the only hard part is he soldering, which really isnt that hard at all. I wonder if anyone has put up a howto for solder points for the ps3 controllers yet.
don't give him n0ber advice, by the time you get Solder wires, the controllers figured out, + 2 hours of work. or even more if u build a box "unless u use cardboard box"
it's not worth it, just buy the HRAP
uh, its cheaper actually, you can choose your own stick, switches, and buttons such as the fine ones from cherry, and it will feel like a real arcade stick. MDF is quite cheap and feels a lot better then plastic, especially if youre a button masher like me lol. sure it takes time but in the end you end up with something youve made yourself and odds are youll save yourself 50-100 dollars as well.
WTF
10 Sanwa Buttons = $30 + Shipping
1 Sanwa AC Stick = $18 + Shipping
Generic Controller = $10 @ Ebgames
Soldering Iron + Solder (most people don't have, not worth getting if ur just making a stick)
Put that together alone u have 58 bux of an uncomplete stick. Now you put in work cutting wood, applying paint' wood finish Nails glue,
HRAP 3 for PS3 is 99bux 99 - 58 = $41
$41 does not justify the amount of work that is need in design, assembly, + tools
And in the end , what,, ur still just trying to pull off a combo.
HRAP 3 ,, No work, u buy it, flawless ,, If you op for sanwa buttons,, u just unscrew the back, the buttons are attached via quick disconnects, so you just pop old ones out and put new ones in.
