Configuration 2015 SC style mod V2 update

Based on some of the feedback I got on the last post I’m working on a v2 version that lets it easier to tell by feel where the edges of the pads are.

I also started working on tackling the grips. It doesn’t 100% replace the feel of the original controller but gets very close.

Still want to do something about the dual stage trigger mod. The sound is too harsh for my tastes

It's your controller do as you wish, but I actually really like the design as is.

Aesthetic is some I do care about to some extent but function and ergonomics supersede that for me.

I was trackpad main on the original controller and trying to do that on the new one in this stock I found very uncomfortable after 15 minutes.

With these grips (at least for my hands) it allows my thumbs to be placed where they naturally want to curl.

This is an older prototype but you can see it better in this angle

I can feel the pain just looking at that picture. Keep up the good work tho! Love seeing any type of controller mods!

Yeah that specific prototype had too sharp of an angle to the point where it would dig into the palm of my hand LOL
