Reader [HotDog-Cart] is an active member of the benheck forums and recently completed this Playstation 3 boomerang controller (http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?t=26054). The boomerang was originally shown with the Playstation 3 prototype and was severely panned by the press. Josh started with a cheap 3rd party controller that was approximately boomerang shaped. He enlarged the controller body ~20% using bondo. The internals were replaced with gear from an official Sony controller. It was finished with a coat of black paint. It’s definitely a nice build and the new internals mean it probably feels as good as any factory controller.For some the whole boomerang controller wasn't too appealing but still a cool little controller mod
