Welcome to DIY gamer. The show where I teach you how to make your own professional grade gaming equipment. Today's video is about scuf gaming controllers/ Xbox Elite Controllers. A part and tool list is below. Please Rate,comment, and subscribe!
+++UPDATE+++
I found a better place to wire the "A" Button. You no longer have to take out the front board (LED/ "A" Board), only the Thumb-stick board or "B" board. Check the link below for more information. adf.ly/hCu73
A better way to remove excess hotglue is to soak it with rubbing alcohol, safer than using a lighter.
Parts:
Tact Switch, 9.5mm High x2 (adf.ly/e3rhh 4x $4.99) (adf.ly/e3rot 100x $3)
Plastic Spoon or Fork x2 (Free, Got mine from TacoBell)
16-28 AWG Wire (If you're having trouble finding wire this will work adf.ly/i6CIe)
Several small screws
-------
Tools: (Ask your neighbors or family if they have these tools before buying)
Torx T8 Security (adf.ly/e3u28 $3.49)
Torx T7 (adf.ly/e3wL3 $4.99)
Soldering Iron (adf.ly/e3wTn $14.48 Great starter kit)
Solder
Hotglue Gun (adf.ly/e3wey $8.10)
Power Drill (adf.ly/e3wjq $27.75)
Small Philips Driver
Masking Tape
Ruler
Wire Stripper/Cutter (adf.ly/e3xOs $7.92)
Sharpie
Xacto Knife (adf.ly/e3xkT $6.55)
3/16 (Buttons) and 5/64 (Triggers) Drill Bits (adf.ly/e3xoN $5.88)

damn..... it must feel good to have such technical knowledge
Yea you just need to practice. I can do this without the tutorial it's just fun to watch.
How would you make those back buttons bumpers? (lb, rb)
mate, you solder 4 wires wtf
That was amazing. Scuf does rip you off but I don't have the skill to make one of those. Props to you dude and anyone who can do this. NICELY DONE!
This is one of the most detailed DIY videos ice seen to date. I've been thinking of doing this for a while and this video got me to bite the bullet on buying a used controller for $20! Seller days it's in like new shape, and if all goes well, I should have a scuff controller for under $30! I will report back with how things went for me once I received the controller to be hacked apart lol.
Bela Sziklassy Well how'd things go ?
Hey man just wanna say thanks for this video. I just made my own and everything works and your instructions were very helpful. I actually already have a Scuf but I had a regular controller laying around so I thought might as well try to make a DIY for fun.
Man this was amazingly done :) loved the video and loved how professional it is. Great stuff!
Glad you enjoyed. :)
really thank you again . i never expected you reply so quickly.. you take viewers into consideration.. im 100% subscribing .. keep up the good work
This is amazing. I lost my job so can't afford a scuf,I have wanted one for such a long time now but unfortunately I just can't afford it after bills and shopping e.t.c.This could help so many people who don't have the money for a scuff pad. I think its a great vid. Unfortunately I tried and failed badly at doing this and now have no pad. You mke it look easy.
***2019*** IMPORTANT INFO for anyone who tries this in 2019 or later. They modified the way they design together some controllers such that the backplate will not go on if you put the buttons where he did in this video. You must put them somewhere in the handles where there is EMPTY SPACE or else it will not put back together. ALSO torx t7 is TOO BIG for the small screws in the circuit boards and triggers. A t6 worked for mine just be aware to have both t6 and T7 handy for either case.
This is good info!
so does this work on a xbox one s controller bouht in 2016?
For my custom wood grain "Scuf" controller, I used 1.5mm carbon fiber plates for the paddles. They feel GREAT and really look perfect with the wood grain.
Even tho this video is 3 years old I wanna leave this comment cuz this video just helped so much. Awesome stuff
Thanks!
Liked both of your videos on this, you deserve it!
Thanks :)
I simplified this and just installed a button on the back of my controller for my A button after my 200$ scuff took a dump :( great video with super easy instructions. I know nothing about electronics and was able to do it first try.
Thanks so much I really enjoyed this and I can now save my self a ton of money
Wow Nice Video I hope to See more from you soon!! I Can Tell you put time into this Keep up the Great Work!
