The stock d-pad on my FPGBC could be pressed down activating all directions at the same time. This made playing games like Tetris very frustrating. I would be pressing left or right, and it would often register up, causing a hard drop.

I first attempted to fix this by partially covering the d-pad contacts with kapton tape, and using a bit of electrical tape to prevent the d-pad from being pressed straight down. This kind of worked, but it sacrificed sensitivity and made diagonals very difficult.

I found this model https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4710169 which seemed like it might work. The dimensions were slightly off for my FPGBC, so I made a new model to fit it. I've included a few different heights. The one that worked best for me is 0.12mm.
