Strangely enough, all I can find are conductive pads for the ds lite. The few ones I found aren't in the colour I want.
Am I looking properly?

This seller has some... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Buttons-A ... 0T9jd1QC5g
This is a slightly bigger screen, but it should still fitSirlias wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2017 8:19 amWhere in the world are you finding a TFT that will work for $6? Plus this build is no good without a battery and therefore a Powerboost is needed. It would be awesome if it could be built for under $50 though.moosepr wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2017 1:54 amWell the zero will physically fit in that tin, but you will have to sacrifice on the screen size. I did start thinking when someone else mentioned it. The lid doesn't seem to hinge from what I can tell on gwegle image searches, so that might stop things a littleThe Jack of Clubs wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2017 10:42 pmhow much do you think itll cost to put one of these together?
also wermy, buy one of these and make it fit -> http://a.co/cbJoXYt
The pricing shouldn't to too expensive.
Zero w $10
Tft $6 ish
Tin (technically free if you have eaten the mints)
Buttons should only be a few dollars
Then it's just wires and 3d printing
How about DSi buttons? They are probably way more common but I think they use tactile buttons rather than rubber pads.wermy wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2017 9:36 amThis seller has some... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Buttons-A ... 0T9jd1QC5g
But yeah I'm not seeing as many as before. :\ Hopefully I didn't cause a run on them. You can search for "DS Lite Shell" and a lot more results come up. It'll be an whole DS Lite shell, but will include the buttons too. It's a couple bucks more (like $10 total) but there are a lot more options that way. Even some on amazon.
Question about buttons, I have found some buttons on ebay, but I was wondering if you also used the DS lite shoulder buttons (or some other tactile type button?), just wondering if I need to buy the shoulder buttons, triggers, and springs etc...or just the ABXY and directions.wermy wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2017 9:36 amThis seller has some... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Buttons-A ... 0T9jd1QC5g

Nope, I do not use the shoulder buttons -- just a couple of tactile switches that poke out the back a bit so they are nice and discreet. I suppose you could work out a way to use the shoulder buttons if you really wanted to, but cutting/modifying the tin is very difficult to do cleanly. Little round holes for the tact switches are much easier.rodocop wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2017 12:18 pmQuestion about buttons, I have found some buttons on ebay, but I was wondering if you also used the DS lite shoulder buttons (or some other tactile type button?), just wondering if I need to buy the shoulder buttons, triggers, and springs etc...or just the ABXY and directions.
I'm pumped to build this, respond if you have a chance, otherwise I will just wait for the guide.
That's good to know, didn't really know how well the shoulder buttons would work. Plus I have a bunch of tactile switches already.wermy wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2017 12:31 pmNope, I do not use the shoulder buttons -- just a couple of tactile switches that poke out the back a bit so they are nice and discreet.
