For those tackling multiple installs, may want to take advantage of this.
Thank you so much, ChaotikMonk! Your explanation was exactly what I was looking for. Really appreciate it. Will try this over the next couple days and report my success (hopefully). 
It stopped me from getting the deal after my 8th order. Not sure if thats on BB end or if maybe my credit card thinks these are fraudulent orders.
Update: Pretty sure its on BB end. They canceled the last two orders. I wonder how many controllers and gift cards Iāll actually be getting.
Because if you your using it in a dual mod it will turn on the xbox one when you use it on 360
As I have very little soldering experience. And no stick molding at all. I would gladly pay someone to duel mod my 360 TEā¦ Iāll provide pad and stick. I live in tenneessee
And I might be in Tennessee in January for KIT
I will be there. Will it be possible to mod my stick there? I have an Eight Arc Fusion.
If I attend, yes. Iām still trying to figure out my rooming arrangements.
Just bought 10 controllers (5 deals). The deal says āper browser sessionā so you may have to close and reopen for it to work. I used private mode in firefox.
Thatās what I ended up doing. Private mode in firefox and just reopening new windows. On my 9th order they prevented me from getting the gift card. Then later on the 7th and 8th order got canceled by BB. I just got back home from picking up my other 6 orders though it took longer than expected to get them all since I had to sign for each paired order.
Ended up doing 3 passes, going to pock them up soon here.
Wonder if the extra $15 will stack, have to ask about that
Ugh I thought I had the wireless disabled but It turns out I dont. Has anyone else done this? I removed the antenna and I cut a massive chunk out of the trace and it still works.
Can you use any button to select console on an imp? Could I use start instead of home?
Thatās quite odd, seems like my recommendation of cutting the trace did a trick for a few modders here. The 100% for sure way to disable the wireless is to completely remove the floating wireless PCB which is held on by all the edge solder points. The only issue is that removing this board might cause the MCU to stop functioning so remove it at your own risk.
I still have the bottom board from the other pad which I killed by not securing the PnC battery properly. The top board is where all the power regulation ICās are so the bottom board still might be good. When I get time Iāll see if the bottom board still works and if so Iāll remove the wireless PCB and see if it still works.
When testing did you by chance have the infrared aimed at your kinect? also you may have been pretty close to the console. it doesnāt really disable but rather shorten the usable distance since youāre basically cutting the antenna very short.
Ye I turned off Kinect and tested at the other side of the room. Holding down home still turns on the Xbox. Although when the xbox loads up the stick doesnt work.
Something tells me we are still far off from having a tournament legal hack.
Wireless controllers are banned at most tournaments, and last I check mods to the PS3 Dual Shock 3 to kill the pads wireless was not accepted for Evo.
What we really need is a 3rd party wired controller that is reasonable to hack. The Xbone pad hack we have now works fine for home use, but what there to prevent an accidental guide button press that results in a match being interfered with. Sure we can drop the battery pack and remove the antenna but that only going to take us only so far. So far the only Tournament legal (under the current rules) PCB is the one out of the TE2. This is assuming the Xbone is even viable for tournament use.
That is an interesting point. Will these be tourney legal? I donāt think so from the current rules that are out. However it seems like a lot of people are paying to get their sticks modded and will most likely use them in the first KI tourneys. I guess we shall see if there is any type of uproar during the first tourneys about random pause shenanigans.
Instead of just cutting the trace I guess someone is going to have to experiment with removing the entire antenna or whatnot.
I guess it wouldnāt be a bad idea to install a switch to disable home button or maybe take advantage of the switches on some of the turbo panels.
That still wonāt make it legal though. Just imagine the shenanigans that these can cause during tournaments.
Salty losers can do all kinds of stupid shit.
