Title: Luigus's FPS Themed Controller (360)
Post by: Luigus on September 09, 2012, 08:23:37 AM: This is the stock controller i'll be modding.

I'm doing this for a friend and decided to take part in the competition as well :)
So this will be a FPS themed controller, Rapidfire (topfire) and ABXY flasher as well, and some other things..

I'm in a exam at the moment so progress is slow, hope i can finish in time ...

RapidFire installed: [I wanted to use a socket, but some legs broke of, and nobody complained about the hard installation :dntknw:

Post by: Luigus on September 15, 2012, 11:48:44 AM: ok so i Got the paint job done today, and wired up the LEd flasher, havt installed the LEDs yet, waiting on some ABXY buttons and thumbs.. And BTW: the painting is not a rip off from Musttachee, I had this paint job in mind when my friend asked me to do his. I actually had to redo the face plate, as i screwed up BIG TIME. i Wanted a custom cross hair decal with ammo decals next to it... couldn't find anything good, so I'm 75% happy with the face plate.

Back painted:

Post by: Tenac on October 29, 2012, 04:20:01 PM: Your controller turned out epic, all the features it has is awesome, it looks really well done, and the vibration-activated analog sticks turned out to be really cool.

The amount of resistors you had to use makes me cringe and remind me of all the confined soldering I've had to do lol, impressive work sir.
