I wonder if there could be some caching here, so that if we want to check 5 different buttons, we don't make 5 separate calls to the seesaw.

What if there was just a buttons property, that would return a named tuple of True/False values for all the buttons at once? Then you could do:

buttons = wing.buttons
if buttons.right:
    ...
elif buttons.left:
    ...


@property
def display(self):
"""
Returns the display object for doing fun displayio stuff on
"""

Is there any reason for this to be a property and not a straightforward attribute?
