Title: NES Theme
Post by: agent007 on December 08, 2017, 12:48:34 pm: Ok so i am doing a themed NES build like this one http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,133712.120.html?PHPSESSID=fora6i7k0bjega079c5c7b6fm3 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,133712.120.html?PHPSESSID=fora6i7k0bjega079c5c7b6fm3)

I have found everything i need except for the square push buttons for the start/select. does anybody know where to find them or have any for sale? I would love to have them look exactly like the conroller just bigger but if i have to have square ones then i will have to have square ones.

thanks for the help

You could also use this one and paint the cap black, might look better.
