If you like that specific click and you want to do this mod, you might want to find some slim tactile switches and maintain/replace the rubber membranes. The GBA SP has a thin rubber membrane between the plastic button and the tact switch, which cuts the slack a bit and turns the harsh clack of a metal dome striking a contact into a nice and refined click.

Having made a ton of portables, I greatly prefer the feel of soft tactile switches. They are somewhere between the abruptness of straight tact switches and the gumminess of deep membrane connections. I actually did the reverse of this mod recently on a third-party switch grip.
@arstulex Жыл бұрын
Soft tactile switches? What are they like? I think _ideal_ face buttons should feel kinda like those 'deep' power buttons you see on some appliances. The ones where there is some travel with springy tension followed by a click at the bottom (those ones where the button stays in a bit when it's toggled to the 'on' position), except they would of course be momentary instead of toggle. Is that what a soft tactile switch is like?

Yeah. I am very much able to solder, that was part of my profession, when I worked as electrician. But I'm certainly not gonna do this stuff. If there were some Microswitches built for this PCB that would be another story, but using trial and error and potentionally trying out 10 switches and drilling the Button Caps until it somewhat fits - oh hell no. I'm pretty confident that I COULD make it work, the soldering really isn't that hard, but nope. To much fiddling around. I'm pretty satisfied with the Buttons as they are, so that ain't worth it. Cool project tough, I like it a ton. Wouldn't recommend that mod to a beginner tough. Those Pro Controllers are expansive AF and if you mess up to bad, which very well could happen if you ain't experienced, you threw away 70 Bucks . (Changing the Triggers and Shell tough, that's easy and anyone could do it without greater risk of destroying it)

Did not know they sold octogonal analog shells. Might need to do that. Not for smash as much as because I hate when games require a straight walk and I fail miserably. UPDATE: So I ended up filing my left stick gate only (but actually made it shaped like an octagon), as I still play a decent amount of shooters, so keeping my right stick circular was better for aiming. I also added the hair trigger, and put in some magnetic xbox one pro controller type sticks. Now I'm tempted to do more mods as that hair trigger mod feels NICE. BTW, my right PIN was a pain in the ASS to get out, broke the plastic tweezers the kit came with and had to mangle a cheap pair of metal ones. But WOW, this is now my favorite controller by far as long as I don't need analog triggers.

Just as a heads up, you might want to dab in some hot glue on the sides of the buttons to help with stability. Solder is decently strong but it will wear down over time the more you press. Anything you can do to help keep those buttons in place will greatly lengthen time in between repairs.
@grantwalker7124 2 жыл бұрын
What type of hot glue/hot glue gun do you recommend? Would some type of super glue work instead. That seems easier and cheaper to work with in my mind, but I'm new to this so I could be wrong. While hot glue would seem to help with stability and not needing to do repairs for a longer period, what would happen if it were to break and it's hot glued in place? Is there any repair process at that point or is it just forever broken? I'm sorry for all of the questions. I'm new to this and think your suggestion is something I want to do, I just want as much clarity as possible before I attempt this.
@Rillion02 2 жыл бұрын
@@grantwalker7124 the main reason I said hot glue is because despite it helping strengthen the solder joint it is also marginally easy to peel off of the PCB and repair the part you need. For that same reason I wouldn't recommend super glue, but also because super glue doesn't build up very well to create a strong base. As for what type of hot glue gun to use, anything low to medium heat will do. You just need something that will do the minimum and preferably extrude to a fine tip, since you're working with small parts. **EDIT** I meant to say super doesn't build up very well and is near impossible to remove if needed

I actually just finished this project based on this video. You definitely don't need to drill out the buttons! The switch measurements you had are perfect. What I did was hold the switches in place with some blue tac and then put flux & solder on TOP. The buttons feel amazing! Thanks so much for the research, idea, and execution plan! Edit: I made the micro switch and button change mods to my wife's controller and it actually had the clearance issue... I guess the plastics can be of variable tolerances?

Any chance I could find a tutorial for the method you did this? I have all the parts I need but the video isn't the most clear for me since I'm brand new to soldering.

@@analog7259 I couldn't find a good tutorial but it's very similar to how he's doing it in this video at 6:35 except I used blue tac on the side of the switch to hold it down so I didn't have to hold it with tweezers to get the first anchor point. This also allows you to start applying the solder on top so you don't accidentally raise it up which would affect the button actuation. As for tools for this project, I'd use: - Leaded rosin core solder. Lead so it melts easier and rosin core so it has flux inside it which helps it stay clean. - A good soldering iron set at a high temperature. I use a Hakko FX-888D at 750f/400c which is probably overkill for this project but a good high watt iron that won't lose heat on you will make your life easier. - Extra flux to keep things clean and the solder sticky. Especially helpful if you're new and not moving quickly. - A solder pump or a solder wick in case you make a mistake. - Something to solder on. A silicone mat is ideal for this imo. - Blue tac or something you can use to hold things in place temporarily.

Good work!! - I love clickyness too :) I might add dome switches to the bad D-pad that my brand new Steam Deck has (it's way worse than the D-pad on an old/early model I tried yesterday)

My brother bought me the Fixture S1 after a month of hand cramps playing Pokemon, and seeing this video, I am now on the hunt for clicky switches and a soldering kit... and maybe a new shell for my pro controller cause I already confuse anyone's pro controller with mine... Damn you, Bob.

I remember making a comment on one of Extremerates videos saying how something like this with face buttons would be banging and sell like mad to do a custom board like this and they responded that they felt it wouldnt sell but im seeing in the comments that my idea for this project he did is actually wanted by people, i know my friend commissioned me to mod his Pro controller like this
@NeoAnthony 2 жыл бұрын
I would recommend using a flat/chisel tip on the soldering iron for the face buttons, since there is a wider surface area, and the flat tip will heat more evenly and easily. Also, to remove the bit of plastic off the buttons I recommend a rotary tool with a polishing bit, so you can have more control on the amount of material you remove. I am definitely going to try to do this mod... Once my finances get leveled. XD
