ACEBOTT Micro:bit Handle Kit BBC Micro:bit V2 -kortilla (QD026)

Young makers and STEM students use the ACEBOTT Micro:bit Handle Kit to build a handheld game controller and robotics interface around the included BBC micro:bit V2. The modular handle snaps together from durable ABS plastic and provides an analog joystick, eight programmable buttons, and a potentiometer for interactive coding projects.

Key specifications

• Micro:bit memory: 512 KB flash, 128 KB RAM
• Wireless: Bluetooth 5.1
• Onboard micro:bit sensors: accelerometer, magnetometer, temperature, touch-sensitive logo
• Onboard micro:bit peripherals: 5x5 LED matrix, microphone, speaker
• Handle inputs: analog joystick, 8 programmable buttons, potentiometer
• Expansion: dedicated ports for servos/motors, GPIO breakout pins
• Power: handle requires 2x AAA batteries (not included); micro:bit powered via USB or included 2x AAA battery pack
• Programming: Microsoft MakeCode (block/JavaScript), Python
• Compatibility: BBC micro:bit V1 and V2
• Material: durable ABS plastic
• Assembly: user assembly required
• Recommended age: 8+ years

Why choose it

This kit turns the micro:bit into a physical game controller and robotics handle, making coding tangible. The included V2 board adds a microphone, speaker, and touch logo, so students can create sound-reactive games and interactive projects without extra parts.

Ideal use cases

• STEM classrooms teaching block-based or Python coding
• Building custom game controllers for MakeCode Arcade games
• Robotics projects requiring joystick and button inputs
• Hobbyist experimentation with servo and motor control

Good to know

The handle is powered by two AAA batteries (not included), while the micro:bit can run from USB or the included battery pack. Assembly is required, making it a hands-on learning experience from the start.
