    Just to save me the bother of actually reading the article, does the vibration function of these controllers work on the PC?
    I've got an Xbox controller here just begging to be modded, but I've already got a PS2 pad hooked up to my PC... will it cut the mustard tbh?

    Howhard is it to do this with a ps2 gamepad?
    Does the gamepad (ps2 and xbox) work with most games, like need for speed underground2, tony hawks etc?

    I hate to be practical, it's really not my style but... ClickMe !

    And anyone with any cop on wouldn't push the iron through plastic like this guy does, use a drill for gods sake you'll ruin your soldering iron.

    Dunno, I'm using a converter.
    The xbox controller looks like a doddle to convert since it's nothing more than a regular usb connection wired to a different plug.

    Not to worry, my soldering iron has years of crap melted and burned onto it already :)
