D-pad compatible with original DMG

Post by Gauffre » Wed Jun 06, 2018 11:42 am

Hi everyone,

I have been struggling to find the perfect color for my D-pad, something that would go well with the theme I am trying to respect for my build. Finally, I found a Nintendo Switch controller with the perfect Dpad. Ordered it, opened the controller and... The D-pad stands out waaaay too much out of the DMG.

Do you guys know what controllers have a D-pad sized similarly to the DMG? I know the Super NES controller does, but apart from this one?

Thanks

NES ones should work as well. Not sure what else.

The Nes one works, but it sticks out quite a bit more than the DMG one.

It didn't work. Way too bulky. But I have started carving one from a switch controller that I am going to stick on the base of a snes one. We will see if that does the trick.
