These are 3D printable buttons designed for the GWii Rev 2. I couldn't find soft switches, but I had generic 5mm tact switches available:

(As a note, you do have to bend the pins slightly to fit in the 'pcb' through holes)

There are two versions of the buttons. The one I used has a 1mm pocket to add a rubber pad. I personally didn't like the plastic on plastic feel, so I cut 1mm rubber discs from the GameCube controller I stripped for analog buttons. It gives it a nice rubber-like feel, and you can feel the tactile contacts when you push the button.

The second version has the pocket removed, if you just want to use 5mm tact switches without any sort of soft medium.

A power button was also included for the USB-C board.
