Retroid Pocket Flip 2 Button Swap!
I finished a button swap today that was a little more painful than expected. These are Retroid Pocket 5 buttons that took some adapting to fit properly. The dpad was the main issue; I had to sand all the posts smaller and install some spacers for clearance so it wouldn't contact the screen. I also cut and replaced some rubber for the side of the screen to give just a mm or two more clearance. I don't think it was necessary but one of mine fell off a week ago so I thought I may as well replace both.
I've been waiting on all black buttons that I ordered directly from Retroid but who knows when those will ship? So I decided to try these out since they were more readily available online. I think it looks good and will look even better with different thumbsticks later on.
