If you have the original model Neo Geo Pocket Color (not the slim) and want a backlight kit that isn't that tiny 2.2" TFT kit, look no further. This kit was provided to me by RGRS and I'm very pleased with this iteration, especially compared to the previous: https://retrogamerepairshop.com/products/neo-geo-pocket-color-osd-q5-ips-backlight-mod-kit?variant=38002547163308

I'm very pleased with the performance of this kit. The battery life hit is a real shame but it's to be expected with the unusually low power draw of a stock NGPC.
