Modded 360 Controller

Gah ruined, sticks were in the perfect place! Dreamcast beater imo.

Has anyone modded a DS3 to go inside a 360 pad? Would consider a PS3 next year if they have. Can't get on with them, analogue sticks are too light, awful and in the wrong place. Those trigger addons have helped slightly.

I've seen a Six-Axis (I'm sure it was, could have been a DS tho) inside a 360 pad ;) not got a link tho, sure Google will help :p
 
i always though the Gamecube pad was the best id ever used but recently i had a pop at my gamecube and realised that the xbox 360 one is the most comortable pad.

Seriously people, go and hold a 360 pad and look where your pinkies end up. Those buttons look weirdly out of place by themselves, but they're actually right where your fingers will end up.

Yep, they are.
I agree with your previous post, I've always thought extra buttons could have been added around the back, but this one is just pure ugleh!
 
I think the thumbsticks are fine where they are, however moving the buttons is an interesting idea. It would take a while to get used to but I think it would be better in the long term. Would be great watching someone who hadn't used it before pick it up and look utterly confused though :D

The problem is you have to be very delicate with the pad as you only have your pinkies for stability as gripping with the other fingers will result in button presses.
 
It's a stupid mod because with the buttons placed like that you would be accidentally pressing the buttons due to the fact they are placed exactly where you grip the pad.
 
Even if the buttons are where your fingers fall, you wouldn't have the force or accuracy to hit them as well as you can when they are on the front, as your fingers are wrapped around the controller's 'arms'. Front is best.
 
Reminds me of my xbox 1 fps master controller:

The mod maybe suited to the modders hands but thats about it. MS got the layout pinpoint perfect for almost every gamer, so he's wasted his time imo.

I have just tried it myself. I notice when pressing the fake B and A buttons I seem to be gripping the controller harder. This is not comfortable for me and puts more strain on my hands.
 
Glad the sticks are level.. and now placed in a good position especially for FPS's.. although i would agree and just moved the buttons down to where the other stick used to be.

The way the Xbox 360 controller is at the moment is pretty much perfection in my eyes, that controller mod just seems ridiculous.

It's funny how the 360 controller is so highly regarded compared to the original Xbox controller, which was the subject of ridicule for its immense size. Quite a change.
