AcidMods' Xbox 360 controller mod: let's simplify

Posted Nov 7, 2008 at 7:30AM by QJ Staff Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: Acidmods, joysticks, Peter Moore

In the words of Peter Moore, the Xbox 360 controller is pretty "damn complicated." So let's simplify. Straight from AcidMods, this new Xbox 360 controller mod makes life a lot easier.

AcidMods left the two joysticks on top, but realigned them to be beside each other, just at thumbs reach, a la PlayStation 3 controller. They consolidated the D-pad and the face buttons on the back, similar to what HG Controllers did on their own Halo 3 controller mod. Here's a vid of AcidMod's baby in action:

A tutorial is available after the source link if you want to give your own controller a face lift.

Thanks to Mark for the tip on this awesome mod!

� WTF?

How is it complicated? Apart from the thumbsticks, it's an identical layout to the Dual Shock.
