Next up, out come the guts: button sensors, motherboard, haptic drivers, and adaptive triggers, all mounted to a black midframe.

Both adaptive trigger assemblies connect with cables, but the haptic drivers, USB-C port, and joysticks are all held down by soldered connections.

On the backside lives the main circuit board. And where there's a circuit board, there are chips:

SIE CXD9006GG — Likely a custom Sony chip doing all the grunt work

Dialog DA9087 PMIC

Realtek ALC5524 audio codec

Nuvoton NAU8225 3.0 W Class-D Audio Amplifier
