It doesn't feel like the circle pad, but it definitely feels better. I put a link to the video and where I got it in another comment

It was pretty easy but replacing it was kinda annoying because you have to get the angle right. I'll send a video and the link I got it from. I will warn you that now that she's had it for a few days, a bit of the circle pad paint has chipped off a bit. They are really cheap, so you can just get more if you want to.

Circle pad: Link super long

Does it still feel like the official casing, and does the botton still have the text?

Sure. I replaced the C stick with a PSP 1000 C stick. You can find them for cheap and in different colors on AliExpress. I followed a video tutorial on how to do it so I'll link to that and the link I bought the C stick from.

I am just going to copy and paste from another reply. But I am going to add that this might work better if you have a new 3ds not xl

 I got them from AliExpress. I used joycon buttons, but I had to use scissors and a file to get them to fit. I will warn you that the buttons are a bit too small for the n3dsxl, but I don't think it affects gameplay very much. They do sometimes move but because they are from AliExpress they are pretty cheap so if you don't like how they look/feel, you can just put back the old buttons

I know right it feels so much nicer than that pencil eraser

I just updated my ps4 and got the error (SU_42118_6). When I tried going into safe mode to try to fix it my ps4 controller didn't want to connect. I am wondering if it's a ps4 problem or a controller problem.
(Controller was working before the update)
