Our unique, in-house Game Boy replacement buttons are cast using high-precision machinery. These quality buttons take their design cues from the NES controller to bring a different look and feel to your Game Boy. 

Don't want to mess with a good thing? Check out our Game Boy buttons, which perfectly reproduce the original—right down to the lines on the D-pad.

Features

  • Durable ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) material
  • High-quality, responsive buttons that play better than typical budget replacement parts
  • Concave A and B button surfaces and arrow markings on the D-pad designed in the style of the NES controller
  • Compatible with NES controllers, DMG and Play It Loud Game Boy units, and SNES controllers (see warning) 

Options

These button sets are available in over 30 different colors, including airy pastels, clear neons, and perfect reproductions of Nintendo's original hardware colors.

Some colors may not return in subsequent batches, so grab them while they last!

Can't make up your mind? Leave the decision up to us.

  • Random set: A full set of buttons in one random color. We'll pick out something that complements the shell you order.
  • Mixed set: A full set of buttons in a variety of colors. We'll pick individual button colors that complement each other as well as the shell you order.

Included

  • 1 x NES-style D-pad
  • 2 x NES-style A/B buttons

Notes

  • Power switch and extension (link) port cover not included
  • Colors may vary from what you see on your display
  • This is an aftermarket product and may not feel identical to its genuine counterpart

Warning

  • The D-pad is designed to fit in a NES controller and may feel a bit tight in the Game Boy
  • The Game Boy's D-pad will not fit in a SNES controller, but the A and B buttons will

Amazing!

Perfect fit, and looks great in my custom NES controllers. And to top it off, my order arrived quickly. For those reasons, RM is my favorite place to buy custom and/or replacement parts for all my retro gaming gear. Thanks!

Unique look and excellent feel.

These are my favorite buttons for the dmg. The first aftermarket D-pad I didn't have to mod just to get full use of cardinal and diagonal directions with an aftermarket shell and funny playing screen/daughter-board.
My only complaint is that they are not pure white, more of an eggshell, so they don't necessarily mix well with other white buttons. But all colors vary somewhat anyways, even batch to batch within the same manufacturer/model.

Awesome buttons!

These buttons feel and look great. Paired with their NES controller shells, they are stunning!

NES Buttons for DMG

Absolutely love the way these buttons feel in a DMG shell! Great fit. Only complaint is I can’t order them with the port cover and power switch unless I order a whole set of regular style buttons.

Very pretty buttons!

I love the colors, even for just replacing your default black NES D-pad with a custom red D-pad, it pops out so much that the whole controller is looking really something special.

Even if the custom D-pads are just a tiiiiny bit smaller than the regular D-pad, it still feels great to use. And at long last, someone who sells brown buttons! With the main 4 player controllers that use red, blue, yellow and green, my fifth and completely personalized controller really looks comfy and something that's made for me. Everything fits and works perfectly fine.

And the quality?? I really don't see or feel any difference with the paint at all. You can feel the difference in pressing the buttons but it's so minimal that it really shouldn't cause trouble for a casual gameplay. For the more intense button-presses, you probably have to get used to it as the difference is just really minimal. Doesn't leave scratches, doesn't stick, I don't see the problem here.

Amazing job Retro Modding!

Good

The appearance is not original, but the operability is good.
I want you to make an original D-pad in this size.

Bright pink buttons!

Gorgeous color and a perfect fit!

Pretty nice buttons

Pretty happy with the plastic buttons, but the soft sel/start aren't the best. I mean, for 90% of games where you don't press sel/start a lot they're fine. For a game where sel/start are utilized quite often you may notice lost inputs here and there.

NES controller parts

Everything I wanted except the Gameboy silicone start and select are a different fit than the NES so it would be nice if you guys had colored options for the NES start/select. Thanks!

These are awesome!!

I wanted to do a few controller mods for an old Atari and SMS using the NES shells and GB buttons. With so many options for customizing, these are simply amazing! Great stuff indeed!

Look Great, Love Em

Got these for my GB rebuild, They complete the look and I love how my thumbs sit in them.

Great for NES controller

Fits perfectly inside an NES controller to replace those old buttons and give it some new life. Got one set for a regular NES controller and one for modifying an NES Max controller to have a D-pad. Only complaint is that the edges of the D-pad feel a bit sharper than normal, which can wear on your thumb a bit.

Great buttons, not white

Loce these buttons! Concave and very comfortable, feel soft yet firm and responsive on the silicone pads (also from RM).
However, just a word of caution -- the white buttons are not pure white. They stray very slightly toward cream.

Very nice and good construction

Everything fit well. No issues at all. Very nice blacks and color tones and feels.
