Hello, I know that this post has been made at least once on the forum, but I'm looking for these piece for my old 2DS :
- White shell (Behind and front) with white sides (Possible by taking it on Pink 2DS shell)
- ABXY buttons with SNES style (Like the Pokémon Sun&Moon game console)
- White L and R buttons

This is to make a full-white 2DS with SNES buttons, it's beautiful :)
But I can't find any of these pieces, if anyone has links I will be interested !

You can try a N3DS SNES button set (e.g. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/328...earchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_). It seems the notches in the buttons and case don’t line up, so you also need to get an O2DS button set of any colour (e.g. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/329...earchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_; you're also out of luck with the notches for JoyCon buttons https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...earchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_) and file off the button top to leave the base, and file the base off the N3DS buttons and glue them together. That’s what I’ve done with my N3DS XL, and you might even get better results than me, as IIRC the buttons should be the same diameter, whereas mine are now narrower than the holes in the case.

JordiPower does this for a JoyCon: and has diagrams telling you the N3DS buttons have a diameter of 7.35 mm and rise 2.21 mm above the 0.63 mm base. I don't have any O2DS buttons to compare with, and AliExpress doesn't list the dimensions. You could get an estimate by comparing the size of your O2DS d-pad with the picture in the listing, but it's not clear that they were in the same shot…

The Retro Future has a disassembly video: .

The 2DS models have embossed button labels, whereas the 3DS models have printed ones with a flat top.
