So I picked up a XG6 about a year ago, on a quest to navigate fps games with the mouse alone. I knew going in the the whole "freedom of 3D" would be worthless, but I was drawn by the amazing amount of buttons. Needless to say it didn't really work out.

However, The software is crap, the position of the switches make for hand cramps, and the pinky finger hat... come on. Anyway, I was thinking of busting it open and trying to make the thumb hat into an 8-way.
Anyone else have one of these lying around? Possibly disassembled?
Or does anyone know enough about crappy hat switches to say whether this little project is possible?
