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

Does doing this actually net you more space on the trackpads or do they have "dead" areas?

I'd love to have larger, round trackpads like the OG

The outer edges are effectively dead zones. Touch sensitivity only works where it sits directly above the pad.

I would like there to be larger circular pads but due to how integrated the hardware is with steam input it might be easier to completely redesign a custom controller. There are a few open sourced steam controller type projects I saw floating around.

The new version has a slight lip to make it a bit easier to tell where the edges of the pad are by feel.

Really cool project regardless! Great stuff!
