If there's one thing I hate, it's a worn, used controller. It feels like a dead fish in my hands.
My original system was a US Turbo Duo bought new from TZD not that long ago. The pad still felt new and crisp when I sold it. I just today finally got a Duo R, and it came with the normal white Duo pad and a PC Engine shuttle controller. The Duo pad is just gone, it works but it's hard to hit diagonals, and the buttons barely move when you press them. The shuttle controller is a bit better, but still a tad worn.
My question is this, is there a good way to go about making the pads feel like new again? I was thinking two things- if I can gut another system's controllers and swipe the button contact pads (you know, the rubber piece that the button actually presses) and make it fit it would feel better. Either that, or I could just order a new Turbopad from TZD and swap out the internal components to the white Duo pad.
Of course, I could just replace the cable in the Turbopad, but the yellow and orange of the TG16 controller is a total cock block to the sensuality of the beautiful Duo R.
