ESP32-S3 SPI Version and Parallel Version Comparison:

ESP32-S3 TFT as USB HID:

This is the latest ESP32-S3 SPI TFT touch. Compares to the ESP32-S3 Parallel TFT with Touch, it takes much fewer pins of the ESP32-S3, so more pins can be reserved there, for application usage, such as connecting kinds of sensors, so this board can be used for applications such as local monitoring/display, and IoT connections to the cloud, for remote monitoring/controlling.

Compared to the ESP32 3.5" TFT Touch, the ESP32 S3 features advanced core Xtensa® dual-core 32-bit LX7, and Bluetooth 5.0, you can check the detailed comparison at: the ESP32 series comparison shows the detailed difference of ESP32/S2/S3, and the C series.

This 3.5" 320x480 TFT LCD driver is ILI9488, it uses standard SPI for communication with ESP32-S3, so the other IO of the controller can be used for external applications.
