Questions and answers
about your gamepad
It depends, because you have several options and choices. It also depends on our country and available suppliers. To make it a little bit easier I used € as the common currency. The US$ values be be similar, but of course it depends on the exchange.

Further options:
You can also select and combine your build with more PC Carbon Fibre parts or Cherry Switches from our shop.
You might also want to print the 3D parts yourself and get the print files for 19€ from
https://www.printables.com/model/862188-mygamepad
But keep in mind you still need 450g of filament.
The download from Printables includes also the gerber files for PCB production. So you might want to order PCBs at https://www.pcbway.com/
There are minimum orders and shipping to you country might be costly.
I also want to mention that you could also buy many of the needed parts at
https://www.taja-elektronik.de/MyGamepad
Please check it out.
Of course you can also get many parts from eBay, Amazon, AliExpress and other shopping platforms. But as always keep an eye on the shipping costs.
