You seem to be mistaking me for someone who condemns hacking gamepads. You are wrong. I have no problem with those who don't take shortcuts, just as I don't have a problem with those who do. |

Randy's site is an awesome site, his products and his service are equally rated. I have no problems stepping up to bat for Randy and what he does for this community. It's also impressive that he even bothered to take apart one of his products and take the time to visually outline how you are wrong. Neat site...hah! Good one. :-\ @op: if you wanna hack a pad apart for the fun of it, go for it. But consider listening to some of the veterans here, you can save time and eliminate human-error by just buying a proven working product that is really not that much more expensive. Believe me, you'll want to spend your time on polishing up other things than just this one portion of your build. |

Which means it's not time-wasting IN the hobby but a hobby by itself. This topic is about how to find the (common) ground on a gamepad. First answers? "go by an ipac", "don't waste your time". Who's bitching? Talking about time: I hacked one yesterday evening. I don't have much time either and I have all the money I want to buy an i-pac but I find convenient to do it that way and i ENJOY it. Total time for wiring (with terminals) and hacking? 1h30. That's pretty decent. Now could we go back to the topic? --- End quote --- :cheers: I like hacking the gamepads, in fact I love to solder in general. Even if I had quick disconnects I would still solder onto the buttons. --- Quote from: opt2not on June 21, 2012, 02:06:17 pm --- --- Quote from: CoryDee on June 21, 2012, 05:19:45 am ---I was going to buy some but noticed your shipping costs were pretty high.

I'm still infatuated with doing everything myself with this new found hobby so I really actually enjoy the time and experience of hacking the game pads. I put my order through with Randy at GGG, and I can see why he has a great reputation around here. Super quick emails about the order. I can wait to get my stuff and get this thing started!!! @CoryDee - I have started to really enjoy doing the soldering. I havent ever soldered before doing the first gamepad I got from Amazon, and now I want to solder everything! |
