Some sweet deals on ps3 fightpads (I know, I know..only woman use pads) but its a great alternative for portability fun...

for extra cheap, choose beast man's one, $5.00 cheaper!

Public service announcement!

Currently xbox 360 madcatz fight pads are $60 at mighty ape http://www.mightyape.co.nz/sale/41/Xbox-360-deals-for-the-weekend/

from what I understand they are the ONLY locally available source of common ground pads for 360. They are THE PCB you want for dual mods if you have a PS3 stick

As a point of comparison the normal 360 wired MS controller also retails for $60.

Why are there no common ground wired pads for PS3 on special ? Sad Panda.

The madcatz fightpad sale is back on btw. For anyone who doesn't want to get the Paewang revolution pcb, this is the only way you're going to source something locally to dual mod a PS3 stick. This is important since our nats this year will be on 360, and also it's really just better to have a stick that works on both.

^ a thread with some info on soldering the pad. It looks like a really nice pad to hack.

i really want to mod my TE so it works on ps2 and ps3 and maybe xbox 1 .

the paewang is a pcb which has both ps3 and 360 built in - so basically you'd SWITCH your TE pcb with the paewang. This would mean your turbos and whatnot wouldn't work anymore, unfortunately.

Best thing to do would be to get a chimp off toodles on srk, dual mod your 360 TE with that.
