Building a Minimalistic MIDI Controller

I'm a beginner in all things Arduino and I've been working on an easy, fast, and cheap project to learn more about it. I built a DIY MIDI Controller for finger drumming inspired in the MIDI Fighter, using an Arduino Leonardo and 16 Sanwa arcade buttons. I designed and 3d printed a unibody enclosure inspired by the Mac Mini that exposes the electronics and needs no screws!

So cool. I'm planning something similiar, but I think I'll use a arduino pro micro and a multiplexer to save space.

[@jovinverghese4404]

I made one exactly like you showed in the video, but there are some troubles along the way:-
