I know may of you like myself love the max because of its form factor and turbo buttons, but hate the cycloid disc thingy.
In the past we have used Xbox 360 thumbsticks and some have super glued gamecube d-pads (really super glue?)
I had a thought and it worked add a NES D-Pad to it.
First we sand the back of the NES D-Pad to eliminate the bump in the back and make it flat
Once is all nice and Flat we move on to the ring of the Max where the arrows are and we start sanding and test fitting
Remember we are looking for a tight fit, Sand and Test Sand and Test until it pops right in
Im planning to mod another one in the next couple of days for a local buddy so I will take more pictures then.
I will try to record a video, it feels very natural LIKE IT BELONGS THERE
TWO PAIR;
I have modded a new one this one is sporting a Black D-Pad
This poor guy was abandoned as non working, and its shell is cracked on the corners so much so that two of the internal posts where broken, I said well no pain no gain, so I decided to step up my mod with a SNES D-Pad in it and I am still testing it, it feels good so far.
