    Bad quality

    Got 2 pads soldered on. Went to solder 3rd pad and the second I touched iron to the solder point the gold contact on the LEDs just disintegrated. Iron wasn't hot either for this. Wouldn't recommend. Don't wanna try another and be out another $20

    Thanks for your review! Please reach out to us at support@handheldlegend.com so we may look into this further!

    not as hard to install as it might seem

    The mod arrived well and wasn't necessarily hard to install, although it requires you to be a little bit carefull when aligning the LED boards to the GBA's pcb. Just remember to use a good amount of solder for the 3.3 volts and ground contacts.

    With basic soldering skills, a not-so-trash soldering iron/station and a good amount of flux, you're goot to go.

    My only complain would be the select+right d-pad shortcut that you use to access the different modes, it's a bit odd to press those two buttons simultaneously.

    Great product

    Very happy with the results. It looks great. It was my first time ever soldering and it was easy to do. You may need to try a couple different button membranes to get the right feel because the led lights sit under the membrane for the d pad. I have had it installed for about a month now and couldn't be happier with the product.
