I'm very happy to be a part of the great WiiU community, I love my wiiu gamepad but it has some issues that are a bit inconvenient for me, I always want to start my wiiu independently of the gamepad as well as encounter gamepad battery drain issue so i want to make this button mod, hope you like it!

No pictures of the soldering job?
No pictures of the internals?
No work log?
sorry I didn't record a lot of details but I did take a picture when the button switch was attached to the case. I considered a lot of switches and decided to go with the standard 7mm x 7mm switch because it fits very well and has the best stability.

Before making this mod, we considered many ways to have the optimal between convenience and aesthetics, fortunately I work in 3D design so it helped me to make a quite satisfactory this mod. If you have a 3D printer you can find a print file of this mod on website cult3d.com called " WiiU emotion stand and button power " The power switch uses a common type to buy is 7mm x 7mm, it gives good performance and fit for Wiiu Gamepad case. Wish you have a nice time!

    very gud case, but make sure you have the kinda PSU with very flexible cables

    I'd like one with support for a couple 3.5" bays though

    not that, some psu like those corsair rm series stock cables have very big knicks that make it impossible to fit in there

    my friend had to order some custom cables for it
