Design & Manufacturing
Mix and match with the original! The design of this transparent shell is identical to the original HVC-001 Famicom controller one. This means plastic shells, plastic buttons, rubber button contacts, PCB, and screws are interchangeable between original HVC-001 burgundy controller and this transparent shell.
This transparent shell is 3D printed in high quality transparent resin, manufacturing is done in China and shipped to sunny California. Manufacturing is expected to take 2-3 weeks.
Assembly
It's time to get hands on, this transparent shell includes the following:
- Lower Transparent Enclosure
- Upper Transparent Enclosure
- Transparent A + B buttons
- Transparent Direction Pad
You will be responsible for the PCB, rubber button contacts, and screws. All of these items can be sourced from the original HVC-001 Famicom controller.
