Ahh, nice guide...I found mine else where. That wire block isn't necessary...You can just twist the colored wires together and electric tape each one of them if you really are desperate, lol. Or, you can just solder them together. Easy as pie, works very nice. Playing emulator games on your PC with an xbox controller is fun ^^

Ah, damn. If I hadn't already nerfed up this cable the easy way, lol, I'd do it that dual way. That's pretty hot. Thanks for that guide, if I ever get time, I'll try it that way

dual is a really good guide for some who is gonna use their controller for both xbox and pc

thanks Anders!

oh and did any one here got the Throttle in the triggers? ...for me right now that trigger is considered as a normal button in games...i want it to have throttle so that i can accelerate slowly in car games etc.

They are ugly though, they are too much like the controller-S instead of the original larger more comfortable and accurate ones

its not ugly if u make it right and take a tiny bit of time to cut the holes for the wires...

i did this about 6 months ago, yes i do know there were adapters around but i had the kit spare so why spend the money, best mod i've ever done actually, really useful!!!
