man, i bet these buttons would look nice in a gbz!

It'd be a shame to sacrifice a 8bitdo controller imo.

There are a ton of aftermarket and third party controllers now days that look identical. You can use them and not feel bad about ruining a controller.

I've been trying to look for buttons that are identical with the letters engraved, but can't find any. do you know where i can get some like those?

I don't know if they're exactly the same size, I'd have to take apart my 360 controller and grab a caliper. But it is an idea to play with if you want to investigate it is using xbox 360 button replacements.

Red ABXY button

Not really everyones taste, but they do fit if you cut a little nub at the bottom.

It's a real shame that they can't make a red button bright red, not wine red! That crappy plastic, those colours they use just look cheap (I know as I bought them!!). I'm thinking of casting my own buttons....!!

I know, right?!
I thought of that too. Just some silicone, and the original buttons and you could do this.
But i have no experience in this topic and not much space to do it, either.

Hey dom, that sounds like an awesome how-to guide if you're willing to do it and have the means to document it. I'm sure people wouldn't mind trying making their own buttons if it's simple.

If I do it, then I will make a guide. I have already ordered 5 button sets to use as a mold and bought the condutive pads.
Now, apart from red and transparent red, what colours do you want?
