What do you mean hack?
At first I thought you meant for arcade stick use, but then you mentioned flimsy, which wouldn't have any bearing on a gutted for arcade use controller.
The FPS Master is an excellent controller for hacking, especially since you can remap any button to another including the d-pad, and it stores 3 different settings.
As a controller... It could be excellent, and is in concept, but it is definitely flimsy. The triggers being the biggest problem. If you use the controller regularly, then it is pretty much a guarantee that a trigger (most likely the right one) will break.

Yep, i can attest (sp) them being flimsy POSs
Light use, fine.. any real gaming, there toast in a few sessions generally

i wanted to use the design of the fps master but use the more rugged controller s or a gamestop brand one and drill holes on the grips and move the lettered buttons to the grips. So i would like to know which xbox controllers are best to modify? Kinda like how certain dreamcast controllers are btter to use than others i have the same question for xbox controllers.