Nice Job. Having worked on electronics since I was 12 or 13, I appreciated the heads up on several points as I'm sure many who may not have much experience should invariably find helpful.. Very helpful video. Thanks Man!!
Glad you liked it, I've also been working with electronics since a child and I've screwed up enough to learn from my mistakes and help others. :)
Excellent video, thanks for the how-to!
you forgot to add in the trigger stops, can you make a separate video for this? thanks
Very good video :) well done
Also for paddles I find using a fiskars flexible ruler works great, They're gripper and won't break if you bend them to far. I found them at walmart for a buck a pop.
On top of the update that you linked to in the description, it's worth mentioning that:
(1) It's easier (and less dangerous for the board) to connect to the B button at the D14 soldering point (just beneath the B contact) instead of the B contact itself.
(2) If you don't want to touch the bottom board (A board) at all, you can connect a single wire to the TP26 point (on the back of the B board) as ground.
(3) It's a better practice to connect only a single ground to the board and connect the grounds of the 2 tact buttons to one another.
I'll look into that! I plan on redoing the video once the S console and controller comes out.
to do the x and y button its the same as the a and b but different places right (btw great vid)
So is it confirmed that D14 can be used instead of soldering straight to the B button?
Also with regards to TP26, is that the point in the video where the white wire was soldered to? Then simply daisy chain all the tact switches together to remove any wire cluster?
you should emphasize the tinning of the wires because once i learned to do that soldering became 10 times easier but overall thanks for the help ewok
lol i didnt even do this but the fact that you said youd appreciate the like convinced me.
You're the man ... tanks, this video gave me courage to try it in my brand new controller ... but i'll not install the padlles, i 'll buy largers buttons and run it with fingers ... tanks a lot
Thanks for making this video!
this was not really what I was looking for but you great I'm just going to buy one sorry for being lazy.
Dude scuffs are pricey but do same thing as this guys diy one I've got a real scuff and one of these in honestly the real feels a bit nicer but they do the same thing
bro i feel you on so many levels with rage lol
Any other tutorials for adding a the trigger stopper? or changing the led light in the xbox middle button?
Great vid! Just a heads up, if you take off the shoulder buttons, the triggers flip all the way up and are much easier to unscrew.
Helpful tip- only make your wires as long as they need to be. Do this by measuring before you solder. Instead of hot gluing the buttons to the back plate, glue them to the back of the motherboard. This makes taking the controller apart easier.
OMG this is actually helpful. going to sub your channel bcuz of this video brah
Glad to be of help! :)
wow thanks so much enjoyed it alot
Great video!
Thanks, Hope it helped. :)
Do you need to do the soldering, Id rather not doing all the re-wiring, and soldiering ect. Is it not possible to do it with mostly just taking a part of and putting the replacement on. ( I don't wanna rapid fire mods or anything like that, just a cosmetic thing) thanks in advance for any helpl
Good vid thanks bro!
Cool video
Hello, I am doing my own controller and I have 30 gauge wiring. Will this be big enough gauge or should I get bigger wiring? Thanks in advance.
Why did you solder the wires directly to the button contact points rather than the test points? Soooooo much easier to use the TPs, and no risk of your tin interfering with the button movement/contact. "A" button is TP21, "B" button is TP41.
So do you mby know when you are buying the scuf controller and you wanna costumize your padles, they ask you what the left padle wanna be ( A, B, Y, X ) and what the left one wanaa be ( A, B, Y, X ). Where are the looking the controller at? the bottom or the top of controller?
Awesome !! Thanks a lot!!
Connected the wire to the boards and I'm waiting on the buttons to come in the post but I put the controller back together and tested the trigger stops and the a button won't work is that usual because I have the wire connected to the board?
For paddles i have a stand for a tablet case that the kick stand part broke off. Its a nice thin strong plastic. I tried to do this for the 360 never could get the solder to stick. Looks easier on the one actually. Ive got a spare might pull the Kit out and get to work. But yea there you go. Kick stand from a tablet case for paddles.
Does the glue hold the buttons very good or can it easly break? Sry for my english
I must say that was pretty amazing....question, how do I make a button for the L3 and R3 (joystick buttons)?
