Put the switch in your new hole. Make sure that you orient the pins so that they are not getting bent or squashed when the controller is back together. I had to remove some of the motor holder to fit my switch in.

Ok i did it it works for cod4 and mw2 fal and g3 are a bit glitchy handguns are perfect in both games. Barret50 and wa2000 are great. Blackops does work but only the handguns. Halo reach i think only plasma pistol. This is very tricky to get to the led it is best is a person holds wire to led and another solders it, but otherwise it is a great somewhat simple mod

i have a question with the 2 wires connecting to the button is that just 2 wires soldered to the one spot or the 1 wire?

Hi, I got the some buttons as modman779. The problem I am having is that i do not have to push the button for it to start working. Also if i am using a automatic gun in COD4 i cannot get it to stop shooting any suggestions???

 Look on the back of the bag of buttons,  you want the ones that say  " normally closed,  not the ones that say "  normally open""  they look identical but work completely opposite, same thing happened to me :D  good luck.

To me this only works if the battery is on 3 bars of power or less any idea how to solve?

i have a problem... please help. i did the mod and it works great, but the problem is that it only works with a half dead battery. what could be the problem. i don't know if the switch is rated correctly but i did the math and it checks good. wtf?
Dec 27, 2009. 2:19 PMbobeatsbob says:

I was wondering where you got your push button. Did you get it online? If so what is the site.
Aug 18, 2009. 5:56 PMkeonetics says:
radio shack, i got the samebuttons as modman779
Aug 7, 2009. 1:53 PMdnhorst11 says:
there is no metal spot to solder below the player one led. i tried anyway but the solder will just harden, but not adhere. any advice?
Aug 17, 2009. 1:11 PMkeonetics says:
your not soldering right, look at some videos to see, also you solder it to the negative side of player 1 led. you dont put the solder on your iron and rub it onto the board, it wont make a strong joint, you have to heat up what your soldering and your surface too, then put solder on it, never touch the iron.

i have the same buttons they work great and there cheap
Apr 8, 2009. 2:36 PMmodman779 says:
i went to radioshack today and got a small pack with 4 momentary pushbuttons(2 black ones and 2 red ones). The price is great only costing around $4.00
Apr 6, 2009. 1:05 PMmattlam says:
i made a controller (modded) with LED's in the buttons and i have burst fire i have a instructions for this email me at Matt_paradis_23@hotmail.com
Apr 4, 2009. 1:03 PMxfirelordx says:
Hi, so does the color of the controller matter at all? I have a black and a white. And what is better the older controller or a newer one?
Mar 31, 2009. 7:33 PMASUROCKS888 says:
can anyone suggest the best type (company, model, etc.) of switch button to use?
Feb 21, 2009. 12:53 PMzacko says:

Jan 24, 2009. 6:34 AMlaxman407 says:
the mod works for cod 4 but not cod5, does anyone know why?
Feb 14, 2009. 3:37 PMalex-sharetskiy says:
what game is in the video?
Feb 10, 2009. 5:50 AMegermann04 says:
COD5 monitors your firing rate w/ all of your weapons, they have tut's of how to make a micro controller rather than having to put out the money for a mod chip, it'll work for the first clip in each game but from my experiences it's not worth it on cod5, if you use that one clip in the beginning just to LOL at, it actually makes you fire more slowly for the remainder of that game.
Jan 24, 2009. 6:03 AMlaxman407 says:
I did all the soldering correctly because my controller turned back on the rapid fire worked for a split second but now when i hold the button it automaticaly fires but it fires really slow. Did i make a mistake?
Aug 23, 2008. 10:49 PMairblunt2009 says:
I think i may have made a mistake, I picked up a normally CLOSED momentary switch and didn't figure it out until after I had finished and had an awful confusing test..... learn from my mistake and read labels

**CORRECTION**
It's just the opposite-Sorry...
I remember norm-closed-momnt switches were BLACK, and norm-open-momnt switches were RED...
Not sure if it's still true, nowadays..

Sep 16, 2008. 5:46 AMsupadave23 says:

Nov 13, 2008. 6:56 PMmayday295 says:
i just bought a pack of 4 for about 4 dollars at radio shack, same kind it shows in the pictures above. came with 2 red, and 2 black, both open, so it can be any color.
