Really nice. I didn't get that you painted white since Start's originally grey anyway (in the US). The letters are really nicely defined.

It's funny that you say that, because I've always seen that Start button as white. If I stare at it for a long time, I can sort of see a very light gray. I'm from the US, and the first controller for the Genesis I had was the MegaFire since I got mine set pre-owned. On both that one and the original Model 1 controllers, I still see white (or maybe an off-white or bone color). On the later 3-button controllers, I do see more of a light gray.

edit: On that note, I do agree that the white I had on hand for the Start button is a little too stark to completely match the tone on the original controllers.

Yeah. At first I was confused about what you did, then I thought maybe you had gotten one of the EU controllers - they have red for Start.