+Tasakajson Those are pretty easy. To the side of the joystick you can see a small tact switch. Just run a wire from where the switch connects to the board. Might take a little experimentation to see which is the right contact.
you can also put a rubberband on the tip of the torx screwdriver and it should screw out the stripped screw :)
really appreciate you uploading this video ; i have a question anw : what is the exact name of the buttons you used ? + what can i use instead of these exact buttons ? i literally cant buy them because of they are not available in my country !
Thanks. The buttons are 9.5mm High Tact Switches. Any electronic parts store should have them.
so im having a small issue. first off, the controller needs to be squeezed to be turn on obvious reason most likely being the boards are non fully connected or im having an issue with the button itself. second off, when i highlight an object it seems that the "A" button and the "B" button are going off simultaneously which just makes the object i have highlighted blink alot and if i try to use the buttons itself i get no response. before i crack open my controller case any thoughts?
Great video, thx - probably the best I have seen yet. The alternative "A" button point is a huge find +++, if there was only a "B" button spot... please post if you find one. The carbon removing/soldering is the hardest part of doing this, especially for people who have not soldered before and you can easily ruin a controller, which I did on my first try. I hate the scuf paddle design as the buttons need to be slanted, on the inner side of the controller as opposed to directly on the bottom where you have to press up, instead of to the side and into your palm - which is much, much easier.
I've multi metered every point on that board to no avail. But I'm not giving up hope. :) Maybe one day I'll find that hidden "B" lead. But I'm glad you enjoyed the video. :)
***** FYI, I was having issues with my modded controller not registering inputs at time, I added the tape like you suggested and it really helped ++. Also, I use multi-directional input switches which work better imo, especially if you place the button on the angled bottom part of the controller. Thanks again.
***** there's a point right next to the b button that's another point to solder to
What gauge wire do I need for it and what kind of buttons did you use ?
Yo ewok ok so am I able to screw the paddles in when I have a rechargeable battery pack? Or hpw does that work?
it worked😊 thx
your awesome bro
I followed your instructions step by step but when i tried to use the controller it didn't work. Once i press either the A or the B button nothing happens: on the monitor you can see that the command has arrived but in reality nothing happens. What could be the problem? Has it ever happened to you?
Im having trouble soldering to the a button. If it would be easier can i just get rid of the a button and solder straight to the metal piece?
I'd try to add solder...
What size screws do you use for the trigger stops?
Hi! XtaCEwok i like a lot you video!
I can configure the buttons or they are clones of B and A?
I'm already seeing their golds videos, keep it up!
Hi I have an original scuf and an original xbox one controller I want to scuf the original one using this videos but I have a question I feel the scuf sticks more tight than the original, do you
Know if scuf change the stick module? If yes , can I buy it somewhere?
Scuf has started using their own custom sticks on their controllers, I'm not sure if you can buy the exact kind they sell. I'd check their website, maybe contact support and explain that you only want an extra set of sticks and they might hook you up.
Thinking about doing this as a summer project
Do you know how to make adjustable trigger stops?
WooW WooW GOOD VIDEO ;)
would i be able to use my buttons and wires from my xbox 360 scuf?? for each button it is not a single wire though there is a black one and red one
Most likely. It would just be extra work and you can get everything you need for under $10
Could you tell the size of the screws or link where to get then
Is it possible to do this with 4 paddles or buttons?
Hi I have the newer controller with the 3.5mm audio port and cannot find on the board where to ground the switches. Any thoughts?
+Josh Runge Try near the battery pack ground.
if you get a magnet and rube the top of your scrow driver over it it makes it magnetic
I just did a bluetooth mod for my controller. I posted a tutorial effort. Anyway, this is interesting. I wonder about making four buttons and putting them more on the handles. How is the quality of the buttons you got at Radio Shack? I'd be interested in something that has quality and is responsive. Any recommendations?
I did try unsolder it but no joy :-(
Do you know a better place for the "b" button? As I used the diagram you show for the A button in the end. I have a spare pad so if I can solder somewhere that isn't on the button itself I would feel a little more confident doing it again
I can't find a spot for the B button. Just try scratching a very very small part of the pad off towards the top or bottom of the pad.
do you know how to make hairpin triggers for the xone?
How would you do this for all a,b,y,X buttons
Would it be possible at all to make one of these with remapable button with either an app on the Xbox or just on the fly remaping?
