I understand, i spent an entire 2 weeks working with this mod and trying to find new way to make it easier for people to install and was somewhat successful only to find out there are quirks once you do get it working without the triggers and bumpers. But rest assured those problems were forwarded to the engineers at XCM and they are working on a fix right now. I have installed this mod on several controllers myself (4 to be exact) and have ruined about 3 others in the process. None of this was paid for by XCM and they aren't even offering to reimburse me for my time or the controllers that were ruined. However i suspected that would be the case but decided to proceed anyhow. I figured any knowledge i could gain and help someone else out with was worth it and they'd be grateful for the help they received. And so far i've been right, but it was very stressful for those couple of weeks. Just grab a beer and kick back and relax. Getting all stressed out will not help the situation and will make it worse. This mod is VERY VERY VERY difficult, but it is doable. Like i said i personally needed to use a microscope, in fact i now have a digital microscope that i probably will not have a use for until my kids are old enough to get into science, but anyhow, it came in extremely handy. In fact it is the first tool i would recommend to anyone attempting this install. I've said it over and over again, no matter how well you think you are seeing the traces, you cannot be 100% sure one is not severed that isn't suppose to be. Please check the photo in the tips section, i posted a pic with the trouble area that is very important. i could not see the T in the trace until i had a microscope, period. And that trace costed me 2 controllers. Obviously i was able to fix them, but what the hell do i need 2 extra controllers on top of the 3 i already have that aren't modded :/ Anyhow i cannot repeat it enough. MICROSCOPE, MICROSCOPE, MICROSCOPE, MICROSCOPE. If you don't have one, GET ONE! (woody from toy story said it best)
