To tell the truth, I over simplified the description of why it's difficult. Part of the assembly is a couple of custom PCBs, one of which holds ports for cables that go to each button. That custom PCB is technically what runs out of room, though the side plate that holds the thumb buttons is also limited in space
Yeah, that's all beyond my abilities to figure out. Looking at my 602 it looks like the side buttons have their own board which is connected to the main board via ribbon cable. I thought it might be possible to do something similar with this one but I don't know enough about electronics/mechanical engineering to figure that on my own. It's still a really cool project though.
