Wows, looks sick as

. Liking the the digital camo pattern, and the overall look.

One thing I would have done different is painted the analog sticks, pad, etc etc, a more contrasty colour than grey. A nice solid black would have been better IMHO.

But very good job.

yea, I was thinking about that, but I wasn't too sure how the paint would work on the rubber of the analogs, then I just decided the rest of the pad is grey so it shouldn't matter that much.

Yea nice job ghost. The paint the rubber kinda worked for me on the skull one i did but its pealing just from the top and thats about it. But its holding together.

yea, well I kinda wan't the paint job to stand the test of time, I will have a look around though there must be some suitable paint for this type of work.

Also I will be posting the final presentation vid within the next 2 days, so watch this space.

Nice ghost seems to be very functional now. Also love the song breaking benjamin is great.

thanks,
and yea its really fully functionable. Now that I play with it I don't know how I ever played with a normal controller. The design of all controllers is flawed, the fact that you only use trigger fingers and thumbs. Relocating the ABXY allows some of the spare fingers at the back to be used and means you never need to remove your right thumb from analog (unless toggling on rapid fire). This gives you the edge over other players allowing you to look around/knife whilst reloading/jumping/crouching/swapping weapons.

Ultimately the dpad should be relocated, but since its not used as often its not vital. The advantages are really noticeable in halo, ghandi hopping becomes so much easier, plus melee can be done whilst turning around. Plus one of my objectives was to make sure the rumbles stayed in, and I am proud to state that both rumbles are still in, so this controller still allows for the normal gaming experience but gives you a slight edge over other players in multiplayer.

Anyway onto the final pics, Here is the finished controller Project Tear Away.

I'm carefully watching my photo bucket bandwidth, I hope it does not run out before voting.

Thanks for following my project

Lookin' sweet.

cheers, I think that'll be my final update. Also I didn't move the analogs due to my left thumb hating ps3 controllers, it only likes the high analogs which is stange since I am ambidextrous.

in order to make paint stick to a rubber or vinyl surface you'd need to go over it with scotchbrite- basically that stuff that's just like the back of a kitchen sponge but scratchier. had to paint a miata/mx5 bumper one time (they're rubber) the only way to get paint to stay on them over time is to scratch them enough to create the right kind of grooves.
i agree with not painting them because by nature, rubber is well- rubbery. and while pretty, dry paint is certainly not rubbery. aka cracking/flaking if the surface underneath is allowed to shift or move underneath the paint... (like rubber does if you press on it)

kudos, that is a sick controller.

thanks dude, yea I think I wil stay away from painting analogs. I mean it might last great for a week or so, but I like my controllers to last ages.
