[QUOTE="XLOOX, post: 676018, member: 16174"] normal twist bit & battery drill on a lowish speed should be fine. Since you will cry if you crack the case whilst drilling I suggest you practice drilling with a piece of scrap perspex & use the drill & bit you intend to use on the real deal. after a few holes you will find out how much speed & pressure you need ( not much of either) . Also importantly you can also ensure that the bit is the right size for the switch barrel- you dont want to find out the hole is slightly too small when drilling the case and then try & enlarge it with a slightly bigger bit as that is the best way to crack the case as the bit tip grabs the hole.
