Very gutsy move hacking a presumably expensive controller. I love it ! Once you're sure it is the way you want, you might want to ditch the wire connectors and solder the wires in place. Connectors have a tendency of coming lose at the most inappropriate times. They seem to sense when you're showing your baby off to a friend or co-worker. Nice job. |

But trust me.. I killed a few 20 dollar 3rd party pads before I attacked the "big boy". I think you're right too. I used the Quick DC's for simplicity in putting it all together, but whether I keep this one or send it to my brother I think I'm going to have to solder those connections. |

DAMN YOU!!!!! :banghead: :P --- End quote --- Yes lol. You can do it! The Dpad, A B X Y and L and R shoulder, Select, Start, and Guide are all digital. You can work them using NO switch. I use Happ switches. The only thing is ALL the buttons have their own ground, so every button takes 2 solders @ the PCB. Anyway here's a good guide to get you going, this is with a wired pad, but the basics are the same. If you have any specific questions please ask, and good luck! http://www.gamersreports.com/article/24/ |
