Message: <blockquote data-quote="sotie" data-source="post: 64947" data-attributes="member: 1142">I purchased an iCade Core last week to be ready for Pinball Arcade's support of it.  I also ordered four high quality arcade buttons and installed them on the sides of the iCade.  I wired the new buttons into the existing buttons and they will be used for left flipper/nudge and right flipper/nudge.  The modification came out great.  I also added an on/off switch on the back on the unit because the iCade doesn't come with a power switch (turns off on it's own after a period of inactivity).  Since the iCade is essentially a bluetooth keyboard in order to enter keyboard mode for text entry you have to go into settings and turn bluetooth off; so with my new power switch all I need to do is flip the switch to enter keyboard mode immediately without having to go into settings. Also, now that I've taken it apart and seen the insides of the iCade Core I can say that it would be pretty easy to construct an iPad mini-cabinet using the iCade circuit board and buttons/wiring if you are inclined to go that route.Here are a couple of pics showing the new flipper/nudge buttons and the power switch.  The white buttons are flipper and black are nudge.<img src="http://i1169.photobucket.com/albums/r514/abir37/e040dcc3-eed4-4ec8-83e7-92f24426d9fd.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i1169.photobucket.com/albums/r514/abir37/4db74970-4e85-44b3-8e11-c7ea6081b454.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
