Whats up guys. I just finished my viking 360 controller.
Heres what I used.
Black Wireless Controller
Duo Install Viking 360 Chip - Installed the buttons above the back and start buttons like ESE.
Blue LEDs on Player 1 & 2
Red LEDs on Player 3 & 4
Black PS3 Style Sticks from Evil Controllers
Black D-Pad

Install took me a little while but I wanted to make sure I did a good job. Which paid off because as soon as I turned it on and hooked it up and flashed it the controller worked without a hitch. I must say this is an absolutely amazing controller. Better than any modded controller I have ever used. This was my 4th mod, and second I made myself. The first one was a cheap 3 mode sleeper. Second was the 10 mode from GamerModz which I paid a $170 with shipping. Third was the Intensafire. The viking 360 blows all of these out of the water. I love this controller. I bought the Gamermodz controller a while back for left4dead. I thought it was going to be the last one I ever had to buy. Boy was I wrong. With in 5 minutes I was back to my cheap 3 mode sleeper. I got into a game of L4D and got into the heat of battle. I was killing zombies left and right with my akimbo pistols and loving it. Right when Mr. Tank shows up and smacks me around. At this point I need to heal. I pull my health pack out and start to hold right trigger to heal and my healing bar starts going to 5% and then starts over and over. At this point I realized I realized I had to turn the mod off to heal. But to go through all ten modes back to off took a good 20-30 seconds. In a game like L4D you don't have the time to do that kind of thing when your in need of health. So at this point I was really bummed out. I went back to playing with my 3 mode which took 3 seconds to turn off and on with the d-pad. So now MW2 comes out and I'm looking for a good akimbo mod. I went with the Intensafire because it was cheap and easy to install. Well I get it and start playing with the akimbo I immediately notice a problem. If you are in akimbo mode you cannot aim down the sight of your primary weapon. Which was a big bummer also. I loved the Akimbo M9s but I wasn't willing to stay in akimbo mode full time because of the ADS problem. So finally I broke down and got the Viking 360. This thing does it all. Instant on/off for L4D. Akimbo mode allows me to ADS and destroy people with my M9's. Fast reload. Jitter. I'm in love with this thing. The ability to upgrade it for new games. If I had to recommend a controller for someone this is it! Hands Down. I'm a proud and happy with my Viking 360.

Were the LEDs impossible to install? my friend the jld was making his own mod and he burned out the 4th player one so he had to wire the third player led.

BTW: Are the Astros good? I have Turtle Beach X31's and they are amazing. I'll never go back to TV audio

Wow, some evil haters here huh? I ordered the black mushroom tops from Llamma's site and there is no difference, between those and the evil sticks except the price, but I figured since I paid the $20 bucks for them that they were going to go in my main mod now. I could have easily put the $4 ones in there. You know the old saying, "Its whats on the inside that counts," well goes for the controller too.

No they weren't impossible to install. The hardest part is not losing the LEDs. :D I must of been a magician in my past life because I swear I made one disappear into thin air. The controller is a CG2, and with a steady hand and some confidence its quite easy. Oh and a good pair or tweezers. I also have a pair of helping hands for soldering with a magnifying glass that made it easy to do.

Astro's are the Sh!T. Hands down. I started off with X1's and went to A40's. The difference was night and day. I've personally heard X1's, X31's, X4's, Tritton 720's and nothing comes close to the A40's. The 720's and X4's had too much bass. The clarity you get from the A40's is what makes them the best gaming headphones you can get. I wore X1's for a good 2 years before getting these and I don't know how I ever wore them that long. When I game its usually for hours, and after a night of the X1's it was hard to go to sleep because the sides of my ears hurt so damn bad. Oh and I have the best girlfriend in the world because she bought these for the MW2 launch as a present, and she got me the HD-PVR for my birthday which arrives tomorrow! Be jealous. ;)

Those cheapo's from llama are nothing like the Evil Sticks. I had them at first on an old controller and put the Evils on and like night and day. I am not a big fan of Evil Mods but the sticks are supreme imho. Those Kontrol Freek fps sticks are a joke, How they would help anything is beyond me but they look cool on my Dragon controller.