Possible, yes. But it will be very difficult. You'd need a multi position switch for each paddle then connect that to every input. Then wire the output of those switches to the back paddles. I've thought about doing it, but just never got around to it.
Hey when you put the buttons in did you put hot glue over the part where you connected the wire or just on the sides?
Sprae the wire
Thx man so much help
And i liked and subed
PLease, could you sand me another link with the news about A wiring or send me a picture, with the solder points, so ill try to run it in mine controller and tell you how it goes
I am having the same problem as the guy below. I can not get my controller to close completely flush. and I can not figure out why. SHould I use thinner wires or what. I am thinking it is the ground that is keeping it from closing flush. Is there somewhere else I can ground it to. Or could I make my own ground?
There should be plenty of places to ground the wire. Just play around with it if you think it will help. I'm really stumped that so many people are having issues with this because I can't recreate the issue at all. There is a possibility that the buttons are now a bit more thick than when I purchased mine. I'll definitely play around with different types of buttons and see if I can't come up with a fix. Anymore feedback you can provide will help. :)
Do you have to put the paddles where you did
where and when did you use the tact switch?
Tried this myself-the tactile switches work fine but the orignal buttons won't work now.i might of touched the carbon contacts with the solder iron..any ideas?
Could be several reasons. Too much carbon could be scraped off, too much solder could be on the pad, or you may have melted the carbon with the soldering iron. Try removing the solder and seeing if it works. If so, go look at the picture I linked in the description. It shows a better place to solder for the "A", "X", and "Y" buttons. Unfortunately I found that after putting out the video. :/
But best of luck, feel free to write me back if you're still having issues.
great tutorial. i have a scuf one and i have taken it apart. there are some connection points for the A, X, and Y buttons that are much easier to access, A button mostly though. (won't have to remove main board) i can send you a picture if you want. just let me know by responding to this.
tom london i know this video is super old and you commented over 2 yrs ago, but if u can see this please send that pic
I need your help guys, I screwed the B button, I soldered a cable to it but I retired the cable by pulling it and it took out a little part of the black circuit. sorry about my English.
edit: i screwed the b Burton but I figured out thanks to a video that you can solder to D14(the one under the B button)to the first of the two tiny soldered circle, to remap the B button as well.
Great detailed video! I would; however, suggest not using duct tape for your wiring management as duct tape is, in fact, conductive, and has the potential to create issues on the circuit board like that.
Real industrial strength Duct Tape has aluminum and is conductive, but consumer grade Duct/Duck tape has 0 metal and is not conductive at all. While I guess I should have specified, I don't see anyone encountering this issue. I work in Low Voltage and have used Duct/Duck tape for all sorts of electrical applications throughout the years with no issue. Its not preferred or standard by any means, but sometimes you gotta make due with what you have.
When I click on the link for power drill it's just constant ads, doesn't show me a site to buy the drill

i am looking to make a scuf but not for an xbox one. do i follow the same process for a 360 controller.
Check out this video, its the tutorial for the 360. :)
DIY Gamer, Make your own Scuf Controller
i have a qeustion if you gonna solder in side of your xbox 360 controller is it not dangerous to damage it
As long as you're careful you'll be fine. Just follow the steps and use as little solder as possible.
I have both a modded controller and a scuf controller how hard would it be to combine the 2 so I would be able to use them as one controller?
Shouldn't be too hard, just remove the mod from the modded controller and solder it to the scuf.
Very cool
I bought the X1 pro grip and x1 paddles from scuf used this video for the mod
How come you use buttons A and B. How can we drop shot and stuff. I know there's a new model of a the ps4 since this vid came out. I'm pretty sure there's a new Xbox model as well. Could you Scuf that one plz respond.
+DeadShot 929 Most people that dropshot use the Tactical control scheme in CoD. So I made the Buttons A and B so you can Jump (A) and Melee (B) easier. And yes this can be done to ANY controller, regardless how new or old. You just add a button to the corresponding contact points on that controller. Eventually I'll do a Ps4 controller video, I just don't have a PS4 of my own to test it on.
Hey bro i was wondering where the button link was cuz i am actually bulding it right now and i do not see a button link please give me the link right away thank you:)
Hi, just liked and sub'd, awesome Tutorial! Just had a quick question, do you happen to know where I would need to solder the LED's (for lighting up abxy)? I'm not sure where the power contacts would be at. Thanks in advance!!
