Right now I am finishing up this sick Macro controller.
Top Shell Chrome XCM with the normal LED lights
Removed the top LEDs off the XCM board, the ones that would have shined through the R+L bumpers
Has Microsoft top black trim with stock Microsoft bumpers (so no need to waste needed current+voltage that is why the bumper LEDs got removed)
Fabricated stock Microsoft middle guide button to fit into the chrome XCM shell
Clear D-Pad
Clear thumbsticks with the LEDs under the thumbsticks tied into the rumble pack motor's (so sick)
Bottom trim piece is the black XCM trim (the stock Microsoft ones fit funny) then one tact switch fabricated into the bottom to turn the LED's on/off (ehewwww, So Gross)
{Anyone notice NO-tact switches located on the top shell}
Bottom shell is a stock white Microsoft
Green XCM triggers (with a NyQuil green SMD LED under each trigger and the LEDs are tied into the XCM LED PCB were the thumbstick LEDs would have connected too, this cut down on wasted current)
2 tact switches located along the inside belly of the bottom on each side
1 tact switch located along the outside lip of the bottom shell on each side
This damn controller would have been done a while ago but I just didn't like the feel of the bottom shell after the first build, so I redid the whole bottom shell. Then for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to erase the Macro chip (like what you do for the legacy chips) as soon as I did that it all went to hell. Controller goes into programming mode now, but wont get recognized when connected to a PC.... There is always one super stubborn build that drives a MF crazy as ish'..........
Here are some img of the controller after the first build.
