Alas no. The buttons and caps stick up far too much for that.
I was thinking, for a small additional fee, you could get these made in black PCB which would match closer to the original.

Of course, if we could find some way of getting membranes made, that would solve the problem, but this is definitely a good way of reviving a dead controller for now.

Yep it makes perfect sense. I guess there must be some way to maybe print keys in 3D, too!

I just realised. I probably didn't let everyone know I'd updated the github!

If you're just after Gerbers to order...

Hi Chesh,

do you have part-numbers / a source for the buttons and diodes you used?

https://www.jaycar.com.au/smd-diode-sm5 ... 0/p/ZR1021 for the diodes.
https://www.jaycar.com.au/smd-tactile-s ... 0/p/SP0610 for the SMD tactile switches.

Hoefully you'll be able to source something locally. They looked pretty generic.
