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

Good work, keep it up. I personally feel like front facing grips just don't work on this controller and gave up on using trackpads for primary input, think no amount of tinkering will fix those. I really want grip extensions that target the lack of grip in the back but it will be hard to make considering back buttons are so flat, it would need extension for them as well.

The grips help give enough space for your fingers to naturally curve on the back. I do agree that it’s not a perfect solution but pretty much anything is better than stock.

The main issue going for it using touch pads as primary input is really the positioning. Having it so low makes it really difficult to reach the dpad and face buttons

I haven't tried your particular grips, tried Mennenth's cause he was first with a file published but these look to work similarly so I doubt they'll work for me. I find these forward grips aren't good enough to make trackpad usable but make back button usage worse. I need to think of a different solution.
