Game Boy Advance Clicky Triggers

Very small, as you would expect. Install took some slight improvisation, as the original triggers are secured to the PCB's metal bracket via 4 plastic nubs on the underside, which these lack. Besides de-soldering, I had to melt away these tiny bits to fully remove the old triggers. It only took a few seconds, so no big deal. Another unclear aspect of these replacements was how they have 4 metal prongs, though you only need to solder on 2. Before soldering these on, I folded 1 pair of prongs under the trigger, around a credit card to reduce the likelihood of them breaking. This also conveniently made them act as hooks, holding the button on the bracket, and kept the new triggers the correct distance from the PCB to allow proper functioning. Once soldered on, they worked (and still do so far) perfectly. The feel is comparable to the A/B buttons on a GBA SP. These make an audible click when pressed. Highly recommended product for anyone who prefers highly responsive trigger buttons!

I was excited to try this upgrade but it's a littler trickier than I thought it would be. The placement has to be just right to seat these back in the buttons properly.

Installing them was a bit of a headache given how small the pins are and desoldering the old switches proved to be quite a pain as well due to how small the contacts are. However, after some trial and error and moving the metal plating and switches slightly, they work like a charm!

A big note here is they are VERY sensitive, if you install these with an after market shell, do be careful not to over-tighten the shoulder buttons as they can keep the contacts pressed in the switches.

I inherited a GBA and I’m in the process of upgrading it a piece at a time. These are very nice. Clicky like an old school mouse. I love it.

The triggers are good, very clicky, but the mod is a little tricky to do, would be cool if the extra pins weren't sticking out andif they had a little rubber feet like the OEM to make the install easier

Perfect came as described
