LEDs for your NDS buttons |
Ó
Anyway, our featured mod today is one that was mailed in to us by Grandpasmurf. Using a tutorial that he found over at AcidMods, he placed blue LED in the buttons of his DS Lite, and replaced the buttons themselves with more transparent ones. We have to admit that the effect's VERY interesting.
He put together a short clip to show that the mod works perfectly, so take a look and see if it inspires you to make something like it. Do tell us if you do!

the D-Pad up button. Almost all new DS lites have problems with the Up arrow on the D-Pad. To make it work you have to push it really hard. This is noticeable when playing FPS games like Golden Eye, Metroind Prime, and other shooting games, even animal crossing. I hope this is better.
This is one of the weirder mods out there. I think it would be sort of distracting to have bright lights under your fingers while playing, but if your screen is right there too, maybe it wouldn't be so bad.
i didn't know the ds has goldeneye title.
hehehe
No offense but personally I think it sucks. I think it would be a little distracting, maybe if the light color was a soft blue it would look cooler.
Ok the led's are actualy soft blue the camcorder I used to recored it for some reason the ires takes in too much light if you look at this picture of how it actualy look in natural light.. http://www.acidmods.com/forum/gallery/1_18_11_06_9_20_25.JPG
i thought it was funny when he scratched himself
I Wish mine was like that but thats really sweet
doesn't that drain the battery light?
Yes true but we're talking about 2x leds with maybe a resistor or two which wouldn't add that much more battery load at all. I doubt that the difference between a non modded and this on'es battery life would be the same still.
Actually He used 5 leds not 2 because each button has its own led. I too have put leds in my ds and the battery drainage is almost the same as normal due to the little amout of energy the leds have. The video makes the leds look alot brighter than they really are. I will be posting my DS lite led mods on this site too as soon as I recieve my clear case from www.nds-central.com
If the bright light is a problem, you can always use a lower spectrum color like red. Probably why you see so many cars with (not a personal favorite) red backlit gauges. But yah, like Rocky said, LED's use very little voltage at all, PLUS they last a long time
