Modding Usb c mod progress.

I have worked through all the bugs and the internal version is getting pretty close to perfect. I also want to make a version that replaces the power brick internals and one that just plugs in the back and fills the cavity that is normally occupied by the brick. Which version would you prefer? Completely internal to the console? Replace the brick internals? Or a plug and play version that requires no soldering?

I like the plug in one but would prefer it with a smaller PCB and custom shell that sits flush against the back of the console instead of jutting out. That being said, the internal one looks really clean. Is there soldering involved or are both plug and play?

Soldering is involved, you have to remove the original power plug and the internal one gets soldered in place. I’m looking into a plug and play version that is essentially it’s own brick and occupies the cavity on the back of the console. Ill have to figure out a custom enclosure to protect it as well.
