Ipod Touch Button Mod Idea
« on: February 02, 2008, 03:10:32 PM »
To me, the Controller dock method just isn't feasible, so I've got an idea for a simpler mod. Since the touch screen can also sense a stylus, or materials such as staples and aluminum foil, I've got an idea for a button mod using some of the rubber-plastic style buttons on the PSP with some foil attached to the back. Then attach to a silicone case, and we're done.
Some quick schematics in paint:

if you used a solid piece os silicone like the type of thing ontop of buttons in the psp or ps controllers thatd be cool. could slid it on or something. i would want anything remotely able to scratch the screen on it though. but coool idea. how do you plan on making the mold and stuff?

Ken i wouldnt have done it any other way

Incase make a case the surrounds the back, you could slip something underneath it.

i think he meant to have it just overlay the buttons which are on the screen no hard modding.

I've made a parts List.

1 iPod Touch
1 NES Controller
1 Cereal Box
1 Pair of Scissors/Scalpel
1 Incase protective cover for iPod Touch

1. Dissasemble the NES Controller and remove the Buttons and Rubber
2. Cut the Cereal box so that it slips into the Incase cover, and covers the button area, but keeps the screen area clear.
3. Mark on the cardboard where to cut the Button Holes
4. Cut the button holes
5. Place buttons underneath cardboard so they stick through
6. Place Incase Cover on
7. Boot up NES Emulator and check it works.

When i get my Incase Cover, i'll show you what i mean, but unless someone makes a full screen mario bro's NES Emu on the internet for iPhone and iTouch, i wont be able to do a POC.
