Why call them modded controllers? They're turbo controllers. Mod implies a custom job. You can buy turbo controllers at Gamestop, Amazon, Walmart, etc. They're not exactly DIY marvels. They're an item that available just about anywhere that's existed at least since Nintendo was releasing their own back on the NES. |

Even if you buy them at 'official stores', they're still modded controllers in every sense of the word. However CCP is, afaics, aiming at making OP controllers (e.g. KB/M, rapid-fire, etc) work on the same level as standard controllers through limiting how quickly the clone can turn, fire, etc in-game.
Modded controllers in every sense of the word? They came off a manufacturing line. They're stock. In some cases they're even first party and licensed. |

So MS and Sony sent their controllers out to be modded and sold?
The point is that they weren't modded. They're turbo controllers by design. That's why modded is a silly term to use.
You can get a turbo function two ways:
A) Some company manufacturers a turbo controller for that purpose. The controllers are designed that way from the get-go. In the case of some, like even the early NES Max or NES Advantage - they're first party controllers. Calling these modded is misleading. Non-first party licensed manufacturers like Hori also make turbo controllers, and they're not modified Dualshocks.
B) Someone modifies an existing controller to make a custom-modded controller. You find sites for this if you search for "Modded controller". If you look at these sites, you'll note they're typically taking a stock controller (like the Dual Shock 3) and "modifying" it. They did not make the controllers from scratch, and they are most certainly not licensed to do so. You can get various functions by modifying a controller, but turbo is the only one that people care about here.
So, both A & B are turbo controllers, but only one of them is a "modded" controller.
So, call them turbo controllers. They don't have to be modded to have turbo. |
