looks like a pretty good hack, wasn’t expecting it because removing the buttons seemed like a sacrifice of functionality but the finger sticks seem like an excellent replacement.

Putting the left analog stick next to the right one eliminates one of the great advantages of the x-box controller; having one thumbstick be off-center. Ever played an FPS with a Playstation-style controller? Horrible sensitivity aside, having the sticks so close together led to a great deal of discomfort (Sorry I can’t give a good reason, the Xbox-style layout just “feels right”), though part of that is due to the rest of the controller design.

Still, the fingersticks are an excellent idea. One of the (many) problems I have with console FPSes is the need to sacrifice your aiming thumb whenever you want to press an X/Y/B/A button.

shoot another video with the lights on, please? I can see you are manipulating something on the bottom of the controller, but your video is way too dark. And you didn’t shoot the bottom of the controller for the still shots. Maybe it’s just me, but I think it’s kind of important to actually show something when you are, you know, showing something.

The directional pad is still there.. it is mapped to a stick on the bottom for easier access..

this controller is fail. most fps games uses the right buttons and directional pad for special operations. useless piece of hardware for fps.

it looks like there are “finger sticks” (as opposed to thumb sticks) on the bottom.
pretty intuitive…

It looks to me like the buttons weren’t completely removed (that wouldn’t do much good) – they were just moved under and inside the handles.
