DIY 360 turbo controller for free

Difficulty: Medium
Controller: Old "matrix" style
Details: This mod is to be used with older wireless controllers that you've had for a while, the newer style they have recently released has a different board in it. It gives you rapid fire on your right trigger by using a button. This rapid fire works when AA batteries are slightly drained, and when the rechargable battery is 100% charged it does not work. It also doesn't work while the controller is charging. This mod does not work Call of Duty 5, but it does work with Call of Duty 4. This will only work if you are 1st player.


I take no responsibility for you breaking your controller, hurting yourself, breaking your xbox, getting banned for mods on xbox live, or anything else.

Tools required:

• A soldering iron with solder
• A small button, or momentary switch with 2 wires attached to it, you can salvage these from really old game controllers like I did, cd rom drives, electronics, and even toys.
  
• For a wireless controller, a Torx 9 security bit screwdriver or small flathead screwdriver that fits inside of the screw. Also keep a regular Torx 9 screwdriver handy in case the post in the middle of the screw falls off. All the screws are visable except the one under the barcode under the battery, unscrewing this will void your controller for trade in at gamestop or other game stores.
  

• Optional: Hot glue, depending on the button you may or may not need any glue.
• Some small gauge wire to use to run to the button
  
• A momentary switch, I used a double switch from a really old serial connection PC controller that had two shoulder buttons on each side, and they had 3 wires, and I found the ground (by trial and error testing the controller) and soldered the other two wires together.

You can buy a button at radio shack for under 2 dollars, and if you dont have a soldering iron, solder, or wire they can probably help you with that too. Wal-mart and craft stores carry hot glue guns.

Most tutorials say how to buy a button and put it coming out of the inside, possibly removing a rumble motor, there's an easier way. Heres a picture of the back of my controller, theres two wires going into the bottom plate of it leading to two solder points on the controller board.

To make a space in the bottom part of the shell just use a dremel, or a wood file, and make a little semi circle hole in the side right where I did where the wires are coming out in the picture.

I just melted a hole there with my soldering iron, but melting plastic inside isnt a good idea, so if you do decide this is do it out a window, outside, or under an oven hood. I take no responsibility for what happens if you do melt plastic and get hurt, because saying you can melt plastic doesn't mean you should.

I then just taped them on and tested them, a few days later I discovered a glue gun sitting around and it was perfectly solid on the controller, just a dab under it and around it on 3 sides just not on the battery side because theres no space for the glue. Cover all the wires too.

The soldering is quick and easy, make sure to put solder on the end of your soldering iron and on the end of the wire before applying to the board. Don't hold the soldeirng iron on the board too long or you may burn out the LED, solder to the bottom lead of the 1st player LED not the top.

Here is a video tutorial I found on Youtube showing the operation of soldering
