hi! ive seen a lot of wii trim project using the pth8080 or PTR08100 the thing is, where i live they are 25$ each without shipping. im looking at finding the cheapest way to power the wii trim. i thought about the "mini360 buck converter (adjustable output)" on aliexpress but i dont think they are reliable enough. i want to keep my budget as low as possible for the whole build. i just bought 3 different wii ( 1 was 6 layer by accident) and then 2 other ones that are 4 layer so that i have a spare if i mess up. i already put like 100$ on the project but i really dont want to pay 127$ for the rvl-pms-2. thanks a lot in advance!

im planning on using either 12v power from usb-c or 5v power
 
after a lot of research i found the glc1239 which looks promising with its different output possibilities such as 1v, 1.15v, 1.8v, 3.3v and even 5v what do y'all think ?
