Guitar Hero Controller Anti Double-Strum Mod (Wii Version)

Step 2 Padding the switches

With the strum bar circuit board exposed, we can now see the switch assembly. What we will do is mount some foam around the switch actuators (the white plastic pieces in the switch assembly pictured below) for the strum bar to rest on and absorb the rebound. It will need to come up higher than the white plastic parts.

Take some double-sided mounting tape and cut out a hole for the switch actuator, making sure that it is not blocked or impeded in any way. I used an x-acto knife to make the cuts. Make sure that yours is new and sharp. The second picture below shows what the cuts will look like when the x-acto knife blade is worn and dull.

Cut some foam to size and adhere to the mounting tape. Make sure that the foam comes above the switch actuator, with about 1/4" to 3/8" clearance. It needs to provide just the right amount of resistance to strum bar rebound without interfering with normal gameplay. I used foam from a microphone shipping container and a worn and dull x-acto knife. Once again, I recommend new and sharp.

Reassembly, as usual, is the reverse of disassembly. Be sure to include the strap buttons in the first reassembly to avoid a second disassembly and reassembly.
