I've never seen anything beyond the stock replacement buttons and shells that you can find on the likes of Aliexpress. But I really want to make the A button green and B button red on one of my Pro Controllers and possible even the GamePad. I'm not exactly dying for a custom shell, but the two tend to go hand in hand which is why I mentioned both to begin with. You can find plenty of these kinds of kits for the likes of the Switch on Amazon (like here), yet I've never seen such a thing for Wii U controllers. And hey I get it, the Wii U was a commercial failure, no company probably ever thought it was worth investing in. But who knows, perhaps they're out there in some hidden foreign corner of the internet I'm not familiar with. So if you know of anything, please let me know, I'd really appreciate it.

Obviously, I don't need it, but I made a solid setup for the Ocarina of Time decomp, and stylized the button colors on screen in a way that I really like, and I would love if the controller itself could reflect how things look on screen.

On a related note, is there any way to change the icon of specific C-Buttons images displayed on the HUD in Ship of Harkinian? If it's not clear, Navi is linked to the L button, and in this instance, the Ocarina is mapped to the R button, would be nice if I could import in replacements for the circles that still think they're C-Up and C-Left to instead look more like the shapes of the L and R buttons respectively.

those c buttons are most likely a part of the assets, so I'd say no, unless you knew which files they were associated with. I doubt they're part of the re environment.

Well we can move them and change their color on screen, which is what makes me think maybe with some extra work we could change how the shape of the images look entirely and recompile, but I could be talking out of my ass haha

I don't know for sure, but that's a likely assumption. you'd have to ask @GaryOderNichts to know for sure.
