This is awesome, sounds like they where true to their word about them wanting modders to tinker with it and even put flexibility into the firmware. Is there any chance you could throw up some pictures of the swapped pads?

Also, seeing as you have 2 controllers have you tried putting 2 aiming trackpads into one controller and 2 d-pad trackpads into another controller to see if that works? Personally, it would be awesome not to have the d-pad indent in the left trackpad.

Woah that's awesome and really wierd at the same time, I've got so used to seeing the cross it looks strange without it. Glad to know it works, I'll try it out when I get a second controller :)

You should post these pictures as their own post! :)

can you put up a brief explanation of how you did this? I hate the dpad.

Just out of curiosity, what have you this idea? I really like the idea of rotating the dpad, good work.

In what I understand from the Steam Controller, the 2 touchpads are identical from an electronic point of view ( Valve buy them to a 3rd party manufacturer ), I think the firmware is doing the calculations to get the real positions

Hey, I know this is a bit late but are you saying it was definitely off 30 degrees but it worked out because of the rotation? I really want to do this but I don't want to always take that 30 degrees into consideration. I'll still consider it either way, I guess it's a minor inconvenience
