There is no need to guess, as I see most tutorials saying, which is silly. The wire you need will either be the solid Green or the solid Orange wire. You should see 8 wires, twisted in pairs of both solid and striped colours (this is what gives ethernet cable it's name: UTP cable, Unshielded Twisted Pair). Keep cutting until you have about 5cm or so of removed plastic. You should see some smaller wires inside, make sure not to cut these! Now we're going to prepare the Ethernet cable, ready to solder in a few steps.įirstly, take an X-acto knife and gentl y cut away some of the outer plastic on the cable. It should fit fine, and the button should not hit the back of controller. Once the glue has cooled, sand off any major protrusions and test-fit it back into the controller. I also applied some to the base and neck of the switch, to make sure it was insulated and steady. To make sure that the button is not put under excess strain from the cable, apply liberal amounts of hot glue to the rear of the battery compartment, stopping the cable from moving.
Place the button in its hole, and if it came with a washer and nut (mine didn't) screw them on now to hold it in place. Now thread the cable through the rear of the battery compartment and out of the hole. The cable may tug on the switch somewhat, so it's crucial that it stays attached. Once cut, strip the cable and solder it to the button, making sure to have a strong connection. I cut mine to be about three metres long, since I'm not that far from my Xbox.

The cable connecting to the lag switch must be cut to a length that allows you to be in whatever location you will be playing and still attached, plus some extra slack. Once the battery compartment is cut and drilled, it's time to add the trigger. but it's not necessary.)Ī SPDT (single-pole, double-throw) 6 volt relay Two watch-battery holders (CR-2032, CR-2025 or CR-2016 recommended.)Ī normally-open push button (I used a button that had both N.O.
