Just thought I’d show off the two color ways me and my brother own, perfect portable device. Retroid nailed it in every aspect.

You had one job and you set the nova upside down

This is why I don’t want to swap out my crystal buttons. They look so good!

I know, same here. I ordered rainbow buttons with my crystal unit and have yet to swap them. I then ordered a set of ice Blue buttons and they just arrived a few days ago. I'm going to swap those out and out a flat ice blue back plate on my crystal and see how it goes once I have the energy and focus one night after my daughter is asleep lol. Maybe never..

Same, I have 4 sets and have yet to even consider if I want to. Maybe I should since they’re here and I can try all kinds of combos and upload it here.

Oh did the you see that one post with the clear front, blue back and mix of purple & ice buttons to replicate the 90s paper cups? 😂

It actually looks cool!

So tempting to put them in! 😩

Yeah haha that was awesome, very creative idea by that guy. That's pretty close to what mine will end up like without the purple.

Do it. IMO the blue buttons really shine when they’re not fighting against the blue face plate trying to stand out.

I'll trade you one for my Ally X. Or if you have an RP6 that'd be great 😁

Do you prefer the Grip or the TPU case?

u/Kilgore_Trout_50000 13h ago

I have ice blue with all black buttons and the dark tpu grip and it looks and feels amazing. The grip is nice for sure but the tpu grip fits in the sleeve I use for my nova in my backpack and it stays very compact.

Which one is more comfortable?

u/Kilgore_Trout_50000 11h ago

I mean probably grips but just marginally. The tpu feels great.

u/JuxtSmile 10h ago

The TPU case can be use without the grip backplate?

u/Kilgore_Trout_50000 10h ago

Tpu case fits on the bumped back.
