it has an xbox PCB in it right now. the pad was only $15. the paewang PCB for the dual mod is $40 and I'm broke after buying all those buttons.

most people are telling me you can't bring a 17 button controller to a tournament anyway so maybe it doesn't matter that it's not dual modded.

yeah, that's a bit too excessive in #s of buttons, lol.

I had it for 3 days. I had to really work at it to get close to how good I play on the JLF with the LS-55 spring. had to spend a lot of time in practice relearning everything. your probably right that it has too many buttons. I use everything on the right hand all the time so I think that went well. the left hand only moves down to the second row for a P1 CD from the P2 side. I had planned it so I could play P1 hand on P2 just by using the second row but I soon realized that taking your hand off the buttons for just a second is not a good thing. the extra UP buttons I never use. I might stuff a microcontroller in there to add something on the 2 unused buttons.
