Control your XBOX controller, remotely

Have an original XBOX? Too much time on your hands? That strange, tenuous balance between lazy and way too dedicated? Then you too can build a wireless XBOX controller controller.

Come again?

Well, the buttons on the controller are pushed and manipulated by mechanical arms that are in turn controlled by commands fed in through an attached wireless card. The use? Well, since anything that speaks the UDP protocol can talk to the controller, you can apparently use your PSP or your DS (hurrah) to control your XBOX. In a message to future generations, the creator waxes philosophical:

Why would you want to do this? I have no idea. I have my reasons, maybe you have some too.

There you have it. Another way to spend a lazy/obscenely difficult Sunday afternoon. You’ll have to come up for your own explanation for your perplexed and angry friends who want to know why they can’t just play Halo like usual.
