This product is made in collaboration with Nathalie the Nerd.
Retro Modding is proud to have her trust to take care of the production and distribution of her GBA LED boards! 

While there are a variety of button colors for you to choose from, you might find yourself wanting a little bit more for your upcoming mod. With this LED board from Natalie the Nerd, you're a quick installation away from fully illuminated buttons, in a color of your choice!

The left and right parts are independent which gives you the opportunity to mix the colors with different led kits, which allows you to have a total of 36 color combinations!

White silicone pads and clear buttons are recommended for the best effect. 

Features

  • LED-illuminated buttons, in your choice of six different colors
  • Straightforward installation with minimal soldering

Documentation

Included

  • 1 x Game Boy Advance LED board (left + Right part), in a color of your choice

Notes

  • You will need a wire (not included) to connect the 2 PCBs together
  • Colors may vary from what you see on your display
  • With the exception of the power LED, the console would need clear (or at least transparent) buttons for the effect to be noticeable; clear buttons are available here
  • If you are looking to have a better control over your LED board, you can add these LED Control Board to your build.

This board is relatively easy to install with basic soldering skills and is a good product. The finished product looks super cool.

Worth it

I havent had the time to install yet but with the clear gba shell, paired with red clear buttons and an IPS screen i think itll look great!

Great product and easy install

I'll go ahead and say, it helps if you read ALL the instructions lol. Once I did that, it was super simple lol. It works great!

Work as expected and pretty easy to install, tutorial available on The official site

Insanely bright!

They work as intended and weren’t too hard to solder, though I’d use a fatter tip to get it to stick to the board. They are also VERY bright with clear cases so take the extra time to solder the LED on/off switches. Your batteries and eyes will thank you. Amazing product!

Better design needed

Knowing we need a wire, it would be nice to include one. However, there are other boards that are connected all the way across which would be super helpful and require less soldering. Just a thought. Works great nonetheless, just borderline too complicated for the average modder.

Easy installation, LEDs are VERY bright. I have a crystal clear shell, and they may be so bright they're too distracting to play lol. I'll definitely pick up that control board & play around with brightness, but I am very happy so far!

Easy install. Missing 30g wire required to connect the boards though.

It worked amazingly and the lights are very bright. I did have some issues with the sodering not sticking to each point but that's a skill issue not a product issue. There is a problem though. To connect the board from the dpad side to the a and b buttons you need a wire to do that and the package doesn't come with any kind of wire for it which isn't to bad but it wasn't mentioned in the description that I would need a wire.

If you’re hesitant, don’t be!

One of the easiest mods I’ve installed. If you have minimal soldering experience this will be a walk in the park for you.

fun addon

This is a fun colorful add-on. I don't think it drains the battery too much either.

Review for led board

I really love it I found a wire and I love ti the glow ti it!

Great extra piece!

Really changes the look of the GBA. Only recommendation is to install a switch or brightness level as using it during nighttime can get bright on the eyes.

This upgrade is worth very dollar

The actual installation of the board was so easy and the extra soldering spots help a lot with simplifying a new screen.

The LED kit is great. It arrived quickly and I was able to install it very easily. It looks great in my GBA! Thanks!

Works perfectly

Exactly what I was expecting. I like that it has solder pads you can wire your own dedicated switch (which I did, works perfectly), or just bridge them for the "always on" option

Super cool button additon

Really nice to have buttons with lights behind them. Very nice aesthetic on the GBA

Nice and sexy GBA!!

I have been modding my GBA for a while, this mod is easy to install, and bring a great look to your gba! I love it!!

Solid LED option

It was easy to install and just works. The lights look amazing.
The downside is the LED control board has been out of stock for months and it seems like it should be an essential part of this mod, otherwise the LEDs sometimes are way too bright (brighter than a funnyplaying screen at max brightness) so when you play in the dark it gets tiring on the eyes.
I've been told this would be restocked sometimes next year.

Love it!

Fantastic! Super easy to install. The creator Natalie the Nerd has a updated multi color version coming out soon (Arc GBA) that I've had the chance to try out, definitely worth it when it drops!

Easy to install and works great. Remember if you want to be able to turn it off when your playing buy the switch board as well.
