how to rapid fire mod 360 controler for 3 dollars

alright, i know it is a big pain in the ass to have to go out and buy some stupid chip to rapid fire mod your controler. it takes time to ship and is expensive and complicated but i will show you how to do it without the chip. disclamer: i am not at all resposible for you breaking your equipment or bieng banned from xbox live. or hurting yourself somehow.

things you need
momentary push button
small flathead or torx t8 screwdriver
pencil tip soldering iron
rosin core solder
tape (optional)
drill
some sort of wire (mine came off a broken charger but 12 gauge is the best)
i bought every thing i needed for this at radio shack.

Step 1 Taking apart

alright i know that going out and buying things is annoying so if you want this to be the easiest you can buy a torx t8 security proof screwdriver. i personaly use a flathead and broke the pins out of the middle of the star shaped screws. second there are seven screws. if you think there are only six you my friend are wrong. behind the battery pack it should be near if not under some sort of sticker. it is relitivly but also important. after that is done you could tape your buttons or if you are like me and cant find tape just turn it upside down and be careful. make shure the metal coils that touch the battery arent getting caught on the bottom case of the controler. when you are pulling the controler should be upside down. take the lb and rb buttons off for now all of those wires in the pictures arent going to be there because this controler is highly modified by a friend i just asked to take a picture so i could make this instructable.

Will it work for Reach, Black Ops, and MW2?

[simplebotics]

ya it will work i tested mine, my friend just bought one for over 100 dollars from a "pro", cant wait to show him mine that i made for 1 buck!

[Buzzsushi]

@Brermer1281 Reach is sketchy due to the reticle expansion. Just sayin.
Also, @simplebotics, I was thinking of doing that myself (Most controllers on ebay are $80) and selling it for around $70.

[cwolfe7]

If you play in the new TU Beta playlist in Reach, they have an awesome gametype called ZB Slayer, which stands for "Zero Bloom", meaning the reticle won't expand. So it would be perfect for that, which is why I want to mod my controller for this.

[milesg]

Has anyone done this if so did it work?

[Bremer1281]

I just found out that my controllers are the "matrix" model. Will those work?

[Bremer1281]

I bought my xbox and controllers in October 2009 (they were new). Will they work for this mod?

[X-22]

does anyone know what the solder points above and below the middle one are for?

[Pale_Flyer]

the middle is the voltage in. the other two are for the "output". you need to test this with a multi-meter. one will be for the "push" the other for the "release"

[VincentDA]

Can you get banned for rapid fire?

[junits15]

not a permanent one, you can only get a temporary ban (as far as i know) The reason that this happens is if enough people complain because you piss them off. You risk a temp. ban for using one on live, you will be absolutely fine if you use one in single player or local multiplayer.

[AJKargl25]

OMG I HAVE AN EXTRA BUTTON! YES! I've always wanted two right triggers :)

[vampierwolf]

does this just work on x box live or can you use it on fire fight and campaigen?

[GianniMora]

[RANDOMUS3R]

You know it's the other way around. The matrix one is the newer models that don't work that way. And the older models have a Quartz crystal (this one is the one that works w/o a 555 timer).

[manmelvin]

The matrix is the older model which works for this mod. The cg is the new model with no crystal therefore it will not work without a timer.

[iDuumb]

it will work as rapid fire, it depends on the switch type you get. robb is right if you use a normal switch but you must use a different type of switch

[cdousley]

where did you get the swith i need one like that

[dylan2345]

 hi chris

[manaox2]

BTW, 12 gauge wire is HUGE! You probably want 30 gauge.

[sjoobbani]

 Don't cheat.
Lag switches
Rapid fire
H.A.X.
DO NOT CHEAT.

[STILL*FREE123]

Lol, pwned

[gazzlo]

dude- this image is way too small to see.

[Pwii]

I just wanted to point out that you do not have to remove the right rumble device in order to put a switch there. I did it about 6 months ago and I did not have to do anything of the sort.

[ac1D]

WTF, take your own picture if you have done it, at least. Dumbass.

[mxblankd26]

this is not true it works as a rapid fire mod on my controler

[muvian]

Most of the people that do this the cheap way use the spot that flashes the led and will burn out your controller with use

[Redneck2]

How can this get you kicked out of xbox live?
