"a few moths ago, acidmods got a request from a disabled gamer who had controller usage problems. "

Literally the first line of text explains why he modded the controller the way it is.]]>Oct 5th 2009 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 8:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/
First of all: the left analog stick is the main input on the controller... the analog stick on the DualShock should be in the place where the D-Pad is, just like the 360, Gamecube, Dremcast, Xbox controllers... then, the triggers: the 360 triggers are concave, and the DualShock triggers are convex; same with the analog sticks: the 360 ones are concave and the DualShock are convex.]]>Oct 5th 2009 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/
My only complaint about the 360 controller is the location of the analog sticks. My left hand is a mirror image of my right, so why aren't the analog sticks in mirrored positions of eachother? If the 360 controller had the left analog stick and d-pad swapped, it'd almost be perfect.

Either way, N64 controller = #1.]]>Oct 5th 2009 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/
I prefer the PlayStation controller still. But i'm not that fussed to say i'll stop playing my 360 because i don't like the controller, because i do like it. Just prefer the PlayStation one.

One thing i dislike on the PlayStation 3 controller, however, is the shape of the triggers - the buttons themself are fine, but they need to be shaped in a way that you're not trying so hard to grip on to them! They would be perfect if they just changed their shape, love the pressure sensitive triggers (and buttons) on the PS3 controllers.]]>Oct 5th 2009 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/
The D-Pad on the 360 is a floaty, mushy, inaccurate piece of shit, where your inputs are treated only as suggestions. It feels like the whole thing is floating on a needle in the center, so when I push up, it always falls up and left or up and right.

If the D-Pad were more precise, I would vote the 360's controller as best controller ever made.]]>Oct 5th 2009 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/and this button position makes it easier for him..]]>Oct 5th 2009 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Middle finger on the trigger, index on the stick, and the thumb for the buttons. ]]>Oct 5th 2009 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 6th 2009 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/]]>Oct 5th 2009 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/Oct 5th 2009 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/my comment wasn't bashing the design. more of a different strokes for different folks ]]>Oct 5th 2009 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/acidmods-moves-a-few-buttons-and-a-joystick-on-xbox-360-controll/

As for forgetting to mention the details... Well, that's just Engadget's way of doing things. They tend to forget important details, seemingly in a bid to get more comments in the thread. Standard ad-supported blog behavior.
