Back in May we mentioned AcidMods’ spitfire mod that enabled rapid fire (amongst other things) and was undetectable by Xbox Live. The parts list was quite low, needing just a PIC16F84A and a few other components, which led to third parties selling controller mod kits on eBay. The AcidMods team has figured out a new way to enable rapid fire using just a momentary switch and the necessary wire to hook it up. All you need to do is wire in the switch between the ground on the controller LED and the middle pin on the trigger. The only caveat is that because it’s hardwired to the LED, you can only use the mod on the particular port you’re using the controller on.
The reason it’s so simple is because the Xbox 360 controller uses pulse width modulation to “dim” the LED on the controller, creating a rapid high/low signal. When the momentary button is depressed, it routes this rapid high/low signal to the trigger input on the controller, which is then input to the Xbox 360. Hit the read link for a couple more videos explaining this hack.
While this modification is undetectable by Xbox Live, it does create an unfair advantage in multiplayer gaming and could result in your account being banned.

Nice hack made simpler! I wonder why he puts so much emphasis on this not being fake though..
because its a youtube video, and 99% of the youtube commenters will likely call fake on him.
will this work with a wired controller?
It’s legit but it only works for the old style (matrix) wireless controllers using a powersupply/batteries with less than 3.0 volts in them and is really only effective for Call of Duty (I know.)
Or you can get the much more reliable/universal pic’s from his store for $8. http://wiredinput.com/ShopUSA/index.php?cPath=30
This is still “only” useful for COD. Might improve your aim in Halo a bit…whatever
Wow, i found this information really old. ive already made close to 20 controler mods using this tech. but i did attach the second wire in a better spot.
where did you attatch the wire….??
lol this guy is a douche, make sure you turn your sound off.
So this wont work on wired controllers then?
does this method damage your controller in any way or shorten its life span? and what is the name of the wire and switch? lol sorry its a bit of a newbie question.
wire name? really?
Steve? :3
I understand everything except the ground. What did he hook the ground up to? Can anyone provide a jpg.
I feel that there should be a more clearly, detailed illustration on exactly where to solder this.
I made my controller rapid fire but it fires on its own and when i predd the momentary button it stops firing the gun. Does anyone know why this happens?
You have most likely installed a “Closed” push button instead of an “Open” button. Closed switches will disconnect when pressed. Open switches will connect when pressed.
I’d guess (eric) that your switch is normally closed instead of normally open…
Sooperman23 how did you wire your controler i need help this guys instruction suck ass..message me at faustusraine@gmail.com
this only works on the old style controllers!
umm i got a question i have had my 360 for about a year now is my controller old enough to do this with
got one for ya… I did the mod and it works wonderfull. That is when the controller stays synced. Any ideas why after 1 to 3 min the controller looses sync with the xbox. resyncs, works, looses sync… it just keeps repeating that pattern.
i had this problem on every mod of mine. just take out the sync button or just file the back down alot and that usually fixes it
hi how dow you tell if this will work with my controler plz
fanks
To make sure this works open your controller and see if there is a resistor(looks like a oval shaped crystal thingy) right in the middle on the front of your controller if it does not it will only shoot one shot instead of rapid fire.
If you don’t want to make one you can buy them at http://www.thumbmonkey.com for $83. It’s a little steep but they sell around the same on eBay and these are crafted a little better than most of the ones out there. I bought one, just because I don’t trust myself to open up one of my controllers, because i’m pretty sure i’d destroy it haha =P

I dont know were to ground the wire at the top at the led. do you connect it to the side or do you put it in the hole below the led? please help
You solder the wire on the left side of the led. Dont apply too much heat as you can burn up the LED
this is a good mod ive tryed it but he complicates it a little
dude why do you put so much emphasis on it not being fake its obviously not
can I do this on a wired controller?
Yeah you can do it with a wired controller! They actually mod them at the website I linked to before!

