I have submitted this to engadget and hackaday. :)

I'd appreciate if someone could use photoshop and brighten these pictures slightly. So the Dpad is easier to see.

Usual stupid comments from other sites, this time:

...trying to get collaboration that the item is a "fake". Idiots, have they no respect?

Some of them understand. I have sent in a comment, about what I did to the internals.

Also, not everyone can love everything. And I know that. I dont mind bad comments. A good creator can handle them. Theyre not really even harsh, they are more of "confused" about what I did.

Just another reminder to never underestimate the stupidity of the average idiot.

It doesnt really bother me. Welcome to the internet.

My bondo mess ups, remind me of raisins on the controller. Mmm

EDIT: HOLY GUYS. In 7 hours I have gotten around 15,000 VIEWS.

2000 for Benheck.
9,000 for Kotaku
Estimated: 2000 (most likely more) for Hackaday
Estimated 2000 (Most likely more) for Playstation.com

Holy Crap!

I feel like....FAMOUS. xD

not bad looks really nice. how hard was it to do?

"If you look at the colored photo it's not fake. why it was shown here in black and white I don't know, looking at it in black and white i was sure his mod was fake once I saw the colored version, you could see it was legit." I put this on kotaku as that's how it looked to me.

Kotaku should be removed from the internet. The average intelligence level there is humanly low, and i'm not just taking about the people who comment.

You echo my thoughts on these, and other similar sites. My buzz is getting lots of hits and awareness too, so taking the comments on such sites with a large pinch of salt is a necessary evil for publicity!! :D

well, all I can say is good for you.

What are the analog sticks, L1/L2, and R1/R2 buttons from?

Awesome mod dude. I think you need to make a video of this thing in action! Maybe that would shut up the Kotaku idiots

The L and R buttons are just the buttons that came with the controller but the analog sticks were custom fabricated.
