For those who are dissapointed with the bad ergonomical design of the navigationkey of the HTC-TYTN: (the design of the T-mobile variant is much better)
With this solution the pad can be directed more accurat and you will never push the wrong button (especialy the one in the center)
Use a max. 0,3 or 0,4 mm thick aluminiumsheet (if thicker, you get bad access to the OK buttons on the left and right)
If you have not the right thicknes you can easily reduce with a big hammer (Aluminium is very soft)
The opening size in the middle is exactly 10 x 8 mm, outside 16 x 14 mm.
The plate size in the middle is 5 x 4,5 mm
Take care to scrape the corners and edges round (for good finger feeling).
Polish the surface with fine sandpaper (to get same image as the existing front cover)
Glue with a superglue (Take care not to use too much or the remaining glue will drop in the gap between the buttons!!! TIP: Use a tape to cover the surrounding borders before you start glueing)
Happy Homework!
