The problem I'm having with this mod is that I'm getting a "double click" where the membrane gives feedback, and then you push a tiny bit further to get the actual buttons to click. It's not terrible but it doesn't feel like a GBASP for example. Are there any workarounds for this at all?

Vestigial JST connector footprints for batteries that have those. They're big, so you can't use the standard battery clips, and have to use a smaller battery, so I just don't bother. They're getting removed in the next board revision.

Honestly, the volume wheel is a deal breaker for me. I can't imagine comfortably playing games where you predominantly use the B button. Part of your thumb would absolutely touch it all the time. Interestingly this was left out in the demonstration and you only show how you're pressing the A button which is further to the right.

This has to be the coolest most practical and most elegant mod I have ever seen. I congratulate and thank you for sharing! In your future updates please don't change the form (at least not much - if you have to) as it is perfect and froggish :-) What you could change in my humble opinion is the volume wheel (put it on the side for example), add the IR as you mentioned and maybe have the option of ordering a back that protects the label/sticker on the cartridge. I am anxious to see where this will go in the future!
