Overview
Pcb phone controller is an open-source printed circuit board by Inertie-Production, from the Inertie-Production/Phone-Controller repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-3.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 112.1 × 52.2 mm with 43 parts on 44 nets, routed with 483 tracks and 77 vias.
It is built around the SS49E and BAT54C. Its parts include 8 diodes, 6 resistors, 1 capacitor, 1 IC and 1 switch.
Main components

README.mdPhone Controller
This is a phone controller design inspired by the Nintendo 3DS. We created this controller because we wanted to make a cheap and pocketable phone controller while learning a lot of new stuff in the process! You can view and download the 3D model on our Onshape.
On this github, you will find the pcb source files & gerbers, the code that needs to be loaded on the controller and a BOM.
Once built, to use this controller, you can just clamp your phone on it, turn the power on with the switch and connect to it via bluetooth. Despite being very thin, this controller includes all the features of a full-size controller :
- 11 buttons with silent mechanical switches
- A D-pad
- 2 dual-axis joysticks
- 2 analog Hall effect triggers or 2 mechanical switches triggers The 4 buttons on the back of the controller are the sticks buttons and the bumpers.

Questions
How big is the Pcb phone controller PCB?
It measures 112.1 × 52.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pcb phone controller use?
43 parts, built around the SS49E and BAT54C. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Pcb phone controller KiCad files?
From the Inertie-Production/Phone-Controller repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/pcb_phone_controller/pcb_phone_controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/pcb_phone_controller/pcb_phone_controller.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pcb phone controller design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
