I suggest using the L/R boards of original inner gamepad PCB because they are not exact squares. So maybe case will not close correctly. I've found it does close (i accidentally put them on the wrong way round in my first build), but its very tight, and may damage components over time if left like ...

Thanks for the quick response.

Sounds brilliant mate, would love to see it!

Im away for work, but will post photos as soon as i get back.

Using a raspiberry pi zero w has meant I can use a 8bitdo controller as a second player controller, which is great....

Just to add to the posts above, the raspiboy controller board is just a USB controller with a 4-pin JST plug on it to save space and connect it to the 8B-PCB. I've found the bottom of the original board is too flexible, and nothing holds it against the silicon - so while replacement silicon pads imp...
