I liked the idea about adding a reset switch to your game controller, and I followed the great tutorial put out by the Xboxmod08 team for modding the internals of the Xbox for this to work. I didn't like the idea of modding a controller with a reset switch and always having to have that controller in port 1. I started to think about a different way of doing this mod, I opened up one of my controllers and started proping around and found that the yellow and black wires went to the memory card ports on the controller as well, at least on the Official Xbox controller I have. I bought a Mad Catz memory card, if you look into the end where the connectors are, you can see 5 contacts and a plastic "key" (circled in red) seperating them, 3 on one side, 2 on the other. The 2 connectors (circled in yellow) are the ones that are needed. Solder a wire to each pad inside the memory card, and connect the other ends, one to each side of a momentary switch. I drilled a hole in the plastic and routed the wires to the outside of the case before soldering the switch and then just wrapped with electrical tape, not the best looking mod, but it works as a reset switch in any controller that you could plug into port 1. There might be other memory cards out there with more room inside of it where a switch might reside, but my local Walmart had only a selection of 1 choose from. And the added bonus is that it still functions as a memory card!

ferrell-

I don't know if you are still offering the switches...but, I was wondering do you have any radio shack part numbers, etc. for the switch?

If not, all I need is a REALLY small push button switch, am I correct? Any help would be appreciated...I'm a newbie when it comes to electronics like this stuff.
