DIY Modded PS3 Controllers

One of the most practical and useful modifications for a PlayStation 3 (PS3) video game console controller is to add a rapid-fire chip. This small chip enables rapid fire on the controller with the push of a single button. This is useful when playing shooting or other action-based games. The chip attaches to the controller via an adhesive so there is no soldering involved in the process.

Things You'll Need
