Yeah, I think you are the only one.

Somebody goes through the time and effort of offering a how-to (which Ben does frequently) and you insult him?

Been waiting 2 weeks for a new import to arrive (i;m in the UK). It did today, and I'm past the first hurdle. Thumbsticks are off with no damage, and I'm just gonna leave that socket on the board and solder the wires to its pins.

Btw, the motors will be easy they are almost identical anyway, and also the motion sensor is fixed on the controller motherboard so that bit will be a bit easier, if I finally get to that stage.

Then a wire (the PS button switch) on that main connector "socket" started playing up and in my attempts to cure it, its started going more and more wrong. Eventually it started generating random button presses and even though there was no identifiable shorts, so I think mabey a component on the mother board got shorted and electronically damaged.

Dudes' this is a HARD project. Mainly because of that connector being so small.

Yup it has motion sensing, but its now an intergral part of the motherboard instead of a extra bit wired on and attached to the case.

I've given up now, cant bear to start again. Still got the remains left if anyone wants them (the 360 Elite controller shell, triggers, resistors, switches, leds etc), may save someone a bit of cost.

Also does the controller retain its six-axis function after the mod?]]>Nov 29th 2008 6:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/Jan 11th 2009 8:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/
Getting the sticks off the board is the hardest part, believe me...

Leadfree solder sucks!...]]>Jan 24th 2009 11:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/
- nerves of steel
- lots of time
- even more luck (things go wrong in a heartbeat)
- money to burn (to buy new controllers to try again - and they are not cheap!)

Yes, you will fail, at least the first few times.

Charging the same price as a 360 console for this baby is CHEAP considering the stress, fail rate, time you have to put into this project, price of parts...

The fact that nobody has posted having succeeded at making another one says it all really...]]>Apr 5th 2009 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/Jan 29th 2009 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/
I really want to do one for myself, but I have a little questions.

In the section - "General tips on how the d-pad and buttons are wired:"

>There is a connection that goes to a 4.7k resistor and then to Common M.<

I guess you are talking about the Resistor 2 here, but when I trace the button grid, found that it was connect to "Common R", isn't it? Or I mess up something?]]>Mar 4th 2009 4:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/
and does anyone have any tips?]]>Mar 5th 2009 8:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/i wanna mod a sixaxis to fit it in a Guitar Hero controller to play the stupid GH1-2-80s without an ps2 ps3 adapter without whammy.
it would rather be the best thing ever happened.

the only thing that bugs me is when playing with a ps3 controller, the button you press act like a strum+fret. they are double, so the strum bar become useless.

anyway. massive props to you.

I can't wait, ill be getting an xbox controller tomorrow ready for modifying!!
Finally I must say thanks to Ben Heck for all this!]]>Aug 30th 2009 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/Sep 9th 2009 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/I am definitely going to try this mod. I love the 360 controller and it is where I first played FPSs on a console, so the PS3 controller feels rather weird. One question though, does anyone know if you have to get LEDs with a certain forward voltage rating, or does it not matter?]]>Oct 10th 2009 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/Jan 5th 2010 2:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/
