Removing Dual Shock?

Is there anything bad about removing the rumble? Can I just take out the wires and be carefree?

I already made my portable, but the controller isn't attached. I really don't want this thing to shake, so any advice?

You should be able to just disconnect it.

I know I probably sound stupid but do you mean just to rip the wire right out of the solder? (I have the controller sitting on my lap right now)

Just desolder the wires that go between the motors and the controller board. (Or cut them as close to the board as possible.)

One option if you like, is to keep the rumble feature but not use the rumble motor - ie connect an LED to the wires you remove the motors from, so you get a light instead of a rumble. Some games help you progress in a game by rumble, so the LED option might be worth considering.

Bacteria, that option sounds great but you're a little late lol.

I have one more problem now, when I was desoldering one of the rumble thing-a-majigs, the other one slipped right out of the solder joint. So now there's just some solder on the controller point. Is it OK to leave it there?

If it's not shorting anything out, it isn't doing any harm.

That's a pretty good idea, bacteria. Thanks, I'll have to remember that.

I don't really understand that. Can someone explain, please? Is it like the LED flashes or something?

The led comes on/flashes whenever a signal for rumble is sent.
