
Hey, actually I designed my own hitbox a while ago and I think the design would fit your needs if you think it'd be something you want:

Building a USB SNES Controller
If you're making a home made arcade stick, check out the GP2040-CE project - https://github.com/OpenStickCommunity/GP2040-CE
It's got low latency and good compatibility for a bunch of platforms. Even some compatibility for PS4.

I have a problem with the chat
My advice is to rework your mixbox, as it is pretty much the only long-term solution. Personally, I would swap out the keyboard microcontroller and instead wire your keyswitches to a PiPico running the GP2040-CE firmware. That way you can easily remap the keys, as well as select between your controller acting one of these:

MaplePad – RP2040 Dreamcast controller, VMU, and Purupuru (rumble pack) emulator
Talking about RP2040 powered controller firmware. GP2040 is an amazing project, which is used a lot in the Fighting Game Community where custom controllers are common. https://github.com/OpenStickCommunity/GP2040-CE

Choosing a Brooks board
you can connect to it the same way as a brook pcb (without soldering), and its firmware is far more customizable with great input latency test results. you can read about the firmware here: https://github.com/OpenStickCommunity/GP2040-CE

My "free" DIY hitbox
congrats on the build & thank you for sharing your experience! if I may suggest you to take a look at the open source project using the Raspberry Pi Pico and other boards based on the RP2040 microcontrollers. https://github.com/OpenStickCommunity/GP2040-CE
- Best Daemonbite alternative?

Concept: Slime All Button Controller
In theory, one would only need to use the Pi Pico (Using the CP2040-CE Firmware), since many play fighting games on PC; At least, that I am aware of. This, along with a few other things, would make it an "okay" controller at best, IMO.

DIY CrossUp Questions
I suspect GP2040-CE will pretty soon have some capability to switch between profiles on the fly, though of course you can never predict these things with volunteer open source development. In any case, I'd recommend GP2040-CE as an option over the Brook. You can buy a Pico breakout such as this one for cheaper than the Brook & have access to all sorts of cool features now and in the future.
