Mod: Buttons and analog sticks just don't get along

by Richard Mitchell { Oct 5th 2009 at 3:45PM }

We've seen plenty of interesting Xbox 360 controller mods. From one-handed controls to controls with swapped parts to other one-handed controls, the 360 mod scene is pretty lively. This one is definitely different from the usual mods we see though, with the right stick and face buttons switching places and being pushed to the edges of the control. Built by Acidmods, the controller was designed for a disabled player so that he could hold the control more comfortably. The quality of the build is pretty impressive, with nary a scratch, cut or patch to be seen. And, of course, the best part is that it actually works.

See it in action after the break.

Crazy but cool. Wonder what the disability is where that layout would make it easier to play.

Sure this looks good, but its possibly the worst mod ever. I like to actually hold my controller, and my palm rests on that part of it.

I could understand if you didnt like moving your thumb to get to the other joystick, but seeing him almost let go of the controller to press the A button is painful to say the least

Did u even read the article or just look at the pictures? They said it was for a disabled person. It's not a question of comfort for someone like you.. Although it seems you may be mentally disabled. I'm sure there will be a mod to suit your disabilities soon enough.
