    At the time of launch, Microsoft was the only vendor that had buttons in stock. All the accessibility sites that sold custom ones were sold out. I did buy a mix of loose arcade buttons with the idea to create my own. I gave up on that once I saw the Logitech kit. It’s built nicer than what I would have been able to build myself, with way less effort. I’ve bought one joystick off Etsy to use with my feet. It’s custom made with a 3d printed shell, it’s nice but it was also $45 for a single input. Ughhhh.

      Ah, I see. I’m quite sure we’re in different parts of the world and I guess my experience with parts availability was different. Here the problem is more of cost, as I’m sure your experience has shown, these do get expensive very quick, sadly.
