During my semester break, I found my old video game with the zapper gun. So, we decided to convert that old zapper gun into a keyboard key controller with the use of Pi Pico because it has the HID capability. So that we can use this zapper gun as any keyboard key or keyboard shortcut key for performing any action.
For example:
1. To play the chrome Dino game
2. To Control Google/Zoom meet
3. For changing the presentation slide
4. And you can perform any keyboard or mouse action by just changing the shortcut key.

The Zapper Gun's trigger button (Push Button) has connected to the digital pin of Pi pico.
The LED and buzzer are connected to another digital pin of the pi pico. So, when we trigger the zapper gun (OR when the push button read the high voltage), then the gun performs the same keyboard key/shortcut key action which we have put in the program, and with this, the buzzer & LED started blinking and gun trigger performs the action.
