In order to create a better device, I'm going to change the left side buttons pcb for a custom made board.

For the D-Pad I'm going to use the alps skquaaa010 4 way navigation switch, which is something close to an analog stick but still button-like, so, it's more .... "retro".

Also, in the same pcb I'm going to add 4 tactile buttons to work as (probably) start/select + 2 user defined configurations.

Also, I'm planning to add a audio amplifier and a speaker if there is enough space.

Greetings!
