There is very little difference between each option because the charging time is similar as will be explained, it therefore is really just a matter of what is convenient to you. There’s already so little space in there, and trying to retain the RGB LED (though it’s not needed) would be quite difficult.Method 6 works great but remove the battery completely keeping it wired could be dangerous, just splice pretty much any basic USB cable onto the battery connector and there you go…hardwired PS4 controller without charging issues.
