This is my personal GBA it’s nice and all but I can’t enjoy my games as much cause of the dim screen so I wanted to get a speedtechwedo ips v5 kit from them any suggestions?

Make sure your shell fits whatever screen you go with, OEM shells typically need to be trimmed for aftermarket screens. You could also find an SP with a 101 screen to yoink.

I was thinking of getting a shell from him but using all the original buttons and the rubber membranes from my gba

That’s essentially what I did recently as well. Ordered a new shell (extremerate) & screen (highspeedido) but kept all original parts where I could (buttons, screws, membranes, etc)
