The Xbox controller pad contains a USB hub. I had an idea about using it for adding two USB ports for a keyboard and a mouse when running Linux (e.g. GentooX ). This is the starting material, an old USB port from a PC and some USB cabeling.

Solder cables to the USB ports.

Adding a LED for some nice light ;)

Insert the curcuitboard into the upper memmory slot (had to remove the connectionport). Solder cables to the Xpad curcuit board.

Finally reassemble the Xpad

Sweet, eh?
