Well he really didn't have a choice of where to put it. Anywhere else and it would look downright ugly. Where he put it is a pretty discreet spot, that's not the first spot you look at when you see the controller. It doesn't stick out a whole lot.

Yes it does, and we are saying that he could have ordered a 7mm tact switch instead of using a button the size of the controller(exaggerated)

i have to agree here...
those buttons ruined a dam fine controller.
shame really....

also

that wiring blows my mind. Dope .

that wiring is rather messy... (in my view..)
you should try using a single core 30awg wire it's much easier to solder and its smaller so will fit in the controller better.....

That's an "old" PS3 Sixaxis controller. The newer ones are Sixaxis Dualshock 3, which are the ones with the rumble motors.

Slightly easier to disassemble, mind you.

I see,

and people stop shouting him down, this mod looks great, no one is a perfect modder. Anymore negitive posts will be deleted.

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #96 on:** November 12, 2009, 08:15:50 PM »

Yea seriously i mean he used what he can only get, not everyone has money to pay for the stuff they ned. I do the same thing i work with what i have.

blackburn · « **Reply #97 on:** November 13, 2009, 11:20:12 AM »

no, this is a dualshock controller that he desodered the rumble on. He states that in his first couple posts

treemty · « **Reply #98 on:** November 13, 2009, 12:42:28 PM »

yeah you can still see where it was unsoldered

Kitsune · « **Reply #99 on:** November 13, 2009, 12:58:48 PM »

My bad in that case.

the huge switch was a bad idea

also whats this?

shoulda use 30 awg also

Thats the place where the screw hole used to be, had to take it out to make room for the triangles green LED and its wires. Ya wish I knew that clearance issue before I painted. And ya the push button is ugly but I've since removed it. It is a dualshock3, took the rumble out cause there no room for it with the side LEDs everywhere in the handles. And personal preference I always take rumble out of DS3s, I played about a year with my original SIXAXIS controller and got used to not having my hands shake, plus the weight of the controller is stupid with the rumble out. If you took the rumbles out, you instantly take more than half the weight out, pretty much a feather now.

A few of the wires are 30AWG, but I ran out, all the handle wires are 30AWG, but the rest is 26AWG I believe

iight so here is the vid of the chip install

Controller mod-off Part 7

will have a final vid up sat or sun...

Nicely done alman it looks sick man the fading is sweet.

treemty · « **Reply #103 on:** November 13, 2009, 09:43:25 PM »

Hey alman, is it possible for you to cut down on the profanity, as well as remarks such as"stupid americans". This can be taken offensively.
Thank you

Looks really good mate, love the ps button, and I wanna try and use a pulse chip in my next project (dolphin) when I decide how to use it o

i want that controller. Seriously it is by far the sexiest controller i have ever seen

subversed · « **Reply #110 on:** November 18, 2009, 08:09:40 PM »

alman: it looks like you might have just enough clearance between the analog stick for two slide switches, or a mini-rocker switch. plus, since it's nudged between the two stick mounts you'd never feel them. and if i remember correctly, the lower side of the controller is larger faced and sloped away from the line of sight. looking down at it, you'd barely see the little nubs of plastic that would be seen.

Hey alman,
I got a question about the LEDs you installed. So far I modified couple controllers without problems but now on a new project I tried installing purple LEDs and they require 3.3V. All the power spots I found so far have only 3V and that just doesn't make it glow strong enough. Do you know where should I tap in with the LEDs?
I noticed you used resistors here and there. Was it to lower the 3V for the LEDs you used? ... I do recall that you mentioned on one of the vids that you had to find where to install even stronger then this LEDs.

I have purple LEDs (3.3V, 30mA, 80mW, 300mcd)... maybe the 30mA is causing the issue since most users used 20mA?

Did a lot of research but cant find a solution.
Ill post pics of my MODs after I finish them all.

I used resistors to power my RGB and UV LEDs, lowered my voltage to 3.6 volts. Its the power straight from the battery, I can't remember exactly the voltage but I think it was 5volt. I'm unsure...
