Tactile GBA membranes: buttons that respond again
On a worn Game Boy Advance, the rubber membranes wear out and the contacts oxidise: you have to press hard, or several times. This tactile membrane kit from TicKnot replaces those membranes with elements featuring gold-plated contacts and stainless steel springs, with a very short travel. A useful repair for a Game Boy Advance with unreliable buttons.
What it does
- Gold-plated contacts: they resist oxidation better than the original pads.
- Stainless steel springs: a crisp return on every press.
- Very short travel: presses are registered quickly.
- Stated lifespan: 1 million presses without degradation according to the manufacturer.
- Two versions: kit only, or kit with screwdriver.
What it doesn't do
- It changes the feel: the buttons become clicky, unlike the original soft touch.
- It doesn't repair a motherboard trace eaten away by corrosion: that must be restored first.
- It doesn't fit the Game Boy Advance SP or the Game Boy Micro.
Compatibility
Game Boy Advance (model AGB-001). The Game Boy Advance SP and Game Boy Micro are not covered.
Skill level
You need to open the console: the Game Boy Advance's outer screws have tri-wing heads. Clean the motherboard contacts before fitting. Intermediate level.
In the box
- 1 tactile button membrane kit for Game Boy Advance.
- 1 screwdriver, in the "Kit with screwdriver" version.
Delivered in 10 to 18 days · shipped within 3 to 5 days · 2-year legal guarantee of conformity · returns within 14 days.

The idea: get responsive buttons back
A Game Boy Advance whose A button only responds every other time usually has a worn membrane on an oxidised contact. Open the console, clean the contacts, fit the new membranes and close it up: every press registers again.
The part: TicKnot tactile membranes
TicKnot replaces the original conductive rubber with tactile elements featuring gold-plated contacts and stainless steel springs, with very short travel. The manufacturer states 1 million presses without degradation. The feel becomes clicky.
Our support: tools and cleaning
To open the Game Boy Advance, you need a tri-wing screwdriver, included in the version with screwdriver. Our Workshop section also offers what you need to clean the contacts. Unsure about your console? Our customer service will reply within one working day.

Why buy here rather than on a marketplace
It is a fair question. Here is the answer, straight.

A question about compatibility, a fit problem, a return: you write, a human replies within 1 business day. In French.
The 2-year legal warranty of conformity is handled by us — not by a form on the other side of the world. And 14 days to change your mind, with no need to justify yourself.
We do not claim to be the cheapest. We claim that you will know exactly what you are buying before you pay.
