Find Your Home with the Granola Beacon

The Granola Beacon is the new high performance controller from Granola Arcade. The Beacon is the first controller available that uses GP2040-CE firmware and magnetic, "hall effect" buttons that give you unprecedented precision and control. With the removable acrylic top layer and charm loop, you can add custom artwork to your controller and customize it exactly how you want it.

The Beacon is designed, assembled, and ships from Seattle WA USA.

Magnetic Buttons!

The Beacon features Gateron Jade Pro Magnetic Switches for every button including the start/select/touchpad options. The buttons have a light and smooth travel (35gf for the nerds who know what that means) and a crisp "thock" sound as they bottom out.

Magnetic switches use "hall effect" sensors to measure the exact distance that the switch travels as it follows its range of motion. This has a few benefits over traditional mechanical switches:

• Customize the exact point in the travel where each button actuates. Set the buttons to respond to a feather touch or a full press, whatever your preference!
• Fewer parts that make mechanical contact increases the longevity of the buttons and makes them travel more smoothly. You'll feel the difference immediately.
• COMING SOON fancy features from analog keyboards such as "rapid trigger" will be made available over time in future firmware updates. Join the Granola discord for updates!

Console Support

Out of the box, the Beacon supportsPC, PS3, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, MiSTer and Android, as well as some classic consoles.With an additional USB converter or passthrough device (sold separately), you can also play on PS4, PS5, Xbox, Xbox One and Xbox Series. See the manual for more info on passthrough mode and converters.

Other Features

• Rigid and durable case, printed from PLA Pro. I am confident saying this is the highest quality printed case available - everything I've learned over the past several years designing controllers has allowed for the best fit and finish available in the medium.
• Removable clear acrylic top layer and charm loop with an included Granola charm gives you freedom to customize the look of your Beacon exactly how you want it. Download the art template from the Granola Discord to
