    amazing

    i really like the led's . it just makes the game play that much better ! the only thing i would ask is that the instructions on how to actually use them are significantly better written and maybe even a video to show how to use them because it took me a soldi day to figure it out because the instructions are that bad. also just to add to my gameboy color i added bluetooth to it and man it is set apart for sure now lol

    Adds a modern touch

    Super easy install if you've ever used a soldering iron. Took about 15 minutes start to finish along with swapping buttons, membranes, and speaker. Controls aren't the easiest to master for changing stuff, but you get used to it after a few run throughs of all the settings. I love that I can set a color oer button.

    Easy to Install, Great Effect!

    The rainbow slow change effect works really well, and shines through OEM D-pad/A&B membranes!

    Not working with IPS screen

    Impossible to enter into MODE’s
    My GBC has an IPS screen that using also « start » and « select » buttons.
    Maybe that is the reason why it’s impossible to enter into Mode’s.
    Sad 😞

    Thanks for your review. At the top of the install guide for this product we state the following: It has been brought to our attention that the controls for this kit may conflict with some IPS kits on the market. We recommend soldering to an alternate button for the 'Select' button on IPS kits such as 'Start' or 'Dpad Down' since the IPS kits typically require pressing both buttons simultaneously.

    This should resolve your issue.
