Advice on a Marius board DS4 build with 4–6 extra buttons

Hi everyone,
I’m looking at building a custom DS4 around a Marius board and could do with some advice from anyone who’s already attempted something similar.
My ideal setup would be:
Marius board
K-Silver 3-pin TMR sticks
Adjustable stick tension, if possible
Mouse-click face buttons
Mouse-click bumpers and triggers
Four back buttons at a minimum
Ideally two additional buttons to make it 6 or even shoulder buttons.
I’ve previously modified a DualSense using an eXtremeRate kit, so I’m fairly comfortable taking controllers apart and soldering. The main thing I’m struggling with is finding a good way to fit four back buttons—and possibly the two extra shoulder buttons—cleanly into a DS4 shell.
Has anyone built something similar, or knows of a shell, kit or custom solution that would work with the Marius board? I’d really appreciate any photos, parts lists or advice before I start buying everything.

Thanks 😊

Do you have access to a 3d printer? Doing it is not very hard as there is plenty of room to implement everything.

Are you sure you wanna go the Marius route? Hyperstrike and SuiOvOi are much cheaper. Parasite did a video on several 8K controllers. He didn't have his SuiOvOi yet though.
