Reader [HotDog-Cart] is an active member of the benheck forums and recently completed this Playstation 3 boomerang controller. The boomerang was originally shown with the Playstation 3 prototype and was severely panned by the press. [Josh] started with a cheap 3rd party controller that was approximately boomerang shaped. He enlarged the controller body ~20% using bondo. The internals were replaced with gear from an official Sony controller. It was finished with a coat of black paint. It’s definitely a nice build and the new internals mean it probably feels as good as any factory controller.
Hey guys. Its me Josh. I hope you guys like my controller.
I worked on it for a while, and had a lot of fun making it.
This controller needs a TINY bit of work, as you can see
BUT its feels amazing to hold.
