ok here is some new snaps of the controller. I am not going for the turbo switches at this time, call me lazy (not too hard but decided to add LED's instead at this time). FYI - right now I don't have the needed surface mount LED's, so in the first photos you will see the clear plastic guides but aren't illuminated (the very last photo is photoshopped). Also I decided to remove the "circle" pad near the ABCD buttons, it just didn't look right with the faded paint job for some reason. Happier with it off.
Any constructive feedback welcome but please don't suggest I mod some other controller
I happen to like this one alot - super responsive and comfortable. And for me it is fun to build a custom controller like this instead of just buying one.
And here is the end concept, going with a Neo logo this time. For the LED's the easy route would be to have all of them illuminate at the same time, fancier method is illuminate upon button press. We'll see which one works out.
