Its only 38 bucks here:

The original pad is good, not great. I use it a lot and its definatly better than my phones keypad for most games. Unfortunately the placement of the shoulder buttons makes them worthless and the D-pad is a little loose/flimsy for me. It fits my Nokia 6630 very well but I might have to try this mod for the other issues.

uhm.. yay? its cool an all but not really that impressive. just a casemod. plus it doesnt help the people that cant afford that stupid controller to begin with (70$ wtf) if he had built a bluetooth controller from scratch i would be more impressed. but i will admit it looks A HELL OF A LOT bet than the original. good job

Lol, he certainly does… I bet he’s a real nut for PDA console emulation.

Awesome project, gaming on PDA has always been a pain in the ass.

In your face Ben Heck! jk, the clips make all the difference as far as the final looks of the project goes.

hal, I remember the good ol’ days with emulation on a 3650. I actually ended up getting a gamepad (wired, of course) shipped from Japan so I could play NES and SNES games decently.

Coincidently, I now also have an Axim x50v. I’m content with using my Bluetooth keyboard though, as I don’t have the money to buy a Bluetooth gamepad to hack up.

Dear Brandon Mongillo and all commenters,

If you have nothing better to say then “first” (et all) then please refrain from commenting. It is nice that you stay up that late and see that yes there is a new Hack-A-Day.

And yes, you are the first one to post. But please say something creative other then first post.

In that case we should all say what post we are
but the system does that for us (see the upper left corner of the comment)

Oh man that is slick.

I can remember playing on my iPaq 3650 with an NES emulator and having to tap the screen for run and jump. This takes gaming on a pda to a whole new level. The fold up commercial was just a cheap knock off of a PS2 contoller. This is what it should have been all along.

BTW. Props on the adjustable size.

that original bluetooth controller is really ugly and looks uncomfortable. the modded version is very impressive
