Post here everytime you get something new!

Got myself one of these today. Actually, this one's not for me, but for a friend. Therefore I was extra nervous when handling the soldering iron (I suck!)
Took me about three hours to desolder and extend the LCD and buttons. I didn't manage to desolder the buttons so I had to piggyback the new ones. I guessed that it would be OK since the buttons don't send signals but rather sends them to GND. It worked perfectly (and I've got two sets of buttons!)
Now, I'll just have to find myself a nice, cheap LCD bezel and I'm good to go to punch this one into an Amiga 500!
Wish me luck!

Indeed you can solder a header for buttons which is what I did

Same, was very simple to do.

Was trying to make a clean mod, attach the controller where the floppy resides and have the buttons and LCD on the upper case with headers so that they could be easily removed.
Hopefully, my mate won't try to bend his miggy open after receiving it.

If you build the connectors out of proto-board it's 100% reversible (hxc):











The only thing that isn't "removable" on my hxc without soldering is the connector block for the buttons I soldered on - but because its a connector block the wiring for the external buttons is removable.
