Alright quite simple, does anyone know of any pads for the from facing buttons, or have a schematic of solder points. The idea is I'd like to make my + on my Right Joy-Con double as an RCM button, just to keep it looking as visually normal on the outside of the Joy-Con as possible.

Figured I'd move away from just soldering the two pin pads permanently, and I like the idea of a button, but I want it to just blend into the visual design, and a outward shell mod to add a new button would just stand out way too much.

Some people were using magnetic switches that can penetrate the case.

Page 2 of

appears to have it (inside top of the joycon, bottom right hand side of the image).

It should be said though that if you are big enough and ugly enough to dream up a mod like this that you could be expected to poke it with a scope or multimeter -- looking at that shot then you could find out in minutes.
