  • “PlayStation” or “xbox” layout has never been referred to merely the face buttons until now.

    What is meant by “layout” is… Well… The layout. Where the buttons and the sticks are. The PlayStation layout is symmetrical. The xbox layout is lopsided, with the left stick abd the d-pad switched around.

    A lot less talked about is also the Gamecube layout, again not merely referring to the style of face buttons but their physical layout.










  • Yeah, I know that replacing the sticks on a PS controller is a soldering job, but I don’t have a soldering kit.

    It was actually my first idea; get a soldering kit, get some hall effect sticks, repair my DS4 controller. But I don’t actually have a place to put a soldering kit, I have no skill with soldering, and I can’t justify buying a soldering kit just for this one project.


  • I’ve also traveled across Europe with it a few times. I bought my DS4 for use with my laptop (years before I built my own PC) shortly after the PS4 came out. I’ve had that controller for a very long time.

    I considered perhaps replacing the sticks with hall effect ones myself, but I don’t have a soldering kit, and I can’t justify buying a whole soldering kit when I don’t have place for one and intend to only use it once.
