The finished thing! A gaming controller mounted onto my computer. :D





STEP 2

I took all the screws out to disassemble the whole thing.









STEP 3

Cutting the wires and attaching a USB cable to it instead. All the wires are colour coded so connecting a USB was very straight forward.









Fired up Alice Madness Returns to test the controller. Everything works fine. I was very happy at this point.









STEP 4

Building the mount. A bit of wood I cut to 12.5 inches. I then cut and carved the ends to fit the control pads.









I then carved a channel to tuck the wires into the wood. Applied some masking tape and painted over it again with black paint.









After.

WITH the gaming controller case attached. :D

Since the controller is only attached to the case I can still easily take it out the Surface Pro 4 which is handy.





I bought a faulty Linx Vision from ebay. I thought the controller design was fantastic and wanted it on my Surface Pro 4. The Linx Vision was much smaller than my Surface Pro so I had to build a custom mount.Moment of truth! Plugging in the USB. All the buttons lit up. :) Windows 10 reconised it as an xbox controller. Perfect. :)I used black acrylic paint. Applied with a sponge to get a smooth finish.Once the paint was dry I started screwing everything in.Attaching the controller mount onto the backplate stand of my Surface Pro hard case. You can see the wire slightly pushing up the tape. But that's fine, not a big deal.All attached. When folded back, the controller also works as a stand. Ta da!Without the gaming controller case attached.
