Physically swapping buttons on OFA remotes

Post by difi »

This is an easy one to answer to anyone who has popped one open... :-)

If you open the remote, can the same-sized buttons be swapped around on the 8811/8910/etc.? (Or are they attached in some way, shaped differently at under the shell, or otherwise limited to their exact locations.)

I was hoping that I would be able to move around the source buttons to reflect my system usage.

The rubber buttons are usually all part of a single membrane. While you could cut out individual buttons (of the same shape) to relocate them, I don't think the finished product would be very appealing or long lasting. It's probably easier to retrain your fingers! ;)
