Putting the controller at the other end of the controller wire #108

Hi

I've seen some requests for wifi/bluetooth. And the answer is that there's just not enough room for a wifi chip inside the button housing.

So that got me thinking. The wire from the stock button controller connects to one of the legs. Would it be possible to design megadesk to be installed at that end instead? So plug the "leg end" of the controller wire into megadesk, and then another wire from megadesk into the leg. That would give you infinite room for whatever hardware you wanted. And you could house it all in any generic hardware enclosure.
