Description
For replacing side buttons in Intellivision controllers.
I created this as the hard uncompliant buttons of my INTV III were not much fun to use and sort of ruining the overall experience. These are not going to make you controller perfect, they should significantly reduce the force needed for button presses and make it a much more comfortable experience all around.
These buttons are intended to be printed in a nice flexible TPU (I'm using Overture in my X1 Carbon). Supports are needed and can be not much fun to remove when using TPU, you may want to adjust the top Z offset depending on your slicer and printer. I used Wubbers to pull the support out and this worked 98% of the time.
These are designed for my INTV III, they should work in the classic Intellivision as well but I have not tested that. I'm using these in conjunction with excellent replacement keypad inserts and springs from https://atarirepairparts.com/
