With the GPD Win 1 and XD/XD+, it was easy to replace the Joysticks with those for the Vita Slim (Blue Ribbon with 4 Contacts), and replace the DPad with a 3DS DPad. Ending result was a much better feel and improved response. Not to mention, the Joysticks that come with the GPD XD and Win, have a Covering that can easily tear. using it afterwards is a pain.
Now look at the Win 2.....
It is a little more complicated. According to The Phawx on YouTube, I would have to Disassemble it a good amount, but should not have to do anything to the Heatsink
So the Question remains........what will be involved in able to replace the Joysticks and the DPad?????? Not to mention, able to put a Custom Decal on it????

You have to disassemble pretty far to get to the keyboard membrane. The good news is you can get to it and leave the heatsink alone. The SoC is on a daughter board that can be disconnected without having to disassemble the heatsink. You COULD replace the thermal paste, just be aware you will need to use a lot because of the gap that exists, or use shims
