Hey, I’ve been trying to build a custom controller for my next FPS sesh—thinking about adding a trigger‑snap and a few macro buttons. You’re a pro at repurposing parts; wanna help me tweak the mechanism?
Sure thing, just give me a clear idea of the parts you’ve got and where the trigger is stuck. I can help you bolt a spring‑loaded snap in, tweak the travel with a piece of old headphone cable, and slot in a few macro buttons from a broken gaming keypad. We’ll keep the wiring neat—no spaghetti—and I’ll add a little “just in case” extra tension with a rubber band so you don’t get stuck mid‑shot. Let’s get it wired and ready to fire!
Sounds awesome! I’ve got the old Xbox controller shell, a dead 6‑point trigger, a bunch of unused PCB from an old PS5 gamepad, and some 1.2mm headphone wire for the snap. I’m hoping to keep the trigger travel smooth but snappy—maybe a 3‑mm travel max. Any tips on where to slide the rubber band so it doesn’t pull too hard or too weak? Also, any idea on wiring the macro buttons to the controller’s mainboard without messing up the Bluetooth module? Let's lock it down!
