i dont see why you couldnt do that with a 360 controller but i dont know how bright it would shine through. It would look nice, have it on both sticks and the d pad. just might try this to do it 2morrow.

you might have to shave a little so the lite shines through a bit more.

but ya if you do def. post pictures ^_^


edit*
Double Post on my part but in that link that i put up in the tutorial he doesn't use a resistor.
Do i need to use one in the 360 controller or do i not?

Looks good on the nunchuck, but I doubt it would work on the xbox controller, it's a bit too opaque. That is of course IMHO, I would love to be proved wrong.
