Nice mod ffod official Konomi xbox pads

[spriggan72]

1st off I do think the konami pads are actually very good pads as far as soft pads go. What I did was took a sheet of 1 inch plywood (for stability and durability) and cut it into 2 pieces @ 33x39. I used 4 pieces of 8x10 acrylic squares for each pad and used packing tape and secured the acrylic directly to the arrows on the pad. Then I used double sided carpet tape and applied it to the wood. Carefully center the pad over the wood and smooth it out so it's flat and there's no air bubbles. I then used textured floor covering and covered the entire pad and stapled it to the edges of the wood, cut the excess off and went around the outside with black duct tape so it didn't look ghetto. The final result was a VERY stable and accurate pad that didnt move at all. You can also feel the arrows through the floor covering because of the acrylic, the floor covering will also make the pads withstand some serious abuse. I used eye hooks and latches to keep the pads together on the top and bottom edges, so they can be disassembled for storage etc if need be. All the supplies were found at Lowe's and ran me about $58. That was the cost in doing BOTH pads. This pad feels and reacts WAY better than the igitions out of the box, but I have never modded those, anyhoo the result is below.

you can see the acrylic under the floor covering, and the slip proof texture lets ya play in shoes, socks, or barefoot, and it's very comfortable.
