Thanks bud.
I’ve also tried the ChillStream some wacky logitech controller with a fan in it that blows on your hands. I don’t remember the issue, I will have to find it and look again. I think it was no common ground either. Might have to revisit it.
Hey Ed, Have you play tested the xbox 360 stick of yours on a mac?
I’d love to know how well it works if so.
Thanks
Ant,
I don’t have access to a mac so I can’t say for sure. If there are drivers for Wired Xbox controllers for a mac, then it should work with those same drivers.
Hey Ed,
I’m looking for some good vinyl for a stick project I’ve been working on. I’ve bought some off EBay but needless to say it wasn’t very good. Where do you get yours from? I don’t need much, maybe I can buy some from you? :karate:
The stuff I get is from a place called MetroDecals. They are on ebay as well, I wonder if it’s the same company. I haven’t had a problem with their stuff.

It works great applied directly to MDF. You just really need to make sure it’s dust free.
Also, I don’t use it on the tops of the boxes where the controls are. The stuff looks great, but can get dinged up pretty easily, which is why I only use on the box itself. I don’t think it would last very well on the top where it gets a lot of use
Thanks for the link. Yeah I’m only using it for the box sides. It’s a MAS mini though meaning all the sides are already put together, I think thats maybe why I had so much trouble getting it on nicely. I don’t want to go through the trouble and taking the box apart. I’ll buy some and try it out.
Ed_Farias, so any updates on that box of mines in the works? :bgrin:
Sorry Goldn,
I have had no chance to test out any lexan cutting. To be honest, I probably won’t for a long while.
ok, how about that box without the lexan then?
3 questions Ed:
How soon are DC sticks coming?
Will the Hori FS3 pcb work on your PS3 sticks?
Wiill wireless headsets works with the sticks?
TY in advance.
Edit: I also tried a wire-less bluetooth headset for the 360, and it doesnt work with my stick. Do you know why? And which head set exactly works with it? (pic?) 
Tim.
Any cell phone headset will work. Or the original Xbox headset.
As long as it has a 2.5mm jack.
TO answer your other questions.
Any news on a X360/PS3 stick?
Nope, still huntind down a good ps3 stick. Though I’m not sure a ps3/360 combo will come easy, it all depends on the ps3 pad I find that works.
I currently have about 30 sticks to do, so the ps3 stick is on hold for a little while.
Dang, I just noticed this. I put a diagram for one of these pads on my website yesterday. I saw this, tried it out, and sure enough the left direction went dead in 3 seconds each time. So I took it off my site. Sheesh, Mad Catz should have done a recall or some advisement on this (I dunno if they did or not); they should have caught this when making the product to begin with too. I hope you didn’t buy a bunch of these Ed.
Any chance of getting one made before Evo? If not, I’ll just have to use a PS3 pad this year…
Luckily I only bought 4 of them. I can always sell them on ebay if I need to get rid of them. It is pretty lame though. I wonder if Toodles has any idea of a possible fix.
When is evo?
August 8 - 10
thats what it says on the site.
I don’t know if you can see it or not cause you have premium, but look at the top of the site.
Also, the Hori pad has been hacked before and is guaranteed to work, and is shown in the Custom Stick Gallery.
OK, at Playasia they list the Hori pad as PS3, Japan.
Are we sure it works with the US playstation 3? I can’t think of any reason it wouldn’t, but thought I would check.
I don’t believe that Playstation accessories have ever been region locked. I know that a lot of users imported Dual Shock 3 controllers from PlayAsia before they were available here.
The only controller that I know of that was region locked was the Sega brand lightgun for the Dreamcast. Even then, the controller itself wasn’t region locked, the US version of House of the Dead 2 simply locked it out. If you imported the Japanese version of the game, you could use the Japanese lightgun.
