well if you see the bottom picture i cover the nails head with black tape just to be sure it will not damage my keyboard buttons. also the nail are flat at the front side (anyone i think can do it). And ofcourse is a little bit thick. also you dont either need to add pressures to the buttons, just a little bit push. The position i put them is for select and start, quick load and quick save.

There's another mod to the GameGripper which I have done.
I've clipped the sides of a pin head (for the wood-boards) and snipped off the sharp point. Then I've extended the groove underneath the D-pad. I placed the pinhead in there, so that the D-pad no-longer makes direct contact with the buttons unless pushed down.
Voila!
You have a "rocking" D-pad, which increases the tactile something to make gaming a little better. Here's the tutorial:

Actually it is original (since they defined the context).
In fact, I'm spewing over this wondering how come I couldn't think of something like that. And since M$ is the one with ownership, I realize this design can never come to fruition (looks at Courier).
Currently: get a qwery-smartphone and carry a game-gripper.
This design: get this convertable-smartphone and carry the gamer slot (get dual-joysticks and X[_]O/\ layout buttons

Can you provide some examples of such a case?
I don't know of any personal computers that has a slot/space which can be equipped with different types of modules (keyboard/hid, battery, cpu, etc).

They were such a pain but you wanted one to have (high-speed) Wifi, or Bluetooth, or other things like an iR-receiver for the remote controller. There were even TV-Tuners based off them, but USB became a more practical standard.
I don't think this will bring a new technology, but if adopted it could as well bring a new technology design. Still sucks it wont ever see the light of day
