A custom configurably production model, shown directly below, called the Access Controller and described in this post, is forthcoming and will available for mass market purchase from eDimensional. Stay tuned to Benheck.com for further information…

Now, back to today’s custom controller…

Recently I was asked to build another one of the right-handed controllers, and I thought I’d talk about it on the site a bit.

A single-handed controller with a swell bank of LED’s. Large version.

Today’s Hack Pick of the Week is a really well-done Super Nintendo portable by Brian Henderson.

Using a stock case from Polycase.com and a lot of good old fashioned elbow grease he created the slick SNES portable you see above. I think it’s quite well done. For more photos and information you can check out his “Making Of”, contained in our very own forums.