You could use the battery power supply, aside that you would just need to use a volt meter and find an area that outputs enough to power the LEDs. It should be pretty simple.
*****
awesome, thank you!
Hi, I've done it this way. But I have 1 problem. My "a" paddle is working but the normal a button isn't. My "b" paddle and the normal b button are working like a charm. Please help😣
+Dominic Girnus There is most likely too much solder on the "A" contact, preventing the normal "A" button from working. Try removing some. Also try soldering the "A" button to the contact in the picture here imgur.com/YdgEtQm
Hey, how can I fit the paddle screws and still use my battery pack? Any ideas on low profile screws?
If you go to a hardware store you should be able to find some screws with a completely smooth head
XtaCEwok ok I will try it out. Thank you for the reply!
Hi! I am newbie to this electrical stuff haha but I just had one question. What does it mean exactly to 'solder' something and what is the purpose?
Excellent video by the way an you definitely earned a subscribe from me.
P.S: I'm trying to become more familiar with everything electrical and I thought you might have some tips? Perhaps you could tell me how you became such an expert :)
Soldering, in this case, is to fuse electronic components together. I've been playing around with this sorta stuff since I was young. I would take things apart and try to understand how they work. Nowadays you can look on sites like Instructables or even RUclips to learn the basic principles of soldering and electronic work. Get some older electronics and practice soldering before trying a big project. It takes awhile to get the hang of it, but you'll never forget once you learn. :)
helpful vid. did mine but the solder on the B button kept coming off. so I tried to put it to the other pins right by the B button. but the pin ripped off when I was checking it was gonna hold. Now no B button anywhere. is there anything I can do to get it back?
same but i fixed it
Arslan Afzal tell them how
I tried this last night. A paddle and B paddle worked for about 5 minutes, then stopped. Also, my right joystick doesn't let me move left or right in the game. Any ideas?
Check to make sure nothing is touching the back of the thumbstick and that the controller case isn't super tight. As far as your buttons are concerned, the solder most likely broke from the carbon pads or possibly even the tact switches.
Hi man I’ve just bought a kit off the internet to do something similar how would you remap different buttons to the back of the controller? So for example I don’t want a or b at the back I want LB RB
LB and RB have physical buttons near the middle of the motherboard. Each of those buttons will have two contacts, you need to run a wire from one of those contacts to the button on the back of the controller. Run your other cable to the ground I use in the video.
@@XtaCEwok honestly don't know what i'm doing if i'm honest bud, always been really good with electronics and done a bit of solder work but i have no idea what the actual terms of anything mean, afterall i'm not a qualified electrician, Don't know about ground and such info. I'll probs not use the kit when i get it. Just seems too much hastle. Since ordering the kit i've been bored of xbox recently anyway
when you are screwing the triggers back in do you place the screws in the holes you drilled in them?
Nevermind i found out... Thanks for the tutorial man so helpful, i subbed and keep making these DIY's
Glad you got it, thanks for your support and the kind words.
Hi,
I followed your instruction and everythink works ( the normal buttons and the scuf button) but now my trigger dont work anymore .. i dont know why they won't work but its not that well... now tjey wont work with the scuf mod or without...
I have no xbox one i tried it on the pc but everytime i connect it there is an error.... is my only problem my pc (the error) or could i have done something wrong.
The controller worked perfectly fine before i opened it (there was no error when i connected it to the pc )
Make sure you did not drop a screw and it stuck to the triggered because that can cause problems and in some cases short circuit the board
Hi there. I've done everything like on your video but my A button would not work. I though i soldered it wrong or i didn't scratch the carbon properly but I've done it on my second controller and same thing happened. Also in the first controller my main A button stopped working, which sucks :D you have any idea why the A button might not work? I i used 105T Tactile Switch with 4 pins
You should make sur u bend the pins so they touch eachother, otherwise you aren't making a good connection. I have seen this problem countless of times; just bend them so they touch eachother
Thx for ur rply. Ive done it correctly now. You are right it started working when I touched the pins together.
Can you do this with a sloder gun?
thanks for the help just rigged mine up
How is this diy scuf controller holding up? Any problems or smooth sailing?
This is a pretty good video I own a controller company and this is kind of what I do but I also have a chip that I use to remap
