It’s not all about the software – Nexus 7 Controller Mount

Sometimes you just want to play with your Nexus 7 and have a little lot of fun. Some clever gamer over at Instructables has figured out how to mount his XBox 360 controller  to his Nexus 7 to play Dead Trigger.

You’ll need:

• Nexus 7 Tablet – $200
• PS3 / Xbox controller – $50

For the Mount

• 1/8″ dia x 48″ Mild Steel Rod -$3 (OR 1/8″ dia x 48″ Copper Rod)
• 48″ of 1/8″ MDPC Expandable Tubing – Comes in packs of 20′ rolls for $7
  This is the stuff that people use to manage cables inside of computers. But you want to have a flexible tube that won’t scratch your device.
• 1/8″ Heat Shrink Tubing – $2
  For some grippy stuff and to clean up the ends.

Tools:

• A big vice
• bending tools
• measuring tape
