    Not a big deal but you said in the video to set your iron to 420 F but it's actually Celcius. And, it's always a good idea to dab a little flux on your soldering points for better solder adhesion and for the longevity of those weld points. Metal oxidizes with heat and flux makes sure there is no oxidation in the weld.
    Using a wet sponge or a cleaning brass pad to clean the tip of your iron after you solder each point (so you would solder one point, then quickly wipe the tip, then do the next one, then wipe the tip etc.) will also ensure a much better weld for each point and reduce the possible need to go back and re-solder a bad weld.
    The key with soldering electronics is to get in and get out AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE while making sure the solder flows into the junction. Heat can travel up the various leads on a circuit board and overheat chips if you hold an iron down too long on any point that you're soldering.
    Also, it looked like one of your test LEDs didn't light up, I'm curious - did you have to go back in and re-solder any of those points?
    Over-all, a good video ... perhaps too many ads, but a good video none-the-less.
    P.S. - the TSB10off code no longer works on Amazon

    I've been educating myself taking apart these and fixing the analogs do to heavy drifting from playing COD games I'm not a 8hr a day player but anyone that plays these games knows it don't take long to create drifting after a few months of playing just few hours a day on average and so far I've fixed many of my controllers and friends of mine I'm glade they trusted me 😂 but I enjoy watching and learning and working on these controllers they aren't cheap . This is my next challenge and its not hard I've had to do some sod work just pulling some wires off to get to other areas of the controller . This is gonna be a challenge I have a controller ready for this.. I'll be ready for my workshop once I'm successful, save people money on these controllers and if they wanna upgrade than I can provide that..

      @@gamerblondie28twitch58 I've just done this today. Done a bit of soldering over the years, but far from an expert. This wasn't too bad. With a steady hand and a bit of patience it's very do-able. There are a couple of solder points that are quite close together and I actually crossed them at one point so had to be quick to try and break the bridge without melting the new ribbon. Aside from that it's not a bad little project.

      I'm new to all of this but I have done some soldering. Would it be best to add a bead of solder onto the connection points before laying the ribbon board in place. Then it would be just heating through the hole and letting the solder come through. I would think that would be the best connection

  • @dean4696
    @dean4696 4 года назад +3

    cant really recommend the product. I really just wanted something fun to do while I was at home, but If you are looking to save money, look elsewhere. 50ish bucks for the controller, 30-40 for the kit, another 10-20 in shipping, then $40 for a decent soldering iron. At that point, youre almost at elite 2 money. Certainly more expensive than a refurbished Elite one.
    On top of that, it legitimately takes over a month for them to get it to you from china. Plus, its really not that enjoyable of a build. Lastly, I've known heroin addicts that work more reliably.
    If you know what buttons you want to have mapped, just buy some switches and solder them directly to the board.

    • @dean4696
