Ben Heck - the console modding legend going ‘pro’

Benjamin Heckendorn, or mostly known as Ben Heck, is a legend for his semi-godlike ability to recreate and modify electronic devices. Among those popular devices are the Xbox laptop and the popular reincarnation of Atari 2600. Ben started all with all of these “crazy” ideas from his basement, warming up by modding the Atari 2600 – taking the first gaming console and reviving it back in the form of a handheld console.
As he goes on with his hobby, his professional on modifying has captured a lot of attention and in turn he gets just about any request you could imagine, some of which he goes on to complete just because “it sounded so weird I did it.“ There’s even an Iraq soldier who lost an arm in the war who has asked Ben to build him a one handed gaming controller. Ben goes on to say that while “no offers to throw bundles of money” at him have come he does get some offers and has been gotten the attention of people from Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo and is even working with a peripheral maker to sell a packaged product that came from the previosusly mentioned one handed game controller.
