Done!
If you are having trouble putting it all back together, try wigging it while applying gentle force, and make sure all wires and button rubbers are not obstructing anything.

Here it is in action!

does it matter how thick your wires are? i plan on modding my controller soon have some thinner wires want to make sure they will work
Nov 9, 2011. 8:23 PMthe_burrito_master says:
Thicker is fine if you don't short anything out thinner's just easier to work with in this case.

This wire in this instructable is really easy to get if you've got any old computer's or old computer parts lying around you can take the Gray IDE ribbon cables apart and use that.

this doesnt work for me. it doesnt fire at all unless i hold the trigger and press the switch (or vice versa), and then it only fires at normal rate. just realized i put a normally closed button in there. do i have to have normally open?
Jun 22, 2011. 10:06 PMtickle my twat says:
your rapid switch works the opposite way of the regular one, i think you have to hold it so it doesnt fire like crazy, the when you let go it fires

I made a rapid fire mod like this, but it doesn't do continuous rapid fire. I have to keep pressing the button for it to fire, and by button I mean the mod one, not one thats already on the controller. its still a lot faster than just using a trigger button, but it doesn't do what this video shows. any help? oh and it works on CoD5, but only to an extent. If you use it too much then the game will detect your using a mod, and stop you from using it. (I.e. continuous rapid fire from a rifle.) but if you use it on a hand gun such as the .357 magnum, the game is less likely to pick up on the mod. i suggest using it with last stand.

maybe there was something wrong with your switch theres tons of posibbilities that could of caused that problem

does anyone know for sure if it works for cod 5
Aug 1, 2009. 9:17 PMmatchez says:
no, cod5 has a rapid-fire detector and temp imobilizes you.
Jan 8, 2011. 10:08 AMGRENADESQUEEZER says:
no it doesnt... Black Ops has that though...
Jun 22, 2011. 10:01 PMtickle my twat says:
blacks does have it but not for the pistols and on zombie it isnt patched that depends if you did your mod right
Jan 26, 2009. 10:11 AMWindowsHacka says:
i have moded quite a few controllers and have noticed if you don't have a resistor soldered on it your rapid fire is not smooth its choppy!!!! don't believe me just look @ the video he doesn't even empty the clip b/c it confuses the game b/c it shoots at like 30+ fps also with this mod it doesn't work on xboxlive which every one who does this mod want's it to work with!!!
Jun 22, 2011. 9:54 PMtickle my twat says:
i think your just making up lies because i just played almost all the cod games with the moded controller using this tutorial including world at war online and it worked, but yes it is sort of true about it being sort of choppy but i really dont think a resistor has to do with that i thinks its either your wire isn't soldered closely enough to the pins or the pulses are so fast that it skips like 1 or two bullets
Jun 22, 2011. 9:57 PMtickle my twat says:
yes it does i played it online, infact its the game that works best with this mod all the other games are variant with their gun fire speed and limit the pulses making some guns work better then others
Mar 10, 2011. 10:30 PMWindowsHacka says:
yes and still does but its almost pointless unless you do zombies.
Jun 6, 2009. 4:35 PMpurple shirted eye stabber says:
it will work just as long as you have vibration on and if it soldered to the positive terminal (right prong) of the motor thing mybills was talking about a few posts up. i did this mod today on my friends and my controllers. it works great! and on xbox live for COD4.
Apr 18, 2009. 2:39 PMcod 4 geek says:
guys it does not work on cod 5 koz they made a patch for modded controlers.
Jun 22, 2009. 5:01 PMSomebody_z says:
I have seen plenty of people do it on cod 5, because almost every game I join at least one person is and they are not using double tap (increased rate of fire it you do not know what that means)

have u tried a 555 timer? there like a buck at radio shak and it gives a pulse (which should work better for shooting)
Jan 31, 2009. 8:43 AMbenz_z says:
and (don't quote me on this) i think it MIGHT (no guaranties) work with the new controllers
Jun 13, 2009. 11:01 AMGun Maniac says:
Good project but why hasnt anybody thought about building a seperate circuit that you could just plug into the controllers? I mean take the MAIN ins from the trigger and hook up a 555 flasher circuirt with a variable resistor to determine te speed, if thepatch works the way I think it does then you should be able to set the variable resistor to fire at high speed avoiding the patch and by not using the rumble pack!

tell me how it works out i dont wanta break anything
Feb 21, 2009. 8:46 PMsinner6975 says:

Mar 4, 2011. 9:17 PMMaximum Payn3 says:
My controller worked beautifully for about a year but all of a sudden it stopped working! i have checked all my solder points and they are all fine, i have the right controller (because it has worked before) and i have the right button. My right trigger has stopped working and my turbo button has become my fire button (when the button is released). This only works when my controller is running through the play and charge kit (I have rechargeable battery pack in), i cant even shoot if the play and charge kit is not in. Has my controller died??? can anyone help me.

Does it work on COD 6 MW2 ? Thanks
Aug 18, 2010. 9:31 PMCyborgGold says:
I'm having an issue with mine. I dont currently have a copy of CoD, got robbed and lost most of my games. I tested it out on GRAW and honestly... I can fire the pistol faster myself than the rapid fire mod. Is this a GRAW speciffic issue?
Sep 29, 2010. 6:48 AMjufreese says:
The makers of the games set fire rate limits on guns. It is game and gun specific.

imagine this in left 4 dead

that would be sooo much fun
Aug 5, 2010. 3:12 AMastr0 z0mbie29 says:
that is an interesting way of doing it i have a friend who did it where he had a computer to activate is rapid fire mod just like what you did except without the button sticking out of the controller pretty neat.

Can you use it to snipe? or will it take you out of snipe
Apr 4, 2009. 1:02 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?
Apr 18, 2009. 2:36 PMcod 4 geek says:
hello the better controller to use would be the older one. but first take your battery pack out and if you look at the mother board in the bottom left corner if it says tp3 u r sweeeeet!
Jun 29, 2010. 6:10 PMjjjoudah156 says:
what if mine says c15, will it work?
Apr 23, 2009. 1:16 AMDigitalAlien says:
Hi .. i did try to do it but i made a mistake.... i blew the 1st player led.... where else i can connect the cable, please answer me to my email please .. my controller is an halo 3 ( green one) it says tp3 under the battery lower left corner. email me to jonarivera@gmail.com
Jun 25, 2010. 2:22 AMelnicko says:
i cant get this to work with halo 3, all the momentary button does is act as the right trigger and only fires once with a pistol or any non-automatic gun instead of rapid fire!! Please help :)
