Unfortunately, many aftermarket Game Boy Color D-pads have a flatter rocker than the OEM buttons. As a result, the D-pad will sit slightly lower than expected, and allows for the input of opposite directions simultaneously. 

This simple 3D-printed riser has been designed to correct that, and restore the genuine feel to your aftermarket buttons. Designed to sit between the silicone and the PCB, the simple, no adhesive install will make correcting problematic D-pads quick and easy! 

Features

  • Simple drop-in installation
  • Printed in PETG

Works great when your GBC needs it

I bought a few of these and I’ve noticed that they aren’t necessary with every dpad. Id say if you don’t mind the feel, this might not improve the functionality.

Thank you for your review Mike!
For future customers: Please note that, not all the D-pad need it, this riser is designed to correct only the D-pads which have a flatter rocker than the OEM buttons :)

These are perfect!

I've had issues with D-Pads not feeling that great when modding Game Boys in the past, but these D-Pad risers fix that problem completely!

Does what it’s supposed to do

It’s kinda subtle as far as improvement goes but there is an improvement. It’s hard when we are talking millimeter’s as far as making the D-Pad function perfectly. So I do wish it was ever so slightly higher or raised as I think it could be better if they just got the measurements a bit more raised but for now this will do as I no longer press inputs simultaneously to register the wrong directions.

Essential

So far they have fixed my DMG and my retroflag SNES usb controller, they fit in many things that aren't the CGB.
They may need a bit of sanding but it's way better than tape or plastic packaging & glue.
