| 803409 | 2009-08-22 07:56:00 | Wanting to do mod it so I can use a controller on my PC without damaging the controller. Anyone got a spare one lying around they don't want? |

The Xbox cable looks like this: Controller)--------<>---+ + is where it goes into the Xbox <> is the kind of stress-break part (Dunno its official name). Snip in between those two, and use one of the guides on xbox-scene.com. I have little soldering experience, but I managed to make a USB Adapter for the Xbox (To plug in thumbdrives) and a USB Adapter for the controller so it'll plug in to the PC. All I needed was a regular USB Extension lead and about 20 minutes! :) |

Chill: If you have a spare controller, would you consider selling one? And yes, I've looked at TM, I've got a few items watchlisted. Just looking for cheaper alternatives. |

| 803412 | 2009-08-22 22:01:00 | You may as well get one of those Xbox USB windows controller adapters. And plug it in. Costs about $29-30 | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
