Yeah, that’s all beyond my abilities to figure out. Looking at my 602 it looks like the side buttons have their own board which is connected to the main board via ribbon cable. I thought it might be possible to do something similar with this one but I don’t know enough about electronics/mechanical engineering to figure that on my own. It’s still a really cool project though.
I suspect there’s a pretty big overlap between people willing to try jumping to Linux/wanting to get away from Microsoft’s bullshit and DIYers who find AutoCAD useful.
