Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial to add a second rumble motor to my Xbox 1 controller? Hell, is it even possible? I've google'd my internet to death with no results.

There's already 2 motors in the original xbox controller.

Same with the type-s controllers, so what exactly is your question?

Ah I forgot to add, that it isn't a Microsoft controller. It's a Pelican controller.

I opened one up one day and noticed it only had one motor. I was looking for a way to add a second. I didn't realize that other Xbox controllers had two motors.

I'm so nub >.<

Anyway, I'm still at square one. :)
Need a guide to add the second.

hmm don't know why you need to add them but if i were to do it i'd use:

-digital multimeter
-old xbox 1 controller (probably one the dog tried to eat)
-dremel
-hot glue gun
-caliper
-white paint maker

I'd open it up, and first measure the voltage from the wires going to the motor while it's working. It should be like 5V or something like that. Then find the voltage of the motor. You don't want to hook it up directly or it migh burn it out. After you find out the voltage figure out if it needs a resistor. I'd probably move the motor to the outside depending where it was at. You're going to want one of the bigger motors from a old xbox controller. Measure the motor with a caliper and make sure it will fit into the controller. If you can get it to fit take the caliper and mark where you're going to put the motor with the white paint maker. The next step would be to dremel it out.

You have to be very careful because dremels work fast. Get it all cleared for the new motor and wash it out. Then hotglue one side of the motor to the controller. Once it cools do a test fit, then run your wires and put it all back together.

pretty simple unless you don't have a clue what i'm talking about, in that case just forget i said anything :-D.

Thank you. The Pelican controllers are only equipped with one motor, on the left "handle."

And don't worry, I know exactly what you are talking about :P
