Is it possible to show the other board? Was thinking of doing a scuf-style mod to one of these... Thanks

Was asking this because the boards are different to the older controller. I have PCB prints of the old one, but not the new one. Thanks.

Can you point me where to get schematics that you have?

Anybody know where I can get the new style bumpers for this style of controller? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
