The expression read3 + " input" performs pointer arithmetic, i.e. you either add 0 or 1 to the start adress of " input", so you get either " input" or "input". Does the leading space disappear when pressing the button?

To correct your code you can print the number separately:

Serial.print(read3);
Serial.println(" input");

You should get rid of the rest and pub-sub code. You can add this later after having solved the problem with the button.

Also note that GPIO03 uses the same pin as RX. The docs state the following:

Serial uses UART0, which is mapped to pins GPIO1 (TX) and GPIO3 (RX).

So it should work after disabling Serial and after providing a pull down resistor.

So it should work after disabling Serial and after providing a pull down resistor. The resistor is needed to prevent having a floating input.
