This controller has a butt load of hours on it and is actually quite sloppy around the sticks. Once tested I soldered the wires to the switches, and reassembled it. My first shot had O shorted out so I had to remove it and resolder it and re-test. Windows 7, type ‘usb con’ and choose ‘Set up a USB game Controller’, plug it into your PC and you can check the bottons. Then before putting soldering the leads to the switches I temp installed it and plugged it in to my PC to test it. You’ll pick up the grounds from the bottom. I had some leads from arduino projects so I used color coded wires. Then carefully scraped my pads and soldered wires to the board in the right spots. Then hot glued them so they’d be reinforced. I used a drill bit just a tad smaller than the switches and actually screwed the switches into the plastic. I’d actually like them higher and will try that on the next mod. I drilled the holes in the bottom shell, using my best guess at location. I’ll drill holes in the bottom and put the switches in (removing the rumble packs). In my world, I’m adding buttons for X and O, so the orange and blue dots are the one’s I’ll scrape the green circuit board cover off and solder too. I had this motherboard and used this picture from somewhere on the web.: Second, locate the pads you need to scrub off the material to solder too. They are only $99 online at Radio Shack right now. Get your stuff in order, these are the buttons I used from Radio Shack: I’m good at it and it still caused me issues. The solder points on this board are fickin small.
GAROU PS4 MACRO BUTTONS HOW TO
You better know how to solder, this is not the time or place to learn. While you’re on Youtube watch a couple vids on doing this mod. Separate the two halves, disconnect the charging connector (allowing you to take the back off the top). 4 Screws (don’t lose them) and a plastic spudge thing and you’re in like flynn.

So if you already have a $60 PS4 controller for roughly $10 for KontrolFreaks (shop around), and $4 for a couple switches, about an hour of your time, you can have a scuf too.įirst, watch a youtube video on how to take your controller apart, I’m not going to explain that here. If you’re like me and savaging parts from other broken controllers you’ll have a replacement screw. They don’t want you to take it apart, so you’ll need to hit that screw with a dremmel and make it a flat screw so you can remove it.

Also, those knuckle heads put a tamper proof screw in your PS4 when they mod it. Tall on the left and super-tall on the right just didn’t work for me. Update While the KontrolFreaks did sort of solve my problem, I eventually ended up opening up the controller and putting a stock stick on the left. They did offer to fix it but that would have been ~2 weeks to get fixed with round trip slow shipping so they can bite me.Įnter KontrolFreaks… I simply put one on the right stick to fix my problem. That’s how I ordered mine and the fine folks at Scuf installed them backwards. You want a taller stick on the right for more aiming range of motion.

Of course they can also install options like taller sticks. A basic scuff which is what this mod gives you is $123.90 and a 7-11 day wait. One thing it does have is remappable buttons, something that this mod doesn’t have. Also the darn thing costs $225, or at least it cost me and that was the cheapest way to get all the options. I know a lot of guys swear by them but I cannot, for the life of me invoke the buttons they put on the back, they are too stiff, even with the paddles. Well, I bought a scuf controller, and for me it sucks. Greatly speeding things up in games like Call of Duty, where there is lots of jumping, or if you use O for your knife button, not having to take your thumb off the stick to knife someone. This essentially allows you to press X, O, Triangle or Square without the need to remove your thumb from the aim stick. First if you don’t know what a Scuf controller is, check out their site: Basically they mod a controller by moving some buttons to the back.
