Hello,

I'd love some custom 3ds xl red buttons to match the backplate of my red and black 3ds xl. I know wine red buttons exist, however it doesn't match up.

Problem is that most I see online on ebay or aliexpress only do black / white. Or they are for original 3ds or NEW 3DS XL , there is not much market out there for 3ds xl buttons in simple colors.


Does anyone know anyone or anywhere that is doing 3ds xl buttons?

Thanks in advance.

Acquire: Dremel, N3DS XL buttons in desired colour, O3DS buttons in whatever colour, superglue / permanent glue gel dots.

Adapt JordiPower's 3DS-to-Switch button mod:
Shave the base off the red buttons and trim the whatever buttons down to the base. Glue them together.

Or try using the N3DS buttons (or Switch buttons ) directly / with a little alteration of the base shape?
