That is not how the innards of a European Model DS3 controller are. Wrong guide. Not useful at all
Just because the internals are different and it doesn’t match what you own, it doesn’t mean you need to discredit him…

I know this comment is almost a decade old but its still quite sad that you’re giving this guy flack for not showing the differences between the EUR and USA controller models when they’re basically the exact same and it’s a guide that is completely free.

My DS3’s rumble motor died out after 8 years of use so i went out and came to know that there’re many such motors available on market,so i wanna know exact specifications of the rumble motors (both left and right ones) on Dualshock 3 controller,like Voltage,RPM,Dimensions,weight and so.
Please can you provide me the required info ?
Will my controller still work if I remove the two motors completely?
