A Pair of Xbox 360 Joysticks, Literally.
February 23rd, 2011
Joystick maker Morris Umali recently set out to make some Xbox 360 arcade controllers, and what he ended up with was a pair of Xbox 360 arcade controllers…
Morris actually turned one of his dead 360s into an Xbox 360 controller, but decided to defile the memory of the other one by turning it into a PS3/PS2/PC controller instead. Hah!
Each one has true arcade-quality Sanwa joystick, and Seimitsu buttons. Morris has documented the entire build process in gory detail over on the Atomic Forums if you want to try and do the same for yourself.
I guess when you’ve got a couple of red-ringed Xbox 360s lying around, this is a pretty good use of the old carcasses.

It’s a retry.
Why make a PS controller on a xbox?
And the buttons is misaligned.
I needed a stick for my PS3, and I managed to get a second dead Xbox 360.
The buttons are aligned that way because it’s more comfortable for my fingers. As outlined in this article

The standard American layout has the buttons aligned straight, while the Japanese layout has them curved as I have done so.
I was thinking about the angle of the buttons. Not the layout, which I think is fine.
