Introduction
Listen up here. I know most people will not attempt this mod due to its extreme difficulty but this is what I do so be amazed
A customer wanted to swap B with Left Trigger. Over 10 people on the scene said it could not be done. Here I am to show you that this is not only the second time I'm doing it for him but this is proof for those people who say it cant be done....ITS DONE.
Required Supplies
- Soldering iron
- Solder
- some thin wire
The Mod
Step 1 : Preparing the traces
First off open your controller and locate the A,B,Y,X button pads. Scrape the stuff that covers the traces and the pad with a razor blade arc'ed on its side. BE CAREFUL you can easily cut the trace. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/xboxexpert/xbox360tutorials/DSC01795Large.jpg
Step 2 : removing the trigger of choice
Next you need to remove the Left or Right Shooting Trigger's depending on what you want to have access to LB or RB. In this tutorial we are doing LT. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/xboxexpert/xbox360tutorials/DSC01796Large.jpg
Step 3 : Removing the actual trigger button
Then we need to remove the LT button its self. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/xboxexpert/xbox360tutorials/DSC01797Large.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/xboxexpert/xbox360tutorials/DSC01798Large.jpg
Step 4 : Preparing the trigger button
See those two leg's....BREAK THEM OFF CAREFULLY and re-solder the button in place. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/xboxexpert/xbox360tutorials/DSC01799Large.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/xboxexpert/xbox360tutorials/DSC01800Large.jpg
Step 5 : Wire it up
Run two wires from these points. Thread them though the hole so they come out the front side of the controller board and resolder you trigger. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/xboxexpert/xbox360tutorials/DSC01801Large.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/xboxexpert/xbox360tutorials/DSC01802Large.jpg
Run two more wires from the top leg's of the button. The button is going to feel loose but it will not come off the post trust me. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/xboxexpert/xbox360tutorials/DSC01803Large.jpg
Now heres the HARD part. You need to solder the two wires off the top post of the button to the small pad that used to be connected to the trace of B. Then you need to solder the backside two wires to the actual traces of B. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/xboxexpert/xbox360tutorials/DSC01806Large.jpg
Step 6 : Finishing up
Completed it should look exactly like this! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/xboxexpert/xbox360tutorials/DSC017995Large.jpg
