Anybody Here Build Their Own Xbox One Arcade Stick?

[SlammedNiss]

I purchase Dig Dug/PacMan/Galaga last week on my Xbox One Arcade. Figured for $2 for all 3, why not. Started playing them today, only to quickly realize the Xbox One controller absolutely sucks for these types of games. I wouldn't mind building my own Xbox One compatible arcade stick, if I could keep it on the cheap.

So, looking for some ideas I guess. Mostly how would I interface it so the Xbox One can recognize the controls.

Haven't pulled this out in years... http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,113154.msg1201658.html#msg1201658
But I'm sure an Xbox 360 fightstick would work.

You have a couple options:

1: Hack an actual Xbox one controller. This will be cheap if you already have one. This will require soldering and the risk of messing up the controller.

2: Buy a retail ready made one, TBH this is going to be the easiest and possibly cheapest route. 50-150$

After doing a quick search it doesn't look like there is a cheap ready to go encoder for the Xbox one. After getting all the needed parts you are probably going to be around or even more then just a ready to play one.

Someone correct me if I am wrong. All the cheap encoders ive seen only with with PS3/4 and PC.

yeah that would be my choice, but 100 bucks is cray cray.

Well damn. I was hoping it would be cheaper to build my own, but it's looking like that isn't going to be the case.
