Transparent SNES Controllers Are Back—And They’re Glowing with Potential 🎮✨
Retro Game Restore’s stunning transparent SNES/SFC controller shells are back in stock—and yes, all three colors (Smoke, Clear, and Purple) are available for ~$30 each. Designed to perfectly match RGR’s iconic transparent console shells, they’re a dream for retro modders and collectors.
But here’s the fun part: these are shells only. You’ll need to source the internals from a donor controller—or go full DIY. And thank goodness, because that opens the floodgates to some seriously cool upgrades:
- Premium rubber membranes from J&T Studios (d-pad & button swaps = game changer for feel and longevity)
- Braided cables that actually look good while keeping things tangle-free (no more frayed spaghetti cords!)
- Open-source PCB recreations—yes, you can 3D print or order custom circuit boards if you’re feeling techy
RGR even hints they might sell individual buttons or D-pads soon—if demand is strong enough. So if you’ve been eyeing a showpiece SNES controller that’s equal parts nostalgia and modern flair, now’s the time to jump in.
Got a project going? Tag us—we’d love to see your build. 🖤🤍💜
