Inverting right stick x-axis on 360 controller...

bunnywich · Post by **bunnywich** » Fri Mar 09, 2007 3:42 pm

I have searched everywhere and not found a solution...Can anyone tell me how to rewire the xbox 360 controller to invert the x-axis of the right thumb stick? I know the basics of what needs to be done, but don't want to ruin a $40 controller. I would be so happy to finally be able to play Crackdown and Gears without dying every five seconds because, in the heat of battle, I look the wrong way.

Well, youll need to do this.

Get me a pic of the back of the mobo, and I can make a good diagram.

cant you invert look in game? i know you can on PC shooters

No, that's what's so frustrating because in every other game you can. I don't know if it's mainly Xbox games but I've never NOT been able to invert it in Gamecube and PS2+3 games.

I know a lot about joysticks through personal endeavors. The way it should work is reversing two contacts on each of the two pots permanently.

Should the invert need to be stopped, when I make the diagram do you want me to make a switch in it?

Do you have soldering skills?

Not personally, but I know someone who does. Give me 2 hours and I'll have pictures for you.

I know the drawing is crude, but you basically want to switch around ground and voltage (+5v). You must make sure you cut the traces leading to those pins (ground and voltage) before switching them, or else you'll short some stuff out, bye-bye controller. Let me know if anything is unclear!

Sweet! What about that switch Shock? It would be nice to be able to set it back to "normal" if the need arises because I know not everybody plays "goofy" like me. It's not that big of deal, I'm just happy knowing how to invert it now.
