Can i ask how did you do the trigger buttons on the back. I have the same idea. But still trying to figure out how to mount them. Greets Mike
Yeah no problem. This is the third time ive done the like this now.

See here for my second build with some pics etc.

I basically used the same step up drill bit that i used to drill the button holes just on a very slight angle. You'll need to clear away some of the internal moulding with a dremmel until the buttons push through from the inside. You'll have to use your judgement on that.

Once you're happy, while it's not everybody's cup of tea you need to glue them in place. Like I've said before, be careful not to glue the inner lip of the button to the case. Just be creative with your glue gun and build some up in layers.

Only other tip is make sure your Pi in the other half of the case is sitting low and flush if you plan on exposing the HDMI. I say this because it its too high, connected wires etc will push down too hard on the buttons and possibly prevent you clicking them.

Good luck!
