Let's Glow!
#1
I finished my first build this weekend. I bought a glow-in-the-dark shell from ebay, as well as some glowing clear turquoise buttons from retromodding.com. I rounded it out with lime green silicon pads. I built the rubbery feel option, and after a little bit of tuning and trimming, it all feels like real GBA buttons. My overall theme was to make it a little "Tron-Like", because I thought that glowing joystick on the Tron cabinets was about the most high tech thing I had seen when I was a kid back in the 80s. 

I am very pleased with how this turned out. The build was straightforward, and I found the plastic GBA shell rather easy to work with. I bought two just in case I made a mess of one, but that turned out to be unnecessary. I spent most of the weekend tweaking my retropie setup and, of course, playing lots of games!
