New Simple Flex for the JDM-040 DS4 controllers. Because it's seriously easier than looking for all of those tiny vias. See NOTE for JDM-050 and JDM-055 installation.

L2 - L2
2L - Common for L2

R2 - R2
2R - Common for R2

3.2v - Common for R1 and R2, 3.2v
R1 - R1
R2 - R2

DU - D-pad Up
DD - D-pad Down
DL - D-pad Left
DR - D-pad Right
GN - Common for D-pad, Ground

TR - Triangle, /\
CI - Circle, O
CR - Cross, X
SQ - Square, [ ]
GN - Common for buttons, Ground

Remove the PCB and install.

Reinstall PCB and fold over the SFX, then use some double sided tape to hold it in place.

NOTE: The SFX-040 will still work in the JDM-050 and JDM-055 versions, but one of the posts on the battery tray needs to be cut because the SFX covers the hole for it once it's folded over to the back side of the board. It's not a complex modification, and can be done with just a pair of side cutters if that's all you have. If you have the newest SFX-040/050/055 this battery tray modification does not need to be done as that SFX has been slightly redesigned to get around it.

Fantastic news, and great job. Would love to get hold of a batch of these to support us in adapting controllers for otherwise disabled gamers.

Have just sent a private message. Fingers crossed.

Hi, do you know where the soldering points are located on the new PS4 Pro controller board?

RDC · « **Reply #7 on:** November 28, 2016, 02:07:58 PM »

If you mean the Slim controller, the JDM-040 shown in this thread and the one here - https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,43542.0.html

I have not currently traced that one out, as it's more of a pain than just designing and installing the SFX for far easier access to all of the buttons, plus there's no possible damage to be done to the PCB from using the SFX on it.

RDC · « **Reply #9 on:** December 05, 2016, 09:26:39 PM »

You can PM me about them.

RDC, I purchased the JDM-040 for it's sole ability to operate without bluetooth, however I wasn't aware that it hasn't been fully mapped yet. I'm going to send you a PM in regards to purchasing one of these.

Anonamous · « **Reply #11 on:** January 25, 2017, 06:32:50 AM »

Excellent work as always RDC. How does this connect to the board?

Modded Matt · « **Reply #12 on:** January 25, 2017, 10:34:05 AM »

It sandwiches between the board and the ribbon cable connector of the daughter and main board and is not soldered directly to either circuit board.

turnkey · « **Reply #13 on:** May 22, 2017, 10:39:27 PM »

Is this board still available? If so will it work on the JDM-001? Looking for a remap board that has the 2L / 2R mapped.

Modded Matt · « **Reply #14 on:** May 23, 2017, 05:48:35 AM »

You need a chip made for your specific board.

Hi RDC,

Do you still sell these and if so is postage to the U.K. an option?

Cheers

Hi, do you still sell these? I am interested.

wickated · « **Reply #21 on:** June 10, 2021, 06:32:52 AM »

five buck on ali

RDC · « **Reply #22 on:** June 10, 2021, 07:59:46 AM »

The SFX here are not sold on AliExpress, those are made by someone else. Sent you a PM cookie96.

cookie96 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 10, 2021, 08:21:05 AM »

I have checked Ali and ebay, but I could only find ones without 2L and 2R.

RDC · « **Reply #24 on:** June 10, 2021, 08:42:54 AM »

Unless you specifically need those connections, the L2 and R2 can be activated by grounding them. That's not technically how the controller does it, hence why I made these with the 2L and 2R connections, but it does work.

cookie96 · « **Reply #25 on:** June 10, 2021, 08:47:48 AM »

Oh I did not know that, thanks for letting me know!

gohan224 · « **Reply #27 on:** July 02, 2021, 02:26:05 PM »

sorry for my ignorant question but what does this actually do?

RDC · « **Reply #28 on:** July 02, 2021, 02:31:37 PM »

It keeps your soldering iron from wrecking the tiny vias and traces of the controller board when you install duplicate buttons.

Oblituarius · « **Reply #29 on:** May 05, 2022, 12:14:09 AM »

Hey RDC, sorry for necroing the post, but I'm interested in getting this SFX and I thought I would ask if you still had some. I found some similar stuff on Ali, but nowhere as clean as yours.
