X1 Button Rearranging?

[psylozen]

Hi Guys,

I'm curious about the internals of the X1... anybody taken theirs apart yet?

I'm wondering if it's possible to move the physical buttons around... I'd like to swap my cue and sync buttons since I'm used to having cue and play beside each other, not above.

I know I can easily just remap the buttons to do what I want, but then the label on the button doesn't match it's function.

If the buttons are just individual piece of rubber, it should be trivial to move them around... but if it's a single sheet of rubber w/ say, 2 x 4 buttons, it would require some surgery...

Thoughts?

You could just modify the mapping, right? Then only the labels on the X1 would be wrong, but who cares

lol, I think he covered that in his original post

If you are feeling brave enough to open the case, which you would have to do anyway to move the buttons around, just have a quick look and see.

If and when you do open it take lots of pictures so we can see it to.

I'll take a peek this weekend I guess... can't be any trickier than the laptop I ripped apart to replace the screen the other week, w/ no service manual.

cheers!

Well... I just tried to take it apart...

-Removed all the screws from the bottom.
-Removed knobs
-Pried on it gently to get the top off
-Pried harder
-Put knobs back on
-Put screws back in.

No joy. I didn't want to pull too hard on it... didn't want it to come apart in a bad way.

Unless someone's willing to risk braking theirs to get a peek at the guts, I'd say we're stuck w/ it the way it is.

Maybe one could sand the labels off and relabel them?

You could just go to your local copy shop and get some small decals to go on top of the buttons. Might not light up the same but you wouldn't have to break your X1 trying to get it apart.
