That sounds cool, but I'm too damn lazy to do it myself...

It seems too much effort for me. You screw you warranty for things you're too lazy for it? Don't get me wrong, I'm all up for system mods, but this is kind of... pointless. Especially if you end up losing things because your pad is off, like not being able to use Youtube and probably Netflix too. These are the apps I use the most on my Wii U and having to turn on the Gamepad in order to use those apps (and the Quick Boot too, of course) kind of kills the need for this mod.

You lose two of the best features of the console, the Remote Control and the Quick Boot,  and also prevents you from using some little things, like Youtube and maybe other apps because of "I hate the pad"? Not my cup of tea.

I don't lose quick boot. I can use that when I want. But if I'm using the Pro controller I am obiously booting it from that power button. And the TV remote I never used. So That's not a loss for me. Also warenty isn't a issue anyway. In less then 7 months that expires for me. Besides,the mod is reversable. I'm still hoping Nintendo patches in a non boot option. I could of mounted the switch to the areas were the dock wheels go in. But then I'd have to remove one of the guide wheels out of the dock stand.

Another thing. Nintendo is very good at buidling in short protection. I intentionally tried shorting out a DS Lite that was trash. If you unplug any of the screens, it shut off. No doubt if anything did short. The Gamepad would power off. I've also tested it by switching it on and off while on, for durability.

Thanks for the info! I personally don't mind leaving it on. Usually I play on the gamepad so that I can watch something on TV whilst playing.
