Overview
001-v2 is an open-source printed circuit board by CasualCodersProjects, from the CasualCodersProjects/DS4-Type-C repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 2-layer board of 24.4 × 21.3 mm with 5 parts on 12 nets, routed with 85 tracks and 23 vias.
Its parts include 2 resistors, 2 connectors and 1 diode.

Heads up!
This project has reached EOL. It is no longer under active development. PRs will be merged, but I no longer intend to update boards. Feel free to use all of the info provided here to make modifications to boards like using new parts or LEDs. These are pretty basic though, so this should hopefully hold until the DS4 controller is well discontinued.
Background
Hate microUSB? Looking to decrease cable clutter? This is the PS4 mod for you. This repo aims to host mostly drop-in USB Type C replacement boards for all revisions of PS4 controller. Each board follow the USB Type C legacy standard, allowing C to C charging and data transfer at USB 2.0 speeds. The overall project goal is to keep all possible parts the same between boards, and to make it reasonablly easy for a person of moderate skill to populate these boards. This is an open source project though, so you're free to download KiCad and start making modifications to these boards so that you can more easily populate them.
I used a 0.8mm PCB when I originally made these, and found it worked quite well. Gives a little more room to work inside the controller. Cost will likely depend on which board house you choose to go through.
The Casual Coders Tindie store is now live! Head on over to shop.casualcoders.dev or tindie.com/stores/casualcoders (they're the same thing) if you'd like to purchase PCBs, Kits, or Pre-Assembled boards by one of us!

Universal
The idea here is to create one "panelized" board which contains all above boards (JDS 001, 011, 030, 040, 050, 055). This means that someone could easily acquire a board for all controllers, then populate the one they need.
Work can now begin for this panel.
This is not something I plan to do anymore. If you'd like to do this and submit a PR, feel free and I'll merge it.

The original shape for this board was done here by Martin Refseth. Thxandbye created the schematic and laid the traces on top. ↩ ↩2

According to reddit user u/Mcorgano the pinout is supposedly the same between JDS-040 and JDS-055. The idea for this dual board also comes from the same user.
As of 11/08/2021, the 055 pinout has been confirmed by reddit user u/jrmanpt ↩ ↩2

Questions
How big is the 001-v2 PCB?
It measures 24.4 × 21.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the 001-v2 use?
5 parts. 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 001-v2 KiCad files?
From the CasualCodersProjects/DS4-Type-C repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is 001-v2/001-v2.kicad_pcb and its schematic 001-v2/001-v2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the 001-v2 design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
