My apologies if I'm asking a dumb question, but does the shutter button, main wheel, etc.,* work as usual? I'd love to have a battery grip for my T8i (like I did for my 350D) but obviously that's not quite possible.

* Actually I'm not sure exactly what buttons and controls are present on a T7i grip. My 350D grip had a shutter button, main wheel and a couple of other buttons (maybe AF lock, etc.) as I recall.

Never mind my question - I somehow overlooked this sentence in your post: "Don't care about the buttons working just needed the grip."
