Got my 2.1 yesterday, today I built it! Pics - queekus - 03-23-2017

I did not take pics during the build but I have the Flash Master's Handy Youtube video, I did have to trim around the volume knob a bit and I did not have to trim the shoulder buttons at all. I have not installed the button caps yet. It took a chunk of the day, I took my time making it and it paid off because it fired up first try!

Thanks again! I will be loading it with games overnight and playing with it tomorrow!

Nice work, queekus! Thanks for posting!

I grabbed one of your photos to display here. I hope you don't mind.

quick question about some of the extra pieces:

1. white connector terminal, I'm assuming that can be used to connect a second battery to the board if you had 2 flat-cell type batteries
2. 4 pin header, no idea what that is for
3. 2 button caps, THANKS!
4. OTG adapter, THANKS!
5. 4 screws, not sure where these were supposed to go.

Also, can I clip off a little of the y and x button shafts if i want the button caps to sit a little lower?

Thanks!

1) TRUE
2) See #1 (in case your battery uses a different connector)
3) You're welcome!
4) You're welcome!
5) Can you post a photo? I don't know why/how you got screws.

Button Shafts) You sure can clip them down, but it may be difficult to get them exactly the same height. I've never tried it, so I can't recommend it or not.
