I got A LOT of buttons, glass screen shields, the other three builds button PCBs, some stickers, seriously a lot of stuff from https://store.kitsch-bent.com/ his store is unfortunately closed as he has had life catch up to him and has some shit to attend to. If he comes back online show him some love.

Stuff I got from kitsch
PCB board with LR input points
Buttons for X/Y (you can opt to just get replacement snes or an extra set of Gameboy buttons.
Glass screen that fit the GB shell after removing extra plastic


And obviously you should have a pi zero/w as well a shit ton of patience.

Seems as if you have all the parts you would need for a basic build. I'm still a bit new to this myself, so hopefully someone else will correct me if I'm off the mark.

I used the following parts:

• (1) Hammond 1590G
  
• (1) 3V Blue Lamp Metal 14mm Threaded Momentary Push Button Switch
  
• (4) Neodymium Magnets 1/4" x 1/8" Disc
  
• (8) Neodymium Magnets 1/8" x 1/8" Disc
  
• (1) 18650 Flat Tip Battery Holder
  
• (2) 6x6mm x 8.5mm PCB Momentary Tactile Push Button
  
• (1) .030" Thick, Clear Lexan - Polycarbonate
  
• 20AWG Stranded Wire
  
• (1) Varitube 510 Connector
  
• (1) SX350 Chip (Pre-wired for up/down switches and USB From Varitube)
  
  I think that's it. I also have a few additional parts for the lighted push button, but you wont need those if you use a regular one. I can always post that info if you need it.
  
  Check the FAQ for tool recommendations for the basics you would need there.
  
  The SX350 allows for gravity changes (by tilting left/right) to control the wattage and uses it for menu navigation so the buttons are only there if you want more direct control.
  
  
  edit: If your SX350 does not have the buttons pre-wired there are pads for them on the chip you can wire your own. I believe there is a software update to enable them from Yihi. The one I got from Varitube was already set up for them.
  
  Normal momentary buttons are fine. I used something like This but any tactile switch should work fine.
  
  I have some of these on order as they look/feel a bit nicer then the basic plastic ones i have now.
  
  You might want some magnets for the faceplate. I got some 1/8"x1/8" and 1/4"x1/8" rare earth magnets off amazon and epoxied them in. Check the FAQ for some recommendations on glues and such.
  
  I would also recommend heat shrink tubing and some liquid electrical tape for the solder connections.
  
  Hope that helps.

Didn't take days. Less than an hour, but at the same time I've done about 3-4 of these before so I was already familiar with the inside of a 360 controller.

Here's the tall tactile switches you need for the paddles: http://www.amazon.com/Amico-Momentary-Tactile-Button-Switch/dp/B008420WOA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1394140371&sr=8-3&keywords=tactile+switches

That's 100 of them which is way too many, but only buying 3 or 4 is still only like $1 less...so I bought 100 and they've lasted me through various projects.

You also need (it looks like a lot more than it really is, but I'm being detailed)

• Hot glue gun
  
• Some kind of thin wire (salvages phone cable or wire from usb cable works)
  
• Some kind of material to make paddles out of (mine are heat shields from a Server CPU...but any kind of plastic/metal strip will work). I've made them from pen caps, erector sets, and prescription bottles before.
  
• Soldering Iron + Solder
  
• The correct driver to take apart your controller. The Xbone needs two special torx drivers.
  
• Drill and various bits. (If you have taps, that makes some of it easier as your screws wont be threading the plastic)
  
• Small screws to hold paddles on (I pulled mine from my random screw bin)
  
• Whatever screws you want for trigger stops (if you want them). I like knobby allen head screws so I can undo them by hand if I want
  
• If you want adjustable triggers some kind of small screws for that as well. I've done adjustable only on the right, both adjustable and neither. I'm on the fence about them. They helped with the FAL in BO2, but I never felt the need for them in ghosts.

If you can solder make a scuf tbh

I am an electronics refurbisher and I have had scuf like products come in before and a lot of the time they end up being a controller with some holes drilled in it with paddles and a board you can find online for like 15$ and do yourself

Accidentally posted this below in reply to your comment:

I don't think Kite specifies a type of button. These will work though: https://www.amazon.com/9-5mm-Momentary-Tactile-Button-Switch/dp/B008420WOA
