It's one thing to conjure up your own controller, but to cut the cabling while you're at just makes the whole package that much sexier. Joining the growing array of wireless (and wired, too) DIY joysticks, DH020's all-white rendition does indeed mimic the Street Fighter edition we've already seen, but the plexi-glass top, white gloss paint job, and the "custom felt material base" just sets this one off. The project utilizes a bubbletop Sanwa stick, six 30-millimeter Sanwa buttons (and two of the 24-millimeter variety), a wireless Xbox 360 controller PCB, and to top it all off, a Play & Charge kit for USB recharging. Yeah, we too wish dearly that we could wrap our paws around this for a good week or two, but at least you can click on through and catch a video demonstration while you debate whether you're going to craft one of your own.
Great DIY project there, but for future video captures (this goes for everyone), unless there is a reason for the camera to move, please buy a cheap tripod or place the camera on a table =). Looks like this person doesn't want to share any secrets of manufacturing, or he didn't build it himself (since the website says "Personal Order", that can be read several ways), but there is enough info out there about the 360 controller that I think most anyone could make a similar project (even if it requires asking for some help).
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"

I'd pay $100 for that, if anyone wants to sell me one via ebay / paypal.
Ryu???
The wireless hack was done by me and sold to the maker of this stick.
Please adjust the post to reflect this.
