Wow awesome! Any updates?
Sure!
How about some 2.4Ghz wireless OG controllers
You may have heard about these via the write-up over at the
Shumps forum.
If you keep reading you'll see that people have quickly run into issues with antennae, range, setup etc.
Bottom line - they work for me. YMMV. That's not a very helpful attitude, so here is what I have learnt...
Firstly, I purchased these direct from the seller on
Taobao.com, with
TBFocus as my forwarding agent.
The shumps page links to a reseller, but buyers have been sent the PCBs without a receiver unit
Don't do that. Also direct is cheaper!
Secondly, the receiver plugs are horrible. You can just about force them into the controller sockets, but good luck getting them back out.
I took a metal file to them to slim them down.
Thirdly.. there are no trigger buttons included. You need to harvest your own... Lucking I had a few padhacks with unused trigger buttons.
They desoldered pretty easily with just a cheap solder sucker
Lastly there are no instructions included. Here are mine:
Switch on: press Start
Switch off: press and hold LT,RT & Start
(3 seconds - red light flashes, turns off).
Program:
Start with everything off.
- Press and hold Start until red led is lit.
- Plug in receiver and power on console. (Receiver should begin to flash rapidly).
- Press ABCXY or Z to set channel. (Receiver flashes slowly, controller is still red).
- Confirm channel: Press Start and Channel button selected previously. (Controller and receiver steady green led).
I used 'Channel A' (Button A) for the first pad and 'Channel C' for the second pad.
To reassign channels, repeat above steps.
Reset button looks to reset current connection on current settings.
And don't worry - no HSS-0125 IR receiver units were harmed... Everything is reversible:
