Lily G. ★★★★★

The thumbwheel is a perfect drop-in fit for my GBA, and the resistance feels just like the original. No more scratchy static when I adjust the volume wheel.

Jacob ★★★★★

After a few minutes of soldering, the new thumbwheel clicks into place perfectly and rotates with that satisfying resistance the originals had when new. Fixed the crackly audio on my GBC and the volume control feels buttery smooth again.

Edward D. ★★★★★

My old Game Boy Advance volume wheel was so scratchy it was almost unusable, but this replacement is perfectly smooth and the contrast adjustment is crisp again. Installation was straightforward and took maybe ten minutes with a screwdriver.
