Question Louii BOM Issues

[bobc1674]

Hi! I am hoping to build a louii, but am having some issues in the BOM provided(not complaning though, thanks for adding a BOM gingerofoz!). Does anyone know of alternitives to the speakers listed on the BOM? The speakers are out of stock and the lead time is 2026... And i am also trying to order the copper sheet, but every time i click add to cart it dosnt do anything? not sure if im missing something on that. One last question lol, the switch joysticks listed on the BOM is no longer up on ebay, is there a different recommend place to buy them? I have seen some swtich joystick replacements on Aliexpress, but i am not sure what i should be looking for/what is compatible, so not 100% sure on what to order lol. Sorry for all the questions

Starting with the Switch joysticks, you should be able to just snag whatever Switch joysticks are available on amazon, ebay, or probably aliexpress will work fine too. Really any replacement Switch joystick should work in theory. As for the speakers, they appear to be in stock on DigiKey. Here's the link for them:

If for whatever reason you can't get your hands on them, I do have a small handful of extra speakers, so I could probably send you some.

I'm not sure about the copper sheet website problem. You might try and source it from a different website? So long as the thickness of the copper is correct, you could even order your own sheet of copper and cut it out - that's what I've done since I've made a few portables.

Ah i didnt realize those speekers would work, thanks for the link! The reason i was confused was becasue the link on the BOM (here), had speakers out of stock. But if the link you sent will work then, thank you so much! And thanks for the clarification on the switch joysticks, lol just wasnt sure if there was any issues with diff third party switch joystick replacements.

After looking at the dimensions for the speaker, the one you sent is .4mm taller than the ones in the BOM. I am not sure if that is enough height difference to be an issue during the build? Sorry if this is obvious lol, still learning

I'm pretty sure those are the exact same ones I used in mine, so I think it should be fine. Worst case the speakers might make the controller boards stick up a tiny bit, shouldn't be enough to matter though. At that point you could probably modify the shell a bit to accommodate it.
