    This is a small interview (by my usual standards!) with Jiayu, a girl in China who runs MagiGamer, a business she started making custom buttons and controls for various gaming handhelds. Tech, but with a custom twist :)

    She makes buttons for things like the Nintendo Switch, 3DS & DS handhelds, the Steam Deck and her recent favorite: AYN’s Thor (as well as the Odin 3), and more.

    I chatted to her a bit for some quotes to use in my AYN Thor article I shared here yesterday, but this is the full chat, only because I love the work she does and how she gives people an option to truly make a console unique for everyone. I thought it deserved to be shared :)

    There’s plenty of behind the scenes pictures of the effort she goes to, and detailed pictures of the handhelds with her buttons installed. I thought this was a fun little one to share, hopefully you like it too!

      For a moment I thought that you meant jacket buttons or something. You know, gaming -themed tiny buttons. 🤭 Interesting.

          Ah, no worries. It wasn’t all that confusing when I read your comment. Your writing style is nice.

          I agree that themed jacked buttons would be interesting. They would be tint versions of game controllers etc.

    This was a fun read! Her customizations are so cute and I love that she’s a Stardew Valley player as well.
