(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); [Luis] is very particular about his gaming controllers. He wanted to mod a Six Axis controller to fit into a Nerf gun body but there wasn’t really enough room for all of the components. After shopping around for a while he discovered a wired gun controller made by Namco which was developed for use with the game Time Crisis. He picked one up and went to work replacing the guts with a set pulled from a wireless controller.

The majority of the work on a mod like this one comes in extending the reach of each component. After cracking open the gun controller’s case, [Luis] begins preparing and soldering all twenty contact on the Six Axis controller PCB, then completing the connections necessary for each relocated component. This does make us wonder if there won’t be some element of noise introduced to the signals coming from the analog sticks? He mentions that one of them is ‘glitchy’ but that could be because he started with a used controller from eBay.

We took a couple of good tips out of this. Since the plastic housing is designed to hold each of the original PCBs securely, [Luis] reused them as a mounting surface for the replacement components. A little creative use of protoboard and some time in the paint shop and you’re done. Check out a video of the entire process, which also shares the finished results, after the break.

gtfo. If you don't like the idea of being creative and being knowledgeable about electronics, then you don't deserve to be here. He made this himself, except for the original Sixaxis and the Time Crisis gun. Please, continue living your life as a by-the-book rules guy and get off this site; we don't want people like you here to criticize on creative ideas. And as a matter of fact, he is playing the game right, with his own creation.

Back to the topic; That's a really cool idea. Someone should make a SNES Super Scope into a PS3 Sixaxis gun controller. Those were big and beastly, even to this day. I remember having one, and to see a Sixaxis in that would MAKE me find the guy's house and kiss the ground he walked on, then I'd buy it from him. Claps

That's absurd. Obviously Treyarch will ban him for his uber controller modding skills.
