Interesting. I tore one down recently. It was a gift for my nephew but didn't work out of the box. Well, it did "work", as in, it identified as genuine controller; had all "real stuff" look, but buttons skipped, lagged, or just didn't work.
The insides revealed a mix of genuine components (probably off of scrap?) and an assembly-line quality bodge-work. (I didn't take any pictures, but I still have it -- so I can post some pictures if anyone's interested.)
- stordoff 6y agoI would certainly be interested to see this.
- prashnts 6y agoI posted some pictures and linked it in sibling comment.
- opless 6y agoCertainly would like to see this also; Would be quite good content to let other places know too - hackaday for example.
- prashnts 6y agoI took a few pictures and uploaded them here [1]. I recall that I'd already de-soldered a few components (for the salvage-drawer!) and cleaned the awful flux residues so the my pictures look much cleaner than how it was when I opened it [2]. It still turns on though, so I might end up doing more digging into it. I'd add whatever I find in the repo soon. Hope that this is useful for "reasons"!
