I finally finished soldering and installing the retrocultmod for my guitar hero controller to install mechnical switches and a new pcb. Unfortunately when I plugged it into my computer it didnt worked cause something was shorting the circuit. I emailed the guy I brought the mod from and he pointed me in the right direction and I was able to clean up the wires and get it all working. Its so good to finally be playing clone hero with almost no latency. Before I was using the wireless ps3 controller which had terrible input lag and dropped inputs all the time.

Oh wow, is something like that difficult to do?

If you can solder its pretty easy. You buy the kit and open up the guitar and replace the insides.

But I hadn't soldered before and instead of ordering the kit that requires minimal soldering I ended up getting the one that requires the most soldering. At least it was good practice. I feel comfortable soldering but I'm still dogshit at doing anything with stripping wires.

I've never really been one for Guitar Hero but hearing about this makes me want to have a go. Is this kit for nicer feeling buttons?

[–] Fizz 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah it changes the buttons from membrane to mechanical switches. It also changes the guitar from a wireless guitar using a shitty ps3 dongle to USB guitar that can be configured to use xinput or ps3, will,ps2,Xbox whatever you need it to be.

Can I assume you're a champion at Clonehero? You seem pretty dedicated, like on the level of racing sim fans having a room setup with a whole kit for realism.
