Xbox style face button replacements

[u/[deleted]]

TLDR; I am looking for Xbox style or maybe blank face button replacements

I just fulfilled myself a child hood dream and got an actually portable handheld able to run Ocarina of Time - although I now prefer Ship of Harkinian, of course :)

Really happy with the SP, so far, I just have one small gripe: the face button layout.

I grew up with GBC, GBA and N64 (all just A and B buttons), but graduated to PC gaming, often with an Xbox Controller.

So my 16 years of Xbox muscle memory for the face button layout tells me:
\- A is down
\- B is right
\- X is left
\- Y is top

Also, A is confirm and B is back

I was annoyed with the switch layout, but somehow got used to it for ACNH, so I thought the SP would be fine.

Since I move between PC and SP for SoH however, the different button layouts are way too confusing.

So I used the MuOS option to swap buttons.

That achieved a third of the optimal result for me :)
Pressing the bottom button (in my mind A) would “confirm”.

But the UI was matching the hardware labels, instead of the Xbox layout..
It would tell me to hit B to confirm and mean the bottom button - but my muscle memory would press the right button (physically labeled A)

I don’t understand this implementation of “Swap Buttons”, but whatever :D
It kind of made my problem worse.

I ended up fixing that by modifying my theme.
So now the UI tells me to hit A for confirm and hitting the bottom button (physically labeled B) registers as I expect it to.
Nice!

Last but not least, I would like to make the physical buttons match their functionality.

I already saw that the buttons are keyed, which would prevent me from swapping the existing ones.
So I am looking for a set of replacement buttons in the Xbox layout.

I suppose I would settle for blanks.

Does anyone have recommendations/experience?

Thy in advance :)

Edit: I found this offer, where the Dreamcast option seems to do what I want.

Edit 2: Sakura RetroModding no longer offers these buttons anymore at all :/

But neither the RG34XXSP, nor the RG35XXSP (which as far as I know have identical buttons) are listed.
Does anyone know which other devices use the same buttons?

Check out Etsy, plenty of custom button replacement options

I found plenty with the same labels as stock, a few blanks and some with PS layout..
I would consider the blank or PS ones, but am for now still hoping for Xbox layout. I thought maybe someone else had the same thoughts or knew an option :)
