Ducky Pocket disassembly
« on: Wed, 12 April 2017, 06:33:40 »
Has anyone opened up a Ducky Pockey? I'm hoping to disassemble it so that I can install Zealios into them. Anyone with experience?

i don't see why you couldn't do it

just don't pry too hard or at too tight an angle if it's snap together.

If it's anything like an Alpsulator it'll be a massive pain in the ass to take apart. With the Alpsulator you need to pry the case until you're sure it's going to break before it'll come undone, I only know of one other person taking theirs apart and they broke it.
People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

The dumber the reason the more it must be done

I just opened mine. There are 3 tabs on each side of the front cover. No screws other than on the plate to remove the PCB.

Just finished it up. I swapped the brown switches out for 67g Lubed Zealios. I also didn't like all the black so I did a vinyl wrap on the plate. Here is some pics, sorry for the poor quality, my mother in law borrowed my DLSR.

Nice work there Coco. The RGB diffraction seems lacking with the stock plate, so I'm thinking about making my plate white as well.
