Modified Buttons for Pigrrl Zero Plus

thingiverse

I designed these custom buttons specifically for the Pigrrl Zero Plus build, but they should also work well with the standard build. The DPAD and button files both feature four subtle indents at the bottom, matching the tactile buttons perfectly. However, I encountered an issue with the soft tactile buttons from Adafruit - their long travel length led to accidental presses. The indents solved this problem, ensuring smooth operation in my own build, but I can't guarantee they'll work for everyone. In addition to the practical improvements, I added some aesthetic touches. I embossed little arrows onto the DPAD for a sleeker look, and gave the A and B buttons a concave shape while making the X and Y buttons convex, reminiscent of a classic SNES controller. To take it up another notch, I even added L and R labels to the shoulder buttons. These custom buttons were printed in TPE with low infill for a squishy feel, but I'm confident that hard plastics would work just as well.
