PS360 Controller From Dual Shock 3
Not sure if I’ve ever shown one of these before, so here it is:
Very similar to my older models, but this one uses the Dual Shock 3 for the super-immersive rumble function and also has the original Playstation D-pad, creating a true Frankenstein’s monster of a controller.
Of note: Does the nonmenclature of calling something “a Frankenstein” rather than the proper “Frankenstein’s Monster” ever bug anyone else?
Anyway, some making of pictures after the break - enjoy!
Insides of the unit. This is actually the 2nd Dual Shock 3 PS360 controller I have built but the first I’ve bothered to put on the site. It’s using the original PS3 rumble motors, though if I recall correctly the first one I built used the 360 motors and was fine.
Top view of the guts. Not that it matters, but this model is built a lot more efficiently that past endeavors. Of course the Xbox 360 analog triggers are a pain as always.
Remember, these aren’t too terribly difficult, so if you’ve got the cash, I can usually be presuaded to build them. Check the “Email” button for more details.

I love the glazed look people get on their faces when I explain to them that referring to a gallimaufry as a “Frankenstein” is incorrect, and should instead be called a “Frankenstein’s Monster”.
Also, I think you mean “misnomenclature”. :) (Aren’t none of us perfect)

At last, a PS360 pad without the MS travesty of a d-pad. Seriously, why someone’d mod out the best d-pad in existence (i.e. the Sony one) is beyond me. Thanks for the new version. BTW, are the analogs a pain for structural or utilitarian reasons?
PS. And for the 3rd version, leave the superior x360 buttons and it’ll be perfect.

[…] Ben Heck is one hell of a modder. This time around, he took both the Xbox 360 controller and the Dual Shock 3 and combined them to make a super controller. I personally like both controllers and the way I choose which controller I find best depends on what game I’m playing. […]

Nope, it is for ps3
December 1st, 2008 at 4:20 am
THATS AUSOME, i would get one if i had the money, or a ps3. does anyone think that it would be possible to fit in the 360s controler board and the ps3s so you get a universal console controler?
THAT would be impressive, the main issue i can see is having both versions of the dpad, anyone think it can be done?
December 1st, 2008 at 5:14 am
how much does it cost to get one of those?

How would your friend make a ps360 controller for less than the cost of the two controllers? If true, I’ll take 10.

Hi,
I would like to know the price of a controller, not this controller. I want the controller that you built that works on 360, but is a PS3 controller, or something like that. Thanks, please e-mail me the price.
December 2nd, 2008 at 6:30 pm
Does it still need to use batteries or can it be charged with an USB cable??? Batteries sucks!!

Well, on the boards the term is “frankencasing” or “frankencase”, which I just assumed meant that it was like something that frankenstein created. But yes, it does bug me when people make little, yet common mistakes like that.

December 9th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
awesome as always… but does it still have the motion controls? if i bought a PS3, I’d have to get one of these as I have always hated the PS controler layout and feel.

You would call a Ford Vehicle a “Ford” not a “Henry Ford’s Vehicle/Automobile/Car/etc.” It’s made by the Ford Motor Company just like Frankenstein’s Monster was made by Dr. Frankenstein. I think it’s acceptable to call it “A Frankenstein” similarly to saying “A Ford”. Saying “A Frankenstein” like saying it’s made by Frankenstein or is based off his original idea. I don’t know I guess… *dons his flame retardant jumpsuit and prepares to be flamed*

I should add… if someone goes to the bathroom and leaves it rather stinky someone might say “he ‘Hecked’ the bathroom” that doesn’t mean you left it stinky…. but it’s “like” something you might have done. ;)

If I were to use a sixaxis or third party PS3 controller without rumble, would I still be able to get rumble on the “monster”?
December 24th, 2008 at 10:10 am
Hey man would like a controller with rumble. How much?
