Arduino UNO Q SBC Controller Bundle turns four Modulino nodes into a mouse-and-keyboard control surface

Arduino has announced the UNO Q SBC Controller Bundle, a kit for building physical controls that navigate the UNO Q's Linux desktop in place of a standard mouse and keyboard. It pairs the UNO Q 4GB, which Arduino calls a "dual-brain" board, with four Modulino nodes: Buttons, Joystick, Knob and Pixels. The components connect through Arduino App Lab, the company's development environment. The bundle is listed on Arduino's US store at $107.76, marked 10% off an original $119.73, as of October 20, 2026. The listing can be added to the cart but gives no explicit stock status.

What is in the box, and what is not

The store listing gives the contents:

1 x dual-brain board: UNO Q 4GB
1 x Modulino Buttons
1 x Modulino Joystick
1 x Modulino Knob
1 x Modulino Pixels

Pixels provides visual feedback. Buttons, Joystick and Knob are the inputs.

The enclosure is the part buyers are most likely to misread. It is a downloadable 3D-printable design, not a physical item in the kit, and Arduino says it can be printed as-is or modified. The files are attached to the companion Project Hub build as "stl files.zip" and "SBC.step", so the STEP file can be opened in CAD for changes.

The announcement lists three optional accessories that are not in the bundle:

Arduino USB-C Hub (8 in 1), which adds HDMI, Ethernet and extra USB ports
Arduino USB-C Power Supply (45W)
Arduino USB-C Cable (24 pin)

How the controller works

The software is documented in an Arduino Project Hub build published by Arduino_Genuino under the GPL3+ license and dated June 30, 2026. Its summary: "Turn physical Modulino inputs into mouse movements and keystrokes on the UNO Q, with a live web UI for full configuration." The UNO Q runs as a single-board computer, and Arduino App Lab is listed as the project's software tool. Arduino says the input mappings can be reconfigured and compatible components swapped in.

The Project Hub page lists the hardware by part number:

Component	Part number
UNO Q 4GB	ABX00173
Modulino Joystick	ABX00135
Modulino Buttons	ABX00110
Modulino Knob	ABX00107
Modulino Pixels	ABX00109

The build also lists the UNO Q 2GB (ABX00162) among its components. The retail bundle contains only the 4GB board.

Where it fits

This is not Arduino's first UNO Q bundle built around a single project. In July, CNX Software covered the UNO Q Arcade Bundle, which paired the UNO Q 4GB with Modulino Joystick, Buttons and Movement. That kit also shipped without an enclosure, relying on open-source 3D-printable files instead. CNX noted that the UNO Q needs an external USB-C hub for HDMI out, USB ports and power passthrough, plus a power supply, and that neither came with the Arcade Bundle. The SBC Controller Bundle follows the same pattern: it swaps Movement for Knob and Pixels, supplies a printable case design, and leaves the hub and power supply as separate purchases.

What It Means for Makers

The bundle is aimed at people who want a dedicated physical control surface for software running on the UNO Q's Linux side. Arduino's own examples are Home Assistant dashboards, retro games and edge AI routines. The reference project ships with a web-based configuration UI, and because it is GPL3+, makers can fork it, with derivative work following that license.

Budget for more than the kit price. Driving a display, wired networking or extra USB devices goes through the optional 8-in-1 hub, and the 45W supply and 24-pin cable are also sold separately. The case has to be printed from the supplied files. Owners of an UNO Q 2GB can follow the Project Hub build with that board, since the project lists it, and source the four Modulino nodes individually. Assembly walkthroughs are on Arduino Project Hub.
