Replace your Wiimote's face


Stephen at Aeropause was browsing eBay, as people tend to do when they want to get into wallet-crushing trouble, and found a cool new mod for Wiimotes. A Chinese company called Shenzhen GC Electronics Co. is producing replacement faceplates for the Wiimote, with extra buttons and everything. You just take out the screws, pull the face off and replace. And to make this operation as simple as possible, each faceplate includes the required Tri-Wing screwdriver (which also lets you open up pretty much any Nintendo product.)

Given the frequent difficulties with eBay sellers based in China or Hong Kong, we'd buy this from a retailer, through which you could probably get some kind of buyer protection. We don't know anything about T-Move or Coolmods, but they both come recommended by Acidmods users, at least one of whom actually has the product (in a sharp black, too). It's a brilliantly simple mod that has little chance of ruining your controller, so we're giving it some thought.
