Gamer-mod scientist Ben Hack is at it again, this time with a mod that slightly pains us. You might remember his mod in which he connected a PS2 controller into a PSP. In this venture, he strays slightly from the Sony gaming realm and takes the innards of a PS3 Sixaxis controller, and transplants it into the casing of a Xbox wireless controller.

It feels very odd seeing the Playstation controls and logo on a Xbox console controller. It actually pains our hearts in a way. But, if you are one of those people that prefers the feel of the Xbox winged controller, than playing your old Playstation could be made more comfortable for you. — Andrew Dobrow

This mod, combining the PS2 controller with a PSP, is one that is sure to light a fire under the asses of Sony gaming fans. The mod took about two months to complete, in which time the modder “wanted to throw it out my window and watch it sail 15 floors down”. Though thanks to the help of his Research and Development crew, the mod was finally finished, and looks like it was worth every second.

To achieve this combination he had to tap all of the control lines on the PSP, and attached what seems to be mini-usb connectors, making it resemble a prop from the Matrix movies. The final product is a very well done project to give a PSP an external controller. What is the benefit of having an external controller? Well other then looking pretty cool, it’s bound to be better for navigation on the go. Check it out at acidmods from concept to finished product. — Andrew Dobrow
