So I've had my 3DS with the capture card since February this year. I plan to play Smash Bros for the 3DS when it comes out in NA, and have heard that controller grips will make the experience more enjoyable, as I'll probably be playing for long periods at a time. If I were to be recording or streaming I definitely would be playing for at least a few hours, so I want the experience to be as comfortable as possible.
My question is: Are there any 3DS controller grips that work with the 3DS with the capture card, and if not, does anyone know how I could modify one so that it could be used?
I'm sure my experience would be fine without the controller grip, but if what I have heard is correct I think I would prefer to use one if possible.

I believe the back for the USB port for streaming is a few mm wider than normal so if it is just a grip that slides in and doesn't enclose the whole 3DS it should work.

I've also been looking into this for the exact same reason. I've found a lot of 3DS grips out there, but out of all of them I think the Mario Kart 7 wheel would be the best one.

I chose this one mainly because I feel the shoulder buttons on the normal 3DS are small and after playing Smash for a while my index fingers start to hurt. This grip adds improvements to both shoulder buttons and looks easy to mod since there is no plastic covering the micro usb port on the capture board. Some slight cutting of the plastic on the grip should make a 3ds with the capture board fit.

Forget what I said. I tried modding the MK7 grip and it was a disaster. The plastic was too thin and when I cut it, the shape and the triggers got destroyed. I'm still looking for a better grip though.

If you know someone that models I can 3D print one.
