The Controller is finally finished! It has taken me all summer to do it, mainly because of classes and the new job... which by the way also helped me build the controller.
Button Mounting and wiring. The mounting was a bit tricky getting all these clamps in while it dried... but I somehow made it work.
Soldering for the SNES controller card, actually quite easy.
I used these screw plates to connect each button so I could disconnect each seperately for potential repair/ maintanence.


I used stencils made on the computer and cut on a machine to get the lettering just right. Turns out that the SNES font is almost identical to Hattenschweller, I think thats how its spelled. Its a standard font italicized. I also made a few stencils for the skateboards I'm making (the ones that say "meret"), and the Lost logo for some potential surfboard airbrushing.
I also stenciled out the circle for the A B X Y buttons, came out pretty clean.
I had originally tried a rubbery brush-on material for the start select, but it stuck too much on the sides when pressed.
You can see the contacts are just springs, and the other side of the contact are metal plates.

Yayyy!
I can't wait to see it!
p.s. I read your comment yesterday, asking me to post a link to your blog, I'll make sure to include it in my next post, which shouldn't be too far off.
I think you'll probably get a lot more views coming from blogs like Kotaku, destructoid, engadget and Gizmodo etc., so make sure to send each of them an email once you've got all the photos up.
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
Dude. that is so Cool
Awesome whats next n64???
haha, ya, I'll let someone else do the 64... keep passing the torch.
Awesome read - http://digg.com/mods/Building_a_Four_Foot_SNES_Controller_That_Works
Cool cool! What are the buttons made out of?
Hmm... so would it be feasible to employ you to make another one? I need to own a gigantic SNES controller!
Besides, it'd be so awesome to just randomly rent a moving van or something to undertake the task of picking up the aforementioned masterpiece and transporting it all the way back to Kansas.
haha, awesome! Some of the sites are starting to post it.
The buttons, as well as almost everything else, is made of mdf.
I would love to build more controllers, but I'm a 4th year engineering student with an internship and not a whole lot of free time. It took me close to 3 months of atleast 3 full days a week planning and building it. For me to break even making it I'd have to charge way more than its worth, sorry guys.
I'll hopefully be able to post a video of me playing the controller soon, maybe tomorow if all goes well.
Gizmodo said I was "Garage-based"... I wish, I live in an apartment w/ no garage, just a small front porch.
Have you thought about taking some large black, flexible tubing to go around the connecting cable so it would be properly sized as well? You could then build the oversized connecter at the end with the regular sized plug sticking out a little bit so that you can connect it.
I actually did debate over doing that, and I still might, but I don't really want a giant cord lying all over the floor. When the controller isn't hooked up the cord is rubber banded and hidden. But thanks for the input!
I would totally buy that.
For a reasonable price.
Holy smokes that's incredible.
Você é meu idolo cara!...

be original man..
yes yes... I have seen that, many times. If you'd actually read the posts I linked his blog on the first one. And his comment is at the top of this page.
Keep up the good work.
NICE! The decal work really finishes the look. Any chance of getting a video of y'all playing star fox up soon?
I wanna see you playing Killer Instinct on it!!!
Quero ver você jogando Killer Intinct com ele!!!
