Hey guys,
So I'm looking for something pretty specific, and I have no idea how to find it. What I'm after is a USB gamepad that is compatible with the PS3, GT5 and a PC. I need it to have remote control-style PCB contact pads so that I can solder directly to the board; from what I've heard that's a feature of cheap pads, so that's good.
It's for a sim cockpit which is why I'm asking here. I want to have extra buttons for a G25 and this seems like a good way to achieve that, though right now it's a hypothetical exercise because I don't have a G25 yet.
Does anyone know if a Leo Bodnar board works with a PS3? I'd be very surprised if they do, but that's pretty much exactly what I'm after.
Edit: Actually, never mind. I've found a guide on how to fit a PS3 controller into a 360 controller's case, and in that guide they explain how you go about wiring different buttons to the main board of the controller itself.

Using this you could add an entire DS3's worth of controls to a G25 cockpit setup, if you wanted, along with a PS button. I'm going to try it at some point, I'll let you guys know what happens.
