Hello everyone

I have an idea for a PS3 controller mod that I have never seen done before, its really stupid actually but it will be fun to do.
BUT..... I need help finding some things to actually do this mod, I need parts, real parts not ripoffs, and they need to be cheap.
I will not release any info about the mod as I want to be the first to do it. So if any one can PM me with the information I need I would be very thankful.

PS. Whom ever replies with the most reliable info will be the first to find out what the mod is

PSS. Please NO TRADES or BIDDING SITES, thanks.

Ok will see what happens...lol

gunner7553 · « **Reply #4 on:** August 09, 2011, 01:44:13 PM »

Hahah yeah sorry I don't want to say what parts exactly it might give away the mod. I just need the parts that would make up a PS3 controller, like replacement parts.

I have a complete PS3 controller that just needs the spring and little bar thing to hold in the L2 button. Other than that its fully functional.

why not buy the whole controller plus parts for like $30

gunner7553 · « **Reply #7 on:** August 09, 2011, 02:57:12 PM »

Well I need a lot of each part, I wish I could say what I'm doing, actually I could even use parts from the PSP 2000. When you all see this mod you see why its stupid but cool.

I don't want to spend that much as I already have a controller that I'm going to use for the mod, really I need to buy a lot of the parts individually or a lot of one part for cheap. (I just got a new job and don't have a lot to spend)

snowcolt17 · « **Reply #9 on:** August 09, 2011, 03:04:26 PM »

I found a few sites a while back but I don't know how trusted they are (I don't want to buy something and never get it)
and I need complete parts, for example , if i need a D-pad i need it to come with the backing (pad).

WOW that's a good deal, but the parts I need would be from like 6 controllers hahah hope I'm not giving to much away. Thanks for the help, I'm still looking too. I kinda want to tell some one what the mod is, but I need the parts first.

snowcolt17 · « **Reply #12 on:** August 09, 2011, 03:24:29 PM »

ahh. so like 6 controllers with dead boards, for buttons, pads, etc. cheapest you can find them would be like 5-10 each

lol... ur being way to vague for me to help you.

the best place to buy parts would be ebay. I don't know what you have against bidding sites.. but I use them all of the time.

for the amount of money you want to spend, for each thing just won't happen. your best bet is to buy a lot of broken ps3 controllers. you will get all of the parts for cheap. if you buy them individually, it will cost more.

Yeah I know that's the point, your not supposed to know what the mod is. but I did give all the info needed to know what I was asking.
I have bought a lot of things off eBay and have been ripped off and didn't know until about a week after I was supposed to get me stuff (they were high rated sellers), I did get my money back it just wasn't worth the wait.

but thanks for your time.

cheap wired controller...

Wireless...if you can wait for the free shipping its worth it...

Take a picture of your L2 and I can see what I can do for you for parts. There are 3 different triggers for PS3 controllers.

Yeah I think this mod is going to be extremely different from what your expecting. See I need 5-8 of some of the same parts for this one mod.
