wow, u diy it?

yup, quite fun!

I can only play DJmax 4 beats, so no point doing too many buttons like those professionally made controller pads from Korea. Also those pads are very expensive (>S$300), including shipping.

total cost to make this came up to less than S$100 (the respective buttons, zero-delay pcb, the white carbon fibre vinyl, wires, brooks ps3-to-ps4 adapter). I even toyed with the idea of sacrificing one PS3 dualshock controller and directly solder to the pcb, but is really beyond my limited skills.

doing these projects really very satisfying, learn how to do basic woodcrafting, electrical and vinyl wrapping.
