How To Mod A Xbox One Controller

Yeah, convert an Xbox One controller to become like an Xbox Aristocracy controller. Not exactly though an Elite controller since there are no paddle sticks at the back. Hence "Elite-ish". Nevertheless, we exercise get the swappable magnetic thumbsticks and swappable D-pad with this mod – including the circular D-pad that is bang-up for fighting games. Also, we now accept the ability to cutting the trigger button travel distance by one-half!

To achieve the ultimate Xbox 1 controller, we demand ii mods. They both total for less than RM100. Information technology's a footling steep for some, but honestly – the Xbox One controller is already great by default. Adding these mods will raise the controller even further, but only for certain specific utilize cases.

Knowing what mod to use

The offset mod nosotros accept is the trigger stops. This literally adds a stopper on the analog triggers, so that the travel altitude is cutting by half. This showtime modernistic is unproblematic as it requires less than 5 minutes to complete. This mod is a no-brainer since it allows fifty-fifty faster actions for fast-paced games like shooters or whatever activeness games.

The second modernistic is to swap the joystick and D-pad, which requires disassembly and voids your warranty. However, the mod but requires disassembly once, and then you're proficient to go. Both thumbsticks and the D-pad tin can be swapped as they are held by magnets.

I personally similar the round D-pad. It feels natural to roll off a combo in fighting games while still being clicky as the stock D-pad.

For shooter games, perhaps using the longer thumbstick is better since information technology allows for effectively control, hence enhancing precision. You can likewise apply a longer thumbstick on the left and a shorter one on the right.

End upshot

I accept to say, my Xbox I S controller is now 3/4 on the way of existence an Elite controller. I tin can accept a much shorter travel distance for my triggers, which allows me to press the button faster than before. I detect information technology to be useful for many other fourth dimension-critical games likewise – like Dark Souls, Sekiro, and also shooter games. Then as for the D-pad, information technology's just swell to have the option to use this octagonally-shaped D-pad for games.

The thumbsticks are also up to my liking at present. Depends on what games you lot're playing, perhaps you might want a longer thumbstick for amend accuracy, and vice versa. Information technology truly depends on you.

All-time of all, you canundo all of these mods if you desire to.
