Upgrade your PS4 controller to USB Type C!

This product has reached EOL. If you need models that are out of stock, head over to the github repository and use the gerbers to manufacture your own boards. Hate MicroUSB as much as I do? This litt…

Note: 001 has been consistently rough. If you really need it, reach out to us and we can work to get the correct schematic.

FAQ:

Yes. It charges and works over a C to C Cable.
No. There's no way to tell what USB Breakout board your controller has without opening it. Blame Sony, not me.
We used to sell kits, now we only sell pre-assembled boards due to low order volume for kits.

Excellent Experience

These guys are the best! They went out of their way to help me with a part I need. I can now buy with confidence. Thanks so much.

Works as intended but has design and documentation issuues

Product:
1. Removing the screw hole present on the original USB board from the design affected me more than I thought it would when purchasing and I believe it was a mistake for them to not have one as it was a bit difficult to keep it in place once I filed down the base.
2. The locking mechanism for the ribbon cable came of as soon as I touched it making it harder to put back the controller without it coming out from the USB board.
3. The board works properly with my controller.

Documentation:
The video tutorial was missing a proper demonstration of how to file down the base.

Bad design - covers the screw hole

This board covers the screw hole, so you have to resort to using glue to keep the port secured. It's not as solid as it would have been with a screw, and I also got glue on my ribbon connector, so the connection is a bit flimsy.

Without a hitch

I'm not a super genius when it comes to small electronics. But I am a person that likes DIY and this little board made it possible.

Seems to work

The swap seems to work, but as the other review says the replacement boards might not be able to get screwed in. They seem to hold fine after putting it all together!

On both boards I got the little plastic lever for the ribbon cable broke off. I also had one without an LED on it and the other with an LED that initially worked, but is no longer.

Work as intended

Shipped 2022/04/16, delivered 2022/04/25 in France.
Work great and modding was easy. My 3 controllers are fonctionnals for the time being.

My only complaint is that it is not possible to us the screw to hold the pcb in place. I used hot glue.

Works Great!

Works great, and when I had a question I was able to get a quick reply. If i get another controller I will most definitely buy another one of these.
