Hi, it looks like the buttons have little notches that limit where they can go. I was really hoping to modify it so that my a button is green and my b is red would that work if I file down that little notch?
I just completed this guide, and it is 100% perfection. The photos are useful and clear, and explanations are on point. Many thanks.
I especially appreciate mention of screw length as I'm prone to mixing them up. Lovely guide 🫠
