If you have a modded Game Boy Color that has a touch brightness sensor, or simply want to add a little bit of extra color to your console, these custom 3D-printed IR covers are for you! These covers fit both OEM and aftermarket shells, and fit the touch brightness sensor on the IPS LCD and similar backlit LCDs. 

Features

  • 3D-printed replacement IR port cover
  • Compatible with both OEM and aftermarket shells
  • Available in a variety of colors
  • Wide enough to fit the IPS touch sensor, while also thin enough to register touch input
  • Satisfying textured feel

        Documentation

        In order for this IR cover to be compatible with all Game Boy Color shells, there are risers on each side that may need to be removed. These are a different color than the rest of the IR cover, to make them easy to identify. Attempt to fit the IR cover into the shell; if the IR cover does not fit, gently break off these risers with a pair of side cutters. 

        If you would like to print a touch sensor cover yourself, you can find the file on our Thingiverse page here.

         Included

        • 1 x Game Boy Color IR Touch Sensor Cover

        • Colors may vary from what you see on your display

          White IR Touch sensor cover for gameboy color review

          The piece fits very well on the gameboy color. I have no trouble with it at all.

          Doesn’t fit well

          It wiggles around a little after being installed, and there’s a visible gap instead of it having a snug fit.

          Best community to look for when modding gameboys. The inventory is catagorized and documentation is punctual. Best experience when handling diy, or learning about specific technical layouts. 9/10 will buy again. Hopefully a new batch of everdrives will be available then. Thankyou and welcome

          Works pretty good!

          The sensor works good but it has the issue of being a bit big when installing an ips screen so you'll need to trim it just a bit. Otherwise it was amazing!

          Love these!

          I bought a white one to go with my white shell and it was awesome. I didn’t have to trim it for my IPS shell so it made it so easy to put in.

          Nice fit

          Nice aftermarket IR cover. The fit was perfect with the IPS display. Just break off the 2 black tabs.

          Sweet!

          I needed something to top off my Chameleon Gameboy color build.
          The purple ir sensor is what I chose. 👍🏻

          IR Sensor

          I love it's already attached to the cable and all you need to do it stick it to a location of your liking. For one of them i stuck it to the shell 🐚 for fast and sensitive brightness control. For my personal one i lift it on the motherboard so i hold it a bit hard so it changes my brightness without puttimg it down and going dark on me. Ooops this it for the ips screen

          My IR sensor is green and the color is so vibrent it stands out from my transparent gamboy color 10/10

          Solid, Snug Fit

          This one fit a little snugger than the OEM one (that I broke), but that's no problem at all. Works great!

          Excellent Product

          I've purchased quite a few of these, and they all fit into my reshells perfectly. I love that I can match the color to my designs: retro modding really knows how to please modders who have a wide variety of palettes!

          Good variety of colors, but require elbow grease

          I was able to buy an IR cover that matched my custom gameboy, but it had a lot of excess material that needed to be cut and sanded away. The surface was also textured, so I needed to sand and buff it to a nice shine. If you have flush cutters, files, and/or sanding boards and don't mind a little extra work, then this is a good option! I wasn't expecting to do the extra work, so I'm only rating 3 stars.

          Hi Madison,

          Thanks for this review.

          This cover was designed to be textured. As for needing to cut the cover, there is a little part of the cover that's made to be cut, depending on the type of shell you need. This is all described on the product page.

          Don't hesitate to contact us at support@retromodding.com for any inquiries or question.

          Good

          Fit does need some slight trimming as the ones I received appeared to be 3d printed, not much was needed to fit, however if you decide to swap out the ir sensor cover, just be prepared. Other than that they fit perfectly and look great.
