I was playing that community-made PC port of Zelda Twilight Princess with my 8bitdo Pro 3 controller, which has swappable face buttons so I rearranged them to better match the Game Cube layout. But wouldn't you know it, that wasn't enough. I needed it to look closer. To... feel closer. But not too close, the GC controller's not as perfect as some may want you to believe. Bolder words have never been spoken, I know.So I went ahead and made these! Motivation can be weird like that. I was at first gonna make only the GC buttons and include a blank for people to have fun with, buuuuut I was having fun so got the usual suspects (ABXY and them Playing Stations) included as well. I could go on about how the GC buttons feel better than you'd expect as many of you are probably theory-crafting to kingdom come about how this can't possibly work... but I'll instead just let you print them and see for yourself.And because the suction cup the controller comes with to swap the buttons is pretty jank, I added little notches one can use to pull these by hand. And to help keep all these easily stored, I included a little base you can attach these to when not in use. Some magnets under those will keep the caps in place! From there stuff them in a box or drawer, or stick them on the side of your PC case! Or your fridge! I can't tell you what to do.Speaking of magnets, you'll need 5x3mm round magnets and maybe some contact glue as the tolerances to make the magnets fit are a bit all over the…
