Anyone got an old SNES controller IC lying around?

[pLover]

I need one. I'd much prefer it if someone had an IC they had taken out of a controller a while ago and never used it, but I'd accept it if someone just took it out now. Whatever it is, I'd like a SNES controller IC. PM me about it or reply in the thread.

 

[pLover]

Can someone move this to The Junkyard, please?

I have a controller that is missing the "X" button but otherwise fine.

You can have whole thing and then not use claky clack tact switches!

Wut u gimmy?

 

[pLover]

Is it first-party? Also, Is the button missing, or the whole connection?

 

[epicelite]

First party, just the plastic part is missing.

 

[pLover]

Alright, if you want to take the IC off and send it to me, I'd be willing to pay $5 shipped.

 

[epicelite]

Why not the whole thing, you can use the PCB and just cut it in half and u wont have to use tact switches!

 

[pLover]

Because I want to use tact switches. Can you please just send me the IC?

 

[epicelite]

What if I cut/rewire the controller for you?

I HATE TACT SWITCH BUTTONS FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!

DO YOU LIKE IT WHEN I SAY CLACK!!!1!! CLACK!!!1!! CLACK!!!1!! CLACK!!!1!! CLACK!!!1!! CLACK!!!1!! CLACK!!!1!! CLACK!!!1!!

That is what tact switch buttons are like.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

(Are u even useing an original super Nintendo? )

 

[pLover]

I'm using a SNES Mini and rubber tact switches, because I also hate the clicks and the clacks and the clicks and — I'm gunna shut the Heck up now because I sound like Bill Cosby.

I personally prefer the clicks and clacks of a tact switch. Seems better to me for some reason.

But since most prefer the squishies I always put squishies in my portables.

 

[Mako321]

I agree.

 

[pLover]

I like them when the portable's buttons have the stability of say a GBASP's, or a DSi's, but the Super Nintendo buttons aren't really made for that, and I'm using original buttons. (besides L&R, I'm still trying to decide if I want tact or normal)

 

[epicelite]

Rubber tact switches?

Neat where can I haz get some?

Srsly tho I don't have any desoldering braid to pull the chip off properly.

I could send just the PCB in a bubble mailer?

Anyone want the rest of the controller, just missing "X" button!

 

[pLover]

I don't have the right thing to desolder it either! Just a normal soldering iron and desoldering iron. That's why I was asking for you to do it.

So sure, send me the piece of the PCB with the IC. I can get it off. ...maybe.

So, since I'll have to desolder it, does $1 + shipping sound good? Or is that a little low?

 

[epicelite]

Eh well, yeah.
That is hardly even worth getting off my butt to go to post office.

 

[pLover]

Yeah, I tried desoldering one off my own, and I can't do it. So...

I guess the deal's off, then.

 

[themadhacker]

is it that hard to just heat the pins and pry them off with a knife?

 

[hailrazer]

You can put it in an oven for a few minutes at like 300 degrees and the parts will fall off
