Pots in place of Tact Switches?

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

Pots in place of Tact Switches?

Post by S q u e e ! »

Could I just desolder the tact switches from the PSone screen and replace them with volume/brightness pots like on other pocket TVs? I think it would be a little more convinient for me, and would like tips if it is at all possible.
