How to Make a Modified PS3 Controller

One popular way to modify the PS3 game controller is to add a chip that turns a normal, single-shot weapon in a game into a rapid-fire weapon. This is a process that involves opening up the controller and adding the chip to the internal circuit board. It is not for the faint of heart but even if you don't have much tech experience you should be able to complete this mod in a matter of minutes.
