I had some spare time today to repair some old sticks that I had stripped down for parts. I had a spare custom wooden case and a Madcatz SE style TvC stick for the Wii (which i sold eons ago). Decided to make a pair of wireless sticks to use for casual play. To accomplish this I picked up a couple AXISDapter from Toodles' site http://www.godlikecontrols.com. Basically you strip down a original PS3 Sixaxis controller down to the PCB. Included in the kit is the white ribbon cable which you simply plug both ends into the PCB and the AXISDapter board. Reconnect the battery, wire it up the buttons and joystick and your done. Genius! I connected the mini usb port on the PS3 PCB to the neutrik adapters you see on the back of the sticks. Therefore I can use a normal USB A to B plug to charge it when needed. After some testing I really was not able to find any noticeable lag - basically the same as playing with the stock pads. Awesome for the coffee table and not have to worry about anyone tripping on a cable.
