I ran into this video today looking for something to post and I was like, “Eh, why not? Looks cool.” Now, I’ve heard of modded controllers, but I’ve never seen one like this. This guy has actually removed all the face buttons, including the D-Pad, from an Xbox 360 Controller and has still managed a way to play some Halo 3.

Instead of using the colored buttons to perform your normal reload, jump and melee actions, the modder has placed a couple of extra switches on the back with the same actions. The video is kinda dark, so you can’t really tell how and what kind of buttons he put onto the back of the controller. Nevertheless, a pretty cool idea, but you won’t catch me playing Halo or any other game with this controller. Just looks too confusing for me. Hit the jump for the video.
