Is there ANY way to add USB ports without taking away a controller port? thx

sure, just solder the wires on top of the controller ones. i did it on my freinds xbox -> pc case, he had some usb ports so i just soldered the wires of the usb into the controller ports. both of them work (at the same time if you want, its kinda annoying when you and your freinds start to battle on controller port 1 though)
