The same website makes metal buttons, resin buttons with real bugs inside, and more. Overall it's not really anything I'm personally interested, but I love that the deck has enough support, and is tinker friendly enough, that stuff like this is even an option.

Rip the poor bugs. Leave them in their habitat folks.

I was curious if they were using farmed bugs or something else

From the page for the bug Dpads:

Rest assured, no creepy crawlies were harmed in creating these unique dpads – each bug was respectfully collected after natural passing, discovered in serene settings like windowsills, tangled in spider webs, or peacefully outdoors. These DPADs are not just gaming accessories; they're a tribute to the beauty of nature, combined with the thrill of Halloween! πŸ•·πŸ‚

I really wonder how they'd consistently source that, but mostly I just hope I never ever hear about it again.

Stealing food from spiders? Not cool man! Stick with candy from babies.

Whoops that was a typo. Stones, I love getting stones.

Wow, talking about Rock and Stone!

[-] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

Rock and roll and stone!

As someone who prefers the Nintendo layout, it would be cool if they offered that as an option.

[-] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Just swap the buttons to match Nintendo layout, and then there's a toggle in the steam settings>controller to switch to Nintendo layout

Edit ok actually I guess that won't work, the b button specifically is special and can't be swapped looks like.

[-] urata@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

pretty sure the buttons are "keyed" in a way that doesn't let you put them in the wrong slot. It's been that way for controllers I took apart.

[-] kayzeekayzee 9 points 1 month ago

also the B key is curved to match the slope of the edge of the console

[-] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Genuinely love that feature on my PS3 controller just so I can’t put the wrong buttons in whenever I’m doing in maintenance

[-] LettucePrey@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Yup, this is correct.

[-] prole 6 points 1 month ago

People on Etsy sell custom buttons, including Nintendo ones.

They've also recently added an option for layout-agnostic glyphs that show the position of the button (the four hollow circles with the button in question filled in) which I kind of prefer

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Or get blank buttons and re-map to the Nintendo config.

[-] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

These must feel chilly to the touch, sounds super nice.

...resin buttons with real bugs inside...

You completely lost me there. Don't come looking or I will torch the place with a lighter.

As an avid bug hater (creepy crawlies are not for me, ever), I would never use something like that. The metal and stone buttons? Yeah, maybe, depending on price, but definitely not the bug resin buttons.
