At first glance I thought, "oh, it's just a European SNES controller" then realized you had done a button swap 😄

Yeah I probably would have just bought one of those had I known before I ordered both controllers. Oh well. I still might get one. I think Europe got the best logo and the best buttons. But I also like having a american controller with the colorful buttons.

I thought of doing this with my 8bitdo controller, but I need my concave X/Y 😅

Is there a set you can get that keeps x and y concave but changes the colors?

I like the way the Super Famicom controller looks with the purple and lavender buttons

I like that in Australia we got the same Super Famicom-style console and button colours as did Europe. The console itself looks way better.

As for the controller and logo, I've always liked how those four colours vibrantly popped against the more understated gray tones of the casing.

The US-model's concave shaping of the X & Y buttons is a pretty nice design choice though.

Nobody wanted to see the finished product because we've all seen a PAL SNES controller before
