Very simple. Open up the Nanopad. You'll see that the Pads and the XY section are on totally different PCBs only attached by a ribbon cable. You can actually detach the ribbon cable easily and the XY pad is still functional. I just took a hacksaw to the plastic housing and cut the pad section completely out. Cut a small piece out of the scrape to cover the now open side of the XY pad.
Back when I was using windows, I could never get the pads to respond at all. XY pad worked fine. So I said screw it and ripped it apart.

That sounds like a sick sort of mini mod i might look into. Thanks man!

No problem, real simple. I want to build a controller that incorporates the xy pad and some of the extra arcade buttons I have around. Thats the grand plan.
