Looks like a DS4.
But inside, it’s something else entirely.

We kept the shape but completely overhauled the performance. A model redesigned as "the next answer to the DS4."

The familiar feel, with a surprisingly new sense of control.

MERKA.G PS5 Dualsense Custom Controller カスタムコントローラー Smart　Model Smart Trigger クリックトリガーバンパー

Developed by the world-renowned hardware engineer Marius.

The high-performance custom PCB “Marius JDM-5X” is a high-precision mainboard designed exclusively for the DualShock 4 by the globally acclaimed hardware engineer Marius. It minimizes input latency to the extreme, pursuing pure reaction speed and exceptional control precision. As a “competition-focused model,” it has earned strong support from players around the world.MERKA.G provides this JDM-5X through official channels in Japan, ensuring an environment where players can obtain and use it with complete confidence.

REACTA - The board built to keep reacting.

At MERKA.G, we use the JDM-5X as our “REACTA” board. The name combines React + Active, expressing our aim to create a board that continues to react instantly to every input.When integrated into the REBUILD MODEL, the exterior, internal structure, and overall operability are fully optimized for competitive performance. With our uniquely designed front shell, rear grip, and Type-C connector, we achieve a high-level balance of input precision, grip comfort, and response speed.Designed not only for competitive players but for anyone seeking more accurate control, this is MERKA.G’s flagship PS4 custom controller, built with the highest standards.

Disclaimer

This product is a special model provided as part of an experimental development project by Marius. Therefore, you will find it easier to use if you have a basic understanding of the hardware structure and settings.

MERKA.G is an authorized distributor of this product and offers board assembly and additional customization (optional). For the latest information on product usage and troubleshooting, please check the FAQ, which is updated regularly.

*Some issues caused by board-specific behavior or specifications may be outside the scope of support.

Key settings enabled by REACTA

Polling rate adjustment

Response speed can be optimized in the range of 125 to 8000Hz.

Stick Deadzone

Finely adjust the internal and external deadzones to minimize input play.

Stick Curve

Customize input characteristics based on the amount of tilt. You can adjust the "character" of your aim, such as linear or acceleration.

Trigger Deadzone (L2/R2)

In normal mode (non–click trigger), you can adjust the actuation point distance.

Rear Button Mapping

Models with rear buttons allow you to freely assign inputs.

Title

Additional custom options

Click Trigger/Bumper

Greatly shortens the travel distance of R1/R2/L1/L2. With a light, mouse-click-like response, it enables rapid tapping and faster, more precise actions. Ideal for FPS and competitive games where reaction speed is essential.

Rear Button

Allows quick inputs without lifting your fingers, enabling intuitive jumps and action commands. The balanced click feel prevents accidental presses and provides stable control in FPS and action games.

Setup Guide — How to use REACTA properly

When you receive your REACTA controller, please begin by flashing the firmware and recalibrating the sticks. In the current specification, stick settings are tied only to the “connected PC,” so the initial setup and recalibration when switching PCs are essential for proper operation.

This specification is planned to be improved in future updates, but for now, be sure to recalibrate upon arrival and whenever using the controller on a different PC.

1｜Calibration tool

When starting the device for the first time, please perform calibration using the dedicated tool.

Manual

Tool

2｜Recalibration

The REACTA board is dependent on the PC environment in which it is calibrated.
Therefore, be sure to recalibrate immediately after arrival or when connecting to another PC.

*LED and button settings are saved within the board, but stick settings require calibration each time.

3｜Operation check

Please check that all inputs are responding correctly and if you have any issues please contact our FAQ page or support.

About updates

REACTA is scheduled to continue to add new features and improve the game.

Check below for the latest updates and tools.

Renew/Update

We will also post new update information on social media (X/Instagram/LINE) from time to time.

Important Information

The greatest feature of the REACTA board is its native support for 8K polling rate. Because of this, there is no need to use third-party overclocking software. The JDM-5X can be configured through the setup link provided in the FAQ and supports the following onboard settings:

・Remappable rear buttons

・Inner / outer deadzone adjustment

・Customization of stick curve response

As this product uses a custom PCB, the following functions are not supported:

・Console connection ・ Bluetooth connectivity ・ Macro functions ・ Key assignment ・ Vibration motors ・ Touchpad functionality ・ Battery

Do not perform overclocking. REACTA already operates at an optimal 8K polling rate. Attempting additional overclocking may cause instability or even reduce response speed. For the best performance, connect the device directly to the rear USB port of your PC (USB-C to USB-A).
