@RodmanIsASadPanda Yes. It is basically the same exact electronics from the SE. The "punch down" as I like to call it has either the PlayStation or Xbox button labels on it depending on which version of the stick you have.
Hey, Great vid. Question: Are you required to have a turbo button if you want to use it with xbox360? Could you maybe rig one button to be both the PS/Xbox button and also the turbo button?
@SWFfear4 There is an Install Primer that you can download from the Focus Attack product page that has many wiring diagram examples for different combinations of button count.
It shows for 11 buttons (8 attack, 3 function) you could have Turbo & Back/Select be the same button, Start, and Guide/Home.
For 10 buttons (8 attack, 2 function) you could have Start, Turbo/Guide/Home.
So, I'm thinking yes, you can have 1 button be PS/Xbox/Turbo.
@specialk122 They do not. You are basically only using the button presses from the stock PCB, everything else goes through the Akishop.
It would be nice if there was a way to connect up the LEDs to the Akishop PCB since it does include turbo functionality of its own. Maybe in a future version?
@robytrice22 Yes! In fact, it will be much simpler because you don't have to do any goofy soldering to hook up the home and turbo buttons. Just add some 24mm buttons to your custom stick and use them instead.
@daidouji The PCBs between the SE and TE sticks should be the same. The only difference is the case. The case is smaller so you'll have to find a suitable mounting position for the Akishop PCB inside the smaller SE.
Very good guide! Just one thing, if you never disconnect the wire from the joystick, you can prevent it facing the wrong way, and being connected poorly, right?
may i know how/ where did you put the ribbon cables? can you send me a picture where did you put that? thanks

Does the inside of the stick show which wires go to which buttons? It did on the SE and it would make it a lot easier to mod my TE if it did

Hey Donovan, just wondering if the Turbo LEDs still work with this mod?

Great video, just wondering, will this mod also work on a PS3 Madcatz SE Stick?
