My L R buttons ideas

[skrapps914]

Had a spare broken yellowed case hanging around decided to make use of it
Made "L R buttons" to match the gameboy shell
I'm thinking I'm gonna use them as caps on tactile buttons

I like it! I've been thinking of an alternative to the little buttons I am using I feel they will hurt my fingers the longer I play
Shame I don't have a spare shell..

this is a good idea as well! the way mine are placed, it feels natural with holding the gameboy to me, the LR buttons will fit right into the curves of my finger bends, so i dont have to stretch or use my fingertips at all.

I like your approach. Did you have the time to test it while playing? Does it feel natural?

Not yet. Haven't had time to work on it since the last pictures. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have some time
