Original post by sir crx of the MaxConsole Forums. Check these out. If I had a Wiimote, this may be one of the things that I may do to it.






Photoshoped? Naw. Check out his YouTube video.
Video.

Wow, that's amazing! How the heck did he do that?

Digg.com has some interesting stuff on there.

woa....awesome....how expensive/hard would it be to get that done??
Wow, that's cool! =D Pretty colors! =3
finding the right LED's is going to be hell.
Where the hell is purple.

Good find tho!
People did similar things to GCN controls.
i've searched several sites, but it's just pics and the video. he never does a tutorial on how to do it Sad
Cool.....Smile
It looks really cool to me but unless a shop does it here for me I wouldn't try it on my own, especially since Wiimotes have become scarce here lately.
Aww, what a noob. Lol, j/k. That is an awesome mod though.
so, is this possible to be accomplished by the common man yet?
Wow thats COOL!!!
wow, someones been eating their Wheaties

i'm not sure about the A button lighting up, but the channel select lights are simple to change. just replace the LED light with one of a different color. i think for the A button you just have to continue the circuit to another LED light under the button. sounds simple enough, but without a guide i wouldn't be able to do it

any idea what I could use as a substitute for the
three-pronged screwdriver bit required?
If it's like modding an xbox controller, you split it open by whatever means and then remove the button

you then get your LEDs and attach an appropriate resistor to all of the cathodes and solder it all up,

use a multimeter to find the power rails on the Wiimote PCB and solder a wire to the +6V and one to the 0V attach the +V to the cathode and the 0V to the anode

then use a hot glue gun to fix the LEDs where you want them and let it dry

then peice it all back together and prey you didn't blow anything.
And looking at the times he has taken the photos, scratch all I just said

He has changed the LED for each of the channel lights and then used the + and 0 rails from the LEDs on the channel LEDs to power one he has put adjacent to the A button, I.e. follow my guide above but get the power from the channel lights rather than the main power rails.


and from the looks of things he has arranged the LEDs arround the a button like so
