Requirements:

A TT9 Torx Driver (TT8 may fit better, I only had a TT9)
A Small Push Button Switch
Some Thin Wire, Such as IDE Cable
An Xbox 360 Controller (Wired or Wireless, it works the same)
Soldering Equipment
A Drill and Drill bit (To match the diameter of the thread on your switch)
Some form of surface to work on.

STEP.2
Taking the battery out unlocks a BONUS SCREW !
There are 7 screws to remove, so grab that Torx driver and twist! (Anti -Clock-wise)
With the buttons facing DOWN , separate the two halves carefully, paying attention to the motors.

STEP.3
Find the best place to put your switch, choose very carefully, as once you've drilled, its staying on your $50 Controller!
Once you have found the right place, place the two halves back together and see if there is enough room for your switch to go in.
If there is, well done. Remove the board so that it doesn't get damaged, then put the bit in your drill and ~~deface~~ improve $50 worth of electronics.

step 4:
Put the switch in your new hole. Make sure that you orient the pins so that they are not getting bent or squashed when the controller is back together. I had to remove some of the motor holder to fit my switch in.

Step.5
Fire up the soldering iron, not too hot or else it might break some components.
Point one and two are in pictures 2 and 3 respectively.
An final overview is in picture 4.
5 and 6 show the switch.
7 shows what happens when your iron is too hot and you take too long to make a joint.
Make sure wiring runs stay clear of the black button pads, analogue stick movement and screw holes.

Step.6
Are the switch pins going to make contact with anything on the other half of the controller when reassembled?
Are all of the wires free from places of movement or screw holes?
Are the solder joints correct and not dry?
Are all of the annoying black pieces of the controller back on their positioning pins?
(they are annoying as they have a habit of coming off the pins half way through putting it back together)
Has your soldering iron made suitably sized black marks on your window ledge?
Four out of five is good enough to continue.
For a quick test, replace the battery and depress your switch all the way. If the player one led lights up very dimly, then the mod worked!
Now try putting it back together without breaking anything.

Step.7
If you are having trouble putting it all back together, try wigging it while applying gentle force, and make sure all wires and button rubbers are not obstructing anything.

I understand what you mean but many people like the idea of making (modding) it them self.
