New SNES controller mod: "AA"
Moderator:Moderators
Unimpressed with my last controller mod? Want more? Want something...Different, and...blasphemous? That's exactly what I built. This controller mod is far less simple than last, but far more sexy. And very comfortable, I must say. For large and small handed people alike. Once again "AA" is an acronym, but this time the acronym is the name. The names at the bottom of this post (No cheating!). As the original format I made goes:
Project name: SNES Command Utility (Or SNES-CU)
Other name ideas that crossed my mind before settling: None. The first name I came up with just stuck. And that was that.
Production time: Roughly 20 hours total. I haven't painted it yet. I might not and just sand it lightly to remove some case scratches.
And... Horrid, blurry, poorly lit, grainy pictures!!! (Once again, special thanks to my ACER laptop and its built-in high-definition webcam)
Front:
Rear:
Better than my last? It's case is a Logitec WingMan case. Its gut's are a combination of the two controllers. Start, Select, L and R are tact switches. Up, Down, Left, Right, and the four face buttons; A, B, X, and Y are carbon membrane contacts. The Start and Select button tops are (Get this!) the rubber pushers from insulin syringes (The part that actually pushes the fluid).
The controls are responsive and firm. Everything works as it should. All in all this is a beautiful controller and something I am very proud of.
A quick history of its name (Which you still don't know (Unless you cheated), I know. In time.) is I was thinking about it and a friend of mine suggested the latter part of the name due to the controller shell I'm using. It fit. But I wanted it to be more....dangerous, I guess. More daring. So I suggested the first part of the name to go with it. And thus the name - which everybody likes (Thus far) - was born.
The name? Anti-christ Angel. My fiancee, Fishy, is working on a logo for it. The logo will consist of a scantly dressed angel standing on an inverted cross. An inverted pentacle would have been far easier, but the invert-cross is a classic and is better fitting.
That's all I have for now. Thoughts? Kudos? Please forward all hate mail to my PM box. Thank you.

Thank you. As I said, I'm not sure I'm going to paint it. It looks nice just as it is. Only time will tell. I may. I may not.emeraldz wrote:looks like a nice piece. Can't wait to see it painted up nice. Good work.

Its more of a gray-blue in person. The pic doesn't do crap for justice. I'll keep your opinion in mind.colosalblack wrote:kewl! as emeraldz said it would be awesome with a bit of paint.( that grey color is really boring)
Your the first one to not like the name. *gives a cookie*.jjhammerstein wrote:I think it's a stupid name.
But it's a fine piece of work.
Thanks. It wasn't exactly easy to trace the motherboard to the two daughter boards.
