A nifty controller mod: a wired 360 controller into a DualShock 3 shell

Over on the Ben Heck modding forums, there’s a new, functional mod that reminds us of Ben Hecks PS360 controller. A poster by the name of RDC has taken the innards of an Xbox 360 controller and placed it within the shell of a DualShock 3 controller.

Over on the Ben Heck modding forums, there’s a new mod that looks quite good, and looks to be functional as well. A poster by the name of RDC has taken the innards of an Xbox 360 controller and placed it within the shell of a DualShock 3 controller.

Here’s the text from RDC’s forum post:

This mod is done with the PS3 board (original version) stripped of almost all of it’s parts and the controllers daughter board kept intact (mostly) and the CL board cut to about the size of the battery in a PS3 controller.

Rumble is in there and the mini USB connector/cable becomes the controller cable. The only thing I left out was the headset connector, which I’ll probably add on the next one I make up. Also the L2/R2 isn’t analog for the Triggers. That’s because of the way the Sony daughter board is and something I also hope to get resolved with future versions.

This reminds us, quite fondly we might add, of the PS3 controller placed into an Xbox 360 shell. Feel free to check out the forum post linked below for additional information and discussion on what RDC did.
