What LEDs to use?
« on: December 10, 2009, 01:59:07 PM »
I'm going to put LEDs in my a, b, x, and y buttons (yes, I know it's unoriginal) and I haven't had much success with this before. I tried drilling out the buttons and putting in 3mm white LEDs, but this felt weird and didn't look to great. I also tried putting in surface-mount LEDs but they were too weak and the wires became disconnected a lot. So I'm asking if you guys have done it before, and what LED have worked the best for you?
Links would also be very helpful :)

Well I'll tell you guys what. Since he sent ME the shell, it is a most beautifull pintjob. And by looking at it up close and personal, you can tell it is hand painted. I saw an odst controller t gamestop, and milko's looked much better, why, because it was hand done. There is a certain level of care and appreciation put into something like this. I most certainly appreciate it, and I am exstatic to have receieved this shell from him. I love it, and I use it n a daily basis.
When I have the time and resources to do some mods, I will, and I promise to post pics and vids. But for now, I am broke, an short on time. rest assured I will eventually mod this controller out.
