I'm about to build my first GBZ (yay) and I'm planning to add x/y buttons.
What I found curious is that no shop at AliExpress and co. are selling buttons that have x/y marked on them like we have with a and b. My immediate thought was to 3d print them but even there I didn't find anything (I found "clean" buttons but I don't know if they'll fit a GBA).
Does anyone know where I can find x/y buttons or models for 3d printing x and y buttons?
Thanks in advance
Is there 3d model of x/y buttons?
Re: Is there 3d model of x/y buttons?
Yeah, those aren't that common. I think most users wanting to differentiate all the buttons use the red/yellow/green/blue super famicom theme.
There are some on Thingiverse. The quality will really depend on your printer and whether you mind doing some sanding to improve them:

If you want to go high-end, I'd recommend something more like this:

Thanks!
Is there a way to know if the buttons will fit GBA? I know the GBA buttons have some pins coming out of them that "lock" them in place, but I don't know if their placement is unique to GBA or not

You could always by the boxy pixel buttons that are blank-

That's a valid option, though I do prefer a/b x/y buttons.
EDIT: Oh wow, I didn't know boxy pixel is for Gameboy Advance, thanks for the link!
