I’m trying hard not to focus on how much this sucks, but this is the second stick I’ve ruined by putting it into an overpowered USB socket in my computer. (Just found out it was the USB port). I had just recieved my SE stick in the mail, modded the parts, and played it for less than 10 minutes. Then I plugged it into that one faulty USB port and I saw this part light up and burst through the front cover:
Where do I buy a replacement part for that (in red box)?
Holy crap man, that sucks… i know how you feel though, my modded SE also crapped out on me not too long after I modded it…im not sure anyone sells that specific mad catz part but with a little modding knowledge i bet you could put a different similar pat in there. Check out stores that sell spare stick parts?
Throw a Cthulhu (scroll down) in there for $30. Or if you want to splurge, spend $35 and get the MC version and have support for a lot of other systems.
that’s cool. So if I get the cthulhu, what tools will I need (a soldering iron?), and if I get the MC version (what’s a MC) does that mean it will work on xbox as well?
You don’t need to solder with screw terminals. Just cut the existing wiring harnesses to expose the wires, wire it into Cthulhu, screw in wires, then you can get a USB A/B cable and plug it in. MC works for Xbox, but not xbox 360. 360 has evil security chip that Toodles has yet to bypass. Read this guide
Oh, nevermind. Most people buy 360 sticks. My bad. No, it’s not hard. All screw in. And just screwing wire A into point B. A bit more complicated if you wanted multi console.

Yes, buy THAT. They are only made preassembled. No need to worry about soldering IC sockets. Those blue things, screw wire into them.
Just screw a wire from a Ground to the home screw terminal on the Cthulhu, and start+select are automatically Home. This is important. If you don’t, it assumes you have a home button.
And soldering IC sockets is not that bad, though I despise them and usually rip them off and solder the IC to the board directly.
If you cool with a 1.21 gigawatt soldering iron, you could do in like a minute. But that’d prolly fry your IC if you soldered direct. (Don’t expect to understand this, it’s more for jdm, heh)
