My Custom 360 Pad Project

Finished a little controller project I put together. This was the white controller that originally came with the very first 360 I bought 10 years ago. I have been using it as a PC gamepad for a while and it was starting to look a little rough.

 

The grip is based on a firearms customization technique that I was curious about trying, and simply involves repeatedly poking the plastic with a hot soldering iron. Its not something a controller needs but, like I said, I was curious about giving it a go and didn't feel like ruining a Glock in the process. It actually feels surprisingly good, especially after a light sanding to get rid of any harsh edges.

 

A little bit of paint and some new black thumbsticks later and voila! Had originally planned something akin to this, and still might do but for now this will work.

If you've customized your own gamepad I'd love to see it!

Haha yeah its definitely something that requires a little practice. I had an ancient soldering iron that would get so hot you couldn't hold the plastic handle after a while as well, which certainly didn't help.
