    I got a couple of these recently, but not having any loose prototype controllers, I have no use for them. Now I'm wondering if I should sell them or just throw them away...?

    Failing that

    1-find a Super UFO 3D Zero pad (they do appear on Ebay every so often)
    2-Peel off label on back (use label remover to clean gum off)
    3-Open pad
    4-Unscrew controller board
    5-Remove all the switches including the metal sliders
    6-Screw controller board and pad back up
    7-Tricky bit, get some black electrical tape and cover the new holes on the front
    Optional
    8-Get a some white label tape and stick a small piece on the back

    And now you have a "rare" M2 dev control pad...

    I guessed it would be different but it's funny it does use the exisiting 3DO 8 button pad. Nice to see the internals, what does the other side look like?
