 i think rapid fire online is cheating, its not how the game is meant to be played.

in terms of appearance mods, then yeah go for it

Customized or personalized controllers don't appeal to me, but if you like them then so be it.  I don't really care either way.  Just no cheating.  Personally, I am a fan of just solid colors - black to be precise, but again that's my preference.  To each their own.

IMO it's kind of dumb, I mean it's not like anyone's going to see it unless you have people over.

I don't really see the point of putting down all that money, I don't even look at my controller when I play games so not even I would see it.

Of course it can look kinda neat, like this one. But still not worth it in my opinion.

they are cool. only thing i don't like is the people that have the modded controllers.  i found that ps3 controller is a lot easier to fire faster then a 360 controller.

i have a somewhat custom xbox 360. so far $40 went into it. i think it is quite awesome. i have a different better fan that glows blue and have a different color ring to blue

@iam3green:

Not to be an ass but why would you have a glow on the back fan? It's seems like sort of a waste, unless you have your xbox backwards?

Now this is a controller mod I can whole-heartedly accept. I think it's quite obvious why.

@Azteck: your not an ass :) the fan glows both sides (inside) i don't have a window or something to see inside the 360 so i can only see the outside of the 360. i don't think it was really a waist of money as i'm working on modding it even more. the fan is better then the original fan. 

the cool thing is that i got the warranty sticker off by magic so if i have any problems with the 360 that i need to send it to microsoft i just put everything back to normal and microsoft will fix it.

I don't have a problem with them, as long as they don't enhance your chances in a video game.

Oh I see! Well that can be neat I guess. The blue circle thing looks kinda cool in my opinion. ;)

The only modification to a 360 controller that I could understand is a new D-Pad.

Dont LEDS use almost no power? I dont know that for a fact but thats what i though....

Modded controllers, are cool if you have an easy way  to get one, i like the clear one though, reminds me of my N64 controllers, i loved those.

I tried to make an arcade stick and failed horribly at the soldering.   I have respect for anyone with the dexterity to modify controllers.

I wouldn't mind having a wood themed 360 controller. That would be truly awesome!

I'm not disagreeing, however i'm taking issue with the idea that a turbo function is 'cheating'. It would have to be argued game by game for it to have any significance, one function is not a global cheat, and without some kind of programmable function I don't see how a rapid fire button would gain someone any significant advantage in the huge majority of games. Heck, even Castle Crashers you'd have to program it to alternate X and Y.

I agree with the principle, that additional functionality is an unfair advantage, but I disagree with the specific example.

As for purely aesthetic mods, sure they can look good, but honestly how often do you look at your controller while playing a game? I'd much rather be looking at an awesome game than the controller. As for clear mods, no, just no. I used to think they were cool, but now i've done my share of modding things I have to say, I don't know why they are so popular, especially with the mod crowd, controller guts are ugly as sin and I do not want to look at them any longer than I need to.

Edit: Also, why the HELL would anyone purposely put a PS2/3 analogue stick into a 360 controler?! PS pads have the worst sticks around, the only worse sticks are the Dreamcast ones, and after a few months of use, N64 ones. Damn, that said i'd like to put 360 sticks into a PS2/3 pad.

@The_A_Drain : PS sicks are far better than xbox sticks as have a better feel to them and they stick out instead of sticking in compared to the
xbox sticks
