DIY guide: Making a PS360 controller

Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360 Tags: Ben Heckendorn, playstation 3 updates, SIXAXIS

Teach a man to fish, and he eats for life. Due to the immense popularity that Ben Heckendorn's been reaping for his recently completed PS360 controller mod, our fave mod god has decided to release a Do-It-Yourself guide for the general public's perusal.

Now, before the readership heads off to the actual guide, here's a rough on the materials and tools you will need for the attempt:

PS3 SIXAXIS controller
Xbox 360 (wireless) controller
Perfboard with pre-drilled copper plated holes
Thin wires
x(4) T-1 sized LEDs
x(2) 4.7k ohm resistors and (1) 10k ohm resistor
Superglue (liquid type)
x(11) 6mm tact switches
x(2) 4.5mm tact switches
x(4) size 3 screws, 1/2-inch long
Dremel tool with cutoff wheel
Soldering iron and desoldering iron
X-Acto knife
Hot Glue Gun
Thin tipped magic markers
Regular small Phillips screwdriver
Small Torx screwdriver

Needless to say, this mod attempt will require plenty of spare time, soldering skills, and sweat. The first few sections will deal with destroying disassembling the 360 and SIXAXIS controllers, followed by instructions on how to transplant the SIXAXIS analog controls to the 360. The full details for this attempt are available at the read link, although we warn readers to once again be careful, if they ever do decide to try this mod out. Godspeed, and make sure to wait up - Ben Heck's making plans to release part 3 of his 360 laptop guide soon after!

coming from a diehard playstation fan, with a ps3, i have felt the 360 controller which my friend who lives below me owns. needless to say, the 360 controller is MUCH more comfortable. obviously playing ps3 for only an hour wouldnt make much of a difference, but for multiple hours i would want a 360 controller. it fits the palm of your hand a lot better.

i grew up on the NES/famicom controller.

perfected my playing styles (yes even 1 hand street fighter) on SNES/Super Famicom.

switched between ps1 pad and ascii fighting stick depending on which character i am using on tekken.

felt every rumble with all my classic shooters on my ps1 model 7000's dual shock 1.

controlled snake through hours of tip toes, crawls etc on the pressure sensitive directional/action buttons on PS2's dual shock two.

even though i never use sixaxis tilt function on motorstorm, i happily completed the demo on rub-i-dub with greats scores.

i even use all controllers mentioned including my sixaxis on PC! i have bought/made every adaptors for all of em. and my PSP acts as a wireless joypad /mouse for my PC too.
