Given the tough use a PS controller has to bear, the designers ensured its PCB does not break down or stop functioning any sooner.īut where does this robustness comes from? PS controllers are developed with specialized circuits. The gamers love DualShock-4 for its smooth functioning and high durability.īut what people do not know about this controller was the unique circuit architecture inside this controller that made it durable.ĭespite being an old model, it is still as robust as any new model and it never went off the shelf.Īlmost every PCB is developed for a specific application e.g a PlayStation controller is developed with the sole purpose to control the console.Ī PlayStation controller is no less than a personal computer but it is primarily used for entertainment. It has a two-point touchpad and a built-in headphone jack. The DualShock-4 connects with the console through a micro USB cable.

It is compatible with both PS3 and PS4 which enables the users to upgrade the console without replacing the controller. Sony released the legendary CUH-ZCT1 DualShock-4 wireless PS4 controller in 2013. To understand how the controllers are developed, let’s first understand the interfacing of a standard controller and how it functions. The very first thing that you need to learn about is the PS4 circuit design the components and the overall architecture.Īfter all, It is the design that gives the controller functionality. If you are planning to develop one, let’s take a look at some essential details that you need to know before getting started.

Recently my PS4 controller broke down and I decided to develop a custom controller.ĭespite being a simple PCB, controller development is a process. Developing a PS Controller PCB Circuit Board is both fun and full of challenges.
