    Personally, I can’t imagine using a controller where all the buttons are on the back; I have enough trouble keeping the top and bottom trigger buttons on controllers separated in my head without the whole ABXY combo spread out back there. That doesn’t seem to be a problem for this guy, however, as he has expertly modified his controller to both switch all the face buttons to the back and reposition the analog stick so it’s more like a Dual Shock.

    This isn’t really the kind of mod you can do in your living room, like adding a mod chip to your PS2. This is more like a “I’m an engineer that works with fiberglass and I have a free Sunday” level of difficulty.
