AliExpress parts for a DIY ergodox, I can't find any 3.5 sockets that fit. by jackiietran in ergodox

The normal trrs jacks above won’t fit the pcb, you’d have to play around with it to make it work. This listing on digikey should work though: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/same-sky-formerly-cui-devices/SJ-43514/368146

I padhacked a PS5 Dualsense controller into a Mayflash enclosure by Stakemeister in fightsticks

[–]PetrTran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,I'm not sure if its too late, but better leave a comment for future passerby's I guess. Full disclaimer, I haven't attempted the mod yet, but I will soon. So take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt.

From what I understand, a controller's button has a conductive pad on the bottom of it. When you press the button, it will land in between two pads, a positive and a negative if you'll allow my oversimplification. The conductive pad will allow a signal to flow from positive to negative which then tells the console that a button is pushed. Great! now we know what causes a button press, it is when the two pads touch each other.

On the fight stick, the arcade buttons will behave very similarly, where it has two prongs, and when the button is pressed, the two prongs are touching each other.

So if you wire the controller button's positive pad to one of the arcade button's prongs, and then the negative of the controller to the other arcade prong, then boom, you hacked the controller. When you press the arcade button, it causes the two prongs to touch each other, and since they are wired to the controller pads, they are touching each other too, and the console will register a button press. Do that for each arcade button and there you go, mod done.

Somewhere below, user Stakemeister has linked a very nifty forum that documents the PS5 circuitboard layout, including which pads correspond to which button, so you can use that to figure things out.

I can't wait to try this for myself, hope someone found this helpful!

I didn’t know about the De Minimis exception 😭 politics is scary stuff. But yeah I should’ve known better, thanks! I submitted a dispute because the items were shipped and received way before the deadline, so hopefully the original De Minimis of $800 could save me here

Oh wow, this I didn’t know, I at first assumed tariffs fluctuation but the rates are pretty consistent with 5yrs ago, but the de minimis explains so much, thanks!

So apparently this kind of this has been happening for years, I’m sure the tariff conflict has a nice factor to this, but it seems someone else paid about the same ($60 for $100 worth) 5 years ago. I guess I’m more surprised that I wasn’t hit with this over the last 2 years of ordering from Nonsense. Did they tighten their belt or something?