i just modded my 360 controller today. and i put the wire in a better spot. i really like rapidd fire w/ the g3
What better spot I’m having trouble with original
yes lease share with us what the better spot is
I tried this worked fine, then updated xbox 360 to new firmware from xbox live, now it doesnt work at all, looked inside controller all is ok, and shorting out doesnt work, do we think micro have put a patch in to stop this?
I just modded mine with a 555 timer chip. After the xbox update, it still worked like a charm!
so if micro put a patch on this do tha controllers u buy online still work and if not id like 2 see the instructions on a 555 timer chip
can u do it for the “b” button. i want to make sure i never lose a chainsaw battle on gears 2 again
Will this work on the Battlefield Bad Company Game?
does this mod work after the last live update?
can you mod a controller for me i’ll pay you
So you can only do this mod with the old version that says…TB-1 by where the battery pack is of the new ones with the resistor or whatever it is on the front of the motherboard??
I need a better picture of where to exactly solder the wires. is there any other ways to mod it using nly a few parts?
Use this link to see a better picture of where exactly to solder. http://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=17135.0
But my question is how do I know if I have a matrix control or one of the newer CG board controls?
hey i got a sleeper mod for crismas and i played with it for about 30 minutes and then i think it may be either shorting out or the trigger gets stuck. but idk. so now if i let it sit for a little while it works for about 5 mmin when i use it and then it starts auto-matically shooting and then when i hit the sync button to turn it off i cant use the trigger but it kinda does some single shots. if u know wats wrong with it PM me at:pwningscape@hotmail.com
ty
look this is really simple mod i did it today took a while cus my soilderin iron is shit how ever all u do is soldier first wire to a pin under the b button there is three pins all under another soilder this to the middle 1 next wire must be soildered literaly on the first player light just at the bottom of the led where it connects to the contoler this mod will only work if the controller is not a d10 controler u can find this out by looking next the 1st player led it shud say d21 or sumin just not d10 and only works on wireless controllers sorry for the shit spelling hope this helps
What is the name of the wire you used?
Ok can someone please tell me what kind of screew driver I need to open the controller
And also the name of the wires and button
Also where I can get them
And finally, where to I solder them?
Email me at
aronali@mac.com
Thx
You will need a size 9 Security Torx to remove the screws. It is shaped like a star with a hole in it. Look at the screws on the back of your controller you will see what it should look like. If buying one make sure its long enuf to get in there, dont buy the little hex bit type.
The switch just needs to be a Push-to-make, the smaller the better, I got mine from Maplin £0.99.
If you look below the A B buttons you will see 3 little points sticking out, quite close together. U need to solder 1 wire to the middle one. Now find the Player 1 LED(the 1 that lights up the quadrant on your controller), little tiny and yellowish in colour. You need to solder the other wire to the lower part of it(Good Luck:). Now solder your switch to these 2 wires, power up and fingers crossed.
@brandon: I’m having the same problem here…any ideas?
Cmon guys, if anyone knows what’s causing this I would greatly appreciate the help.
Will this work when it says like c16 or c15 on the bottom left hand corner under the battery pack
if you have to use this to get an edge in cod your a fuckin noob. How about if you cant play like the rest of us dont play huh? Its funny bc every time i run into you modded controller nubs i own you like you never had it…if you need or want this your the biggest vagina i know of
this actually only works with the new controllers not the old ones. the new ones have a resistor on it and you need that. it is a small silver box on you circuit board on the front side right in the middle. cant miss it.
That’s not a resistor, that’s a crystal that determines/creates the frequency. The supporting resistors and capacitors create a square wave instead of sine waves.
will this work with the 5 volt controllers, I heard you need a 3 volt one for it to not destroy the controller?
ok just to clairified some things, i got the new controler(the one with the CG board/wireless)and a second one (with wire and the Matrix board).
Wich one i should use and is it possible this work with the new one??(CG board, because i rather have a wireless one)and a last question is this still wor with the new NXE??
Pls help and sorry for the miss-spelling
what would happen if you just hooked the wires to the trigger spot and the power do you need the power to pules or can it be steady ?
im using a 555 chip does this need to b programmed? or can i use it “straight out of the box”
LM555 (the standard 555 timer) isn’t programmable. There are ways to mod a controller using a 555 timer with supporting circuitry. You’ll also have to determine the proper RC constant to match the frequency you want to output. I believe pin 2 and 7 will have to be tied using a resistor. More investigation would be required on the pin-out.
hey im asking you because your the most recent person that has wrotten on this do you know anything aboujt this modddd ^^^^^^??? if you do could you heklp me? emai
imakebooters@yahoo.com
what do you do if the led comes out the mod doesnt work any more how can i fix it
