The button board
The button board is the one part I finished. It's a small direction pad with a rounded top edge, and each of the five switches is wired straight to its own pin instead of a scan matrix. It's ready to send out as gerbers.

Drawing the shell
I drew the shell in SolidWorks and redid the front piece at least once. I also made a separate part just for the battery holders.

Where the project stopped
It stopped in June 2022 with gerbers and CAD files, before any hardware or firmware. The repository hasn't been touched since, and I've archived the project.
