Ok kids- DONT try this at home. @ 1:40 everyone here in the DJ TT office was CRINGING as this adorable young controllerist started cutting all the wires at once. That’s a major no-no and will cost many hours of tedious backtracking as I am sure his dad soon discovered. Modifying your own arcade button controller is really not that difficult. In fact, as this video clearly demonstrates- even a kid can do it! But…. there are a lot of tricks and techniques we have learned at DJTT HQ that you really need to know before attempting this job yourself. In order to help you perform a perfect mod your first time, Dj TT has created an arcade button DIY kit that contains:
- Comprehensive 30 minute video walking you through each step in detail
- Arcade Button overlay to cover the holes and wrap the VCI
- Pre-soldered lead extensions with the correct diods
- DXF cut guide for your machine shop
On Monday we are going to be posting a 10 minute version of the tutorial video for everyone to use. The full kits will go up for sale on Monday, along with arcade buttons in all different colors so everything you need for the mod can be easily obtained in one place.
