Hah, that's awesome. Seems like it would look weird but it looks great! How do they feel?

They fill good. I've never seen anyone do this before. The buttons are actually out of a Tony hawk board for Xbox 360.

I like the look of those, I like how they are actually labelled with A,B,X,Y. I have some buttons from HHL and they are only labelled with A, and B. It's a small thing, but it annoys me that my X, and Y buttons show A, and B.

Yeah that's why I wanted to use them because if the BAXY are under the buttons. It makes it look real premium.

Looks pretty nice. Another nice thing about those buttons is the transparency. It is a shame you are using a semi transparent case. Otherwise, I would have recommended cutting out the button wells with a dremel and epoxying in place.

Looks good! Nice discovery that the xbox buttons are pretty much the right size. :)

Excellent! I was thinking about this while perusing Goodwill for donor parts....
Makes me kind of want to try to wacky ovoids on the original X-box controller...would have to patch up or custom make a new case..
