How to Mod Xbox 360 Controller

How to Mod Xbox 360 Controller : The hottest thing surrounding the Xbox 360 is to mod your controller into a rapid fire. (Mod means modify aka modification for those of you who aren't down with the lingo.)

Modded controller, rapid fire controller, turbo mod; There are many names for these special controllers that basically enable you to convert a single-fire weapon in your favorite first person shooter game into an automatic weapon. There are a few different types of modded controllers so let's take a look at them first.

Trigger mods enable a rapid fire modded controller to have all the same functionality as a button mod, except there are no external buttons. These types of modded controllers can be activated in many ways. Most good modded controllers use the existing sync button on the top of the controller.


How to mod your xbox 360 controller yourself? THIS IS THE STEPS :

1. Unscrewing the controller

Before you start taking your controller apart, take a close look at the controller first and try to remember which parts go where because you will eventually have to put everything back again.

2. Preparing the Case

With the controller facing down, slowly and carefully separate the front half of the casing from the circuit board.

3. Placing The Rapid Fire Button

While other methods of modifying the controller do not involve installation of a new button, this particular guide does.

4. Soldering

Assuming that you know how to properly utilize a soldering iron, attach the red wire to the leftmost pin of a 4-pin horizontal series, while the blue wire solders to the rightmost pin of the same series.

5. Putting everything back

Carefully taking note of the wires, try to close the circuit board and the casing. This may be a little tricky because the new wires will get in the way of things.

Playstation 3 VS Xbox 360

Playstation 3 VS Xbox 360 : Deciding between the PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, and Xbox 360 can be a daunting task. While all three systems are vastly superior to the last generation of videogame consoles, they are also far more different from each other than ever before. While I like and own all three systems, I believe there are five things that make the PS3 the best next-generation videogame system to have, over the Xbox 360 or the Wii.

It has been exactly 1 year to the day since we published our PS3 vs. XBOX 360 article, written for us by a friend of mine who is a lead programmer for a game company working on all three consoles (and PC).

His conclusion was a controversial one at the time. That the XBOX 360 pretty much owned in every category; price, performance, graphics, and game selection.

However, a lot can change in a year. Both consoles saw price drops, and firmware updates have the potential to improve both gaming and non-gaming features. Developers have had time to ‘learn’ the intricacies of the PS3, and several new exclusive titles have been released for both.
One year later, I am going to don my flamesuit, and take a look at each console. Let’s see if the PS3 has made strides! It’s certainly selling better lately.
