Hi This is my first attempt to try and hack a gamepad I have done my homework reading about common grounds, soldering. I thought I know enough, but after opening this thing.. I do not feel confidence that I know what I am doing This is the PCB inside of a USB Logitech Precision gamepad (10$) If anyone out there has hacked a gamepad before, plz take a look into these pics and give me some tips. If you have the time, I would really appreciate if you can pin point one or two locations on the picture for me. Thx You. I will keep this gamepad progress updated! ;D |

Not to dissuade you from hacking, but another option is a $20+ GPWiz from GGG: |

see the contact #sw2 ? notice the bottom part has 2 contact leads. there is a ground. going to sw4 any spot that has 2 contacts is a ground hard to tell with the pics but seams to me the top part of your contacts is signal and the bottom s are ground Sidwinders (old style ) (sound card plugins) and PS1 game pads are much more friendly to hack. There is nothing wrong with game pad hacks been doing them for a long time myself think about putting the game pad in a box with a male plug from radio shack ( Mine has 25 pins, I think) then make your CPs 25 pin female. You can have many differant CP's this way and only have to wire up 1 Game pad. |
