Started watching today and I’ve became a fan rather quickly. I appreciate the authenticity and refreshing commentary. Keep it up and your channel will explode

Thanks mate, your video saved two controllers, have a wonderful day.

#PS4USBC, I have a JDS-55 🎉 thanks for your videos and hilarious takes and truths about Controllers! I’m a basic mod person and mostly cosmetics person myself so this should be fun to do for sure! Keep the great work going Cuda! 👍🏼😊

Thank you, again! Just finished the mod. So long Micro USB cable!

[@xVxEsports]

Damn thanks for putting me on dude. Was thinking about buying a battle beaver but not anymore lol.

[@Babbages]

that is cool as hell I stopped using my ps4 controller on my PC because it was a pain to bust out a micro USB cord and not biggest Bluetooth fan but never really liked my xbox one or ps5 controller as much as it for a lot of games.

[@bobtharealest3723]

thanks this is exactly what i was looking for. i hated having to buy good micro USB cables just for one device. easy install too. just be careful with the ribbon cable. i had 2 different models JDS 30 and 5x and mixed up the ribbon direction and easily stripped one.

[@gilphroy]

Custom USB c boards are sweet

[@optionlV]

Grats on the sponsor! Can't enter giveaway because I have an older model JDS30. Good luck to everyone else. Banger vid btw, look forward to the Dualsense Edge review.

How long did it take to receive in the mail? I just ordered one and my email says if I don't receive it in 45 days to ask for a replacement...Hope it doesn't take that long

Are you ever going to do a review on the Rig Revolution X? I have it and quite enjoy it, surprised I haven’t seen it on your channel.

Been following marius and you for a while now and I'm really happy to see the reach he is starting to have on the controller community. The red variant looks SICK I would love to try my luck in winning one. #PS4USBC, JDS-55.

[@vendoau]

I have been thinking about ordering one of these boards for a while as they look really well made and would be the perfect mod for my controller. #PS4USBC JDS-55.

[@Dauthdart]

FWI the CUH-ZCT2U Model controller uses the JDS-050 board. (Don't confuse this with the CHU model)

[@powershadow175]

Hey vcuda try reviewing a vertux gaming keypad with joystick. I was wondering if you can do review whether what software can work and such. Love the content :)

[@Yuu_Amazawa]

I have bought one from him (btw his support is straight up 10/10) but my dumbass ripped the little clippy part. That was the jds 030 board. Still as i said marius is a nice guy and his videos are really good and i will buy stuff on his site again.

[@kravatapraimuu]

I am late for the giveaway but I will order the thingy from Marius, because I have wanted to do this mod on my DS4 for a while now. Great video!

[@luisv3633]

This isn’t related but if money didn’t dictate a choice what would be better The Scuf Instinct Pro or Victus Gambit

[@pedroribeiro5996]

I was like that pcb looks like the Marius one but red. And i was right 😂, he really does an impecabel job.

[@gian.zagada702]

I will definitely be checking this one out! Sadly, the item is currently sold out right now. And my Dualshock 4 is having problem with the charging port. I was planning on buying a replacement for the port but came across of this video and got interested so.. “Why not?” I have lots of USB-C cables and PS5 controllers and Xbox Series X|S controllers which all uses USB-C

[@geky2575]

Ive been looking for something like this for ages that didn't require me to spend $200 on a custom controller. The PS4 controller fits my hands perfectly but I can't stand the loose cord #PS4USBC my board is JDS-55

[@teeknowstech]

Vcuda? For u I have the elite series 2 controller and the scuf whicn I’m thinking of returning the scuff I like the elite 2 tho but between the hex ultra x controller and the elite which one in your opinion is better ?

[@soniccd9983]

I hate charging this controller. The only micro usb in this house that charges it is broken and i have to leave it sit while it charges so it works. Idk why its so picky with the cables

[@dragonixty1090]

How do I know witch Version my Ps4 Controller is?

[@MarinusMakesStuff]

This is great because the original connector absolutely doesn't work properly. I mean it works, but it feels so flimsy, as if will simply break by looking at it the wrong way :D

[@j25-games96]

#PS4USBC I have a ps4 controller that has the JDS-055 usb board. I enjoy your controller reviews, even tho many of them I would not buy myself mainly due to mainly being a mouse and keyboard player. But seeing your objective and subjective points are always nice

[@craeshamos9644]

Can you take the internals of a PS5 controller and put them into a PS4 controller shell? Im not the hugest fan of the PS5 controller but i loved the PS4 controller? Ik i can use the PS4 controller on my PS5, but ONLY FOR PS4 GAMES. I want the full benefit of a DualSense in the form factor of a DualShock 4 Could you also turn a 360 controller into a PS5 controller that is fully functional?

[@Tom_Nu]

The internals probably dont have the same form factor between models so i doubt it would fit, and if it did the internals wouldnt fit nicely, however, if youre crafty enough im sure someone could made it work; just be very weary since you can damage the internals if you dont know what youre doing

[@USNxEOD]

Anybody else have a link to purchase? First guy is sold out and second guy doesn’t respond lol I need a replacement piece for my controller and can’t find it anywhere

[@WispOwO]

Yep lol same issue all my cables seem to die after a few weeks and im tired so I'm modding my controller

[@dpsadoting]

Good shit on the promotion.

[@HSGG_]

Doesn't feel complete if it doesnt come with a pre cut back shell.. manually cutout shells just look bad..

[@fade2black001]

Man... I bought one of these and they do not work. The damn ribbon cable doesnt even fit into the port on it and the port itself break easily.

[@Lunacy_Phoenix]

Another reliability issue you should wage war against is also related to the ports on controllers. The ports are FAR too exposed and lack support. Every time you put down the controller on a surface, unless you put it down on the edge with the cable facing over the edge the area of the cable right before the connector ends up getting torqued. over time this stress causes damage to the wire breaking the cable. Also it is VERY easy to accidentally damage the port, if you accidentally knock the controller at the connection. there is a pretty easy solution to this issue I first saw on the Scuf Impact. A recessed area for the port with collar section extending out slightly surrounding the connector. This would help reduce stress on the cable AND the USB port, and even if the cable does break the reduction of stress transfer to the USB port means you only replace a cheap cable instead of a band aid repair or buying a new controller.
