my next GBZ is a SNES inspired custom build.....
there either the wrong colors or they just don't fit right (slight smaller dimensions)
Exhibit B (lucy goosey buttons)
NB: not having a knock at anyones builds, these are just to prove a point....
i'm actually going to be using buttons that I've got from a original famicom controller......
they fit the holes of the DMG shell/case pretty good, and their obviously their right colors.....
others have used third party SNES styled controllers, but where as those have the colors pretty much on point, the dimensions are a bit off...
and the third option (this is where we get the funky colors), is that people have been buying Gameboy DMG buttons and trying to get the same color combination as the SNES (but end up with off greens and yellows)
the forth option, and the best at the moment if you dont want to buy a used original controllers is to get these buttons....

compared against the original super famicom....
repro on the top, originals on the bottom.....
now dimension & height wise there spot on, even the colors are pretty much identical...
also the originals have a marginal more curved top (dome) to the repro
NB: either with originals or repro, the SNES buttons as standard have a slightly shorter height to them than the original DMG buttons (again this is only noticeable when the two are side by side)
this may be useful to other, or not.....
but its just one of my little bug bears when i see SNES colorways on builds
and its IMHO

the only negatives, and this is only really noticeable when the two are side by side is that the originals have a bit more of a gloss to them (bearing in mind my original are used and must be around 20 years old if not older)Gameboy Dmg With Snes Lr Buttons Free

Description
This Gameboy Zero Super Famicom Basics kit includes the base parts you need to get started on your build.
The case included has all the holes cut and drilled, along with the screen area & battery bay cut out so all you have to do is assemble the build and do the soldering.
The LCD Bracket included comes with the pi holder built in allowing you to access the SD through the side of the case with no mods to the case needed. The bracket also has place holders for a teensy or equivalent and has holders for a Audio Pot wheel and USB port. It also holds the pi slightly allowing air flow under the Pi and helps keep your build nice and tidy inside.
Also included is our L&R Shoulder buttons kit giving your build a pre installed solution for your rear shoulder buttons as we drill the holes as part of the kit for you, so all you have to do is wire them up!
The kits includes all the following parts:
- 1 x Pre Cut Gameboy Shell
- 1x 5mm Gameboy Zero Glass Screen
- 1x 3D Printed LCD / Pi Holder
- 1x 3.5 mm Audio Jack
- 1x Gameboy Zero Audio Jack & Amp Bracket
- 1x Gameboy Zero Grey L&R Shoulder Rear Buttons kit
- 1x Gameboy Zero Super Famicom Button Pack
