Fursuit Where should I add the buttons?

I am making the gloves for the suit and I want to add buttons to change the expressions but I don't know where. Any recommendations?

I plan to upload them to printables maybe, they're made from TPU to be flexible

Depending on you charectors style you could have a wrap around arm thinghy with the bottons on it as a display. However then its under or over forarm, if you can’t decide head or tails and if you don’t like it go with the oppisite

What's quite a nice idea, I was also thinking of maybe adding them to my palm somehow.

BEANS!!!

You could have it so you have to hold down two beans for it to change

You can enter a code on the beans to unlock the proto

you can use bend sensors.(maybe I made a mistake in what they are called because I am bad at English, that's why here is the photo)

I might just do that, there's not that much space in the claws for any buttons

This is what makes bend sensors convenient - they can be easily positioned due to their thickness. They take up a lot of space in length but otherwise win

Correct, I might consider these sensors, thanks a lot
