Reply to NES Controller

Hey Guys,

Last week a friend and I found an old broken Nintendo Entertainment System when inspiration struck. We decided to build a controller out of this old NES. Basically we decided we wanted a few knobs and a bunch of buttons to control ableton. After hours of looking through PCB specs we decided to use a Nanokontrol. We gutted the NES and now I am in the process of looking for a cheap Nanokontrol. Firstly, I wanted to know if anyone has had experience with gutting a Nanokontrol and secondly if anyone had better ideas for a PCB. Thanks DJTT, you guys are great!
