Re: Joeys MiniCube
Ditched the old case, decided to use the soft case instead, added a spacer to add a bit more width so the case is more comfortable for me to work with. already got an external battery pack wired up, clips right to your pants/belt and is quite comfortable, will take a pic tomorrow when I get back from my dads.
case may not be beautiful, but its good enough for me 
my plan for the R/L buttons is to use the original pots and just put a small hole in an X/Y button from another controller. then stick the pot into the side and have the tact at the bottom for the full press. excuse the dirty fingers

Honor the XL Softcase tradition!

Sand the whole sucker down 3 times. Refile your D-Pad and SD card slots, and round out your L/R and 3DS Stick holes. Then it will look as sleek and sexy as

Re: Joeys MiniCube - Case Near Finished
Why not use mechanical keyboard switches like ALPS or Cherry? I'd imagine that would be easier than that setup!

Got a job today, so I can start ordering some of the parts I need to finish this next week when I get my paycheck. Don't really expect any actual updates for the next 3-4 weeks.

Beauty case!!!! I like, It's black
Keep up the good Work man.
I have some laptops destroyed and have many mini-buttons like the man posted 2 or 3 post before.
Are these mini-buttons like for a GCP? Just curious with them...
Good Luck!!!!
