Thinking of customizing your 8BitDo All-Button Arcade Controller? In this video, I walk through a quick and simple switch + button cap mod that gives the controller a fresh feel and look.

You'll see the full process of removing button caps, swapping out mechanical switches, and replacing the stock caps with clear button tops. I also confirm two switch types that are fully compatible with this controller — perfect info for anyone looking to upgrade the feel or sound.

Controller: 8BitDo All-Button Arcade Controller
Mods: Switch replacement, button cap swap
