eXtremeRateTextured Black Real Metal Buttons (RMB) Version Rise 2.0 Remap Kit for PS5 Controller BDM 010 020, Upgrade Board & Redesigned Back Shell & Programable Back Buttons Set for PS5 Controller

So what do you get?A small brown cardboard box with black print telling you it's a RISE remapping kit.Inside the box are multiple plastic bags containg:-New backplate (with textured rubber grips in my case)Plastic back buttons + case partsSeveral printed circuit ribbonsScrews, pins, screwdriver + tool to help dismantle controller caseSmall circuit board and a very fine insulated wireWarranty card and warning sheet (NOT INSTRUCTIONS see below)OK this kit can fit 2 different variants of the dualsense controller. The warning sheet tells you how to cut the ribbon connectors once you've identified which one you have.Installation instructions are provided via a youtube video which is very good and easy to follow. I found the installation relatively straightforward but I've built my own PCs for years and have taken stuff apart since I was a kid (sometimes it still worked afterwards). For those who have never done anything like this before it maybe a little daunting but it's easier than you think. If you don't follow the video and try it "blind" so to speak....it won't end well.I completed the installation in about an hour, I took my time and did the FULL install. Let me explain, a limited install means you can map all buttons except the touchpad, R3 and L3 (joystick clicks) this is the easiest install.If you want to be able to map all buttons R1, R2, R3, L1, L2, L3, touch pad, D pad, triangle, circle, square and X then you'll need to do a little soldering. It's nothing major (4 small solders) but something to keep in mind.At the end of the installation video it runs through how to put the RISE into setting mode, how to map the buttons , how to leave settings mode, how to cancel a remapped back button and how to cancel all remapped buttons.In use it works flawlessly, I have seen reviews that have complained that the buttons are too fragile and break easily but I think the kit comes with a new version that are more robust (you can also order replacement buttons and metal buttons are available). I don't find them overly sensitive but that's a subjective thing.The only bad thing I encountered was when I initially opened the box the bag containing the screws and pins had split and they were rattling around inside. On the plus side they supply so many spare screws and pins it made no difference but not a great first impression when you open the box.So in closing this might not seem cheap for a kit that means you have to take apart your controller (possibly screwing it up) and do all the work. It's not a simple "clip it on and away you go" deal. What you get (if you do it right) is remappable back buttons that are a damn sight cheaper than one of the 3rd party modded controllers like SCUFF.All in all it's good value for a gamer.

As i said dont be afraid these guys are awsome il be recommending to everyone Honestly 10/10 its flawless better than the back button attachment i had on my ps4 the paddles fit amazing in the hand the rubber texture is really nice feels well made they work perfectly i was sceptical more to my ability to install than the product itself i was sweating buckets which made pulling out the ribbions hard as hell do there innthe end dry ur fingers with paperroll if ur anything like medoing it it was like guy defusing a bomb haha that being said it all went smoothly bit fidly at times came out amazing the moment i clicked the paddle and my chscter on the screen moved i was dancing round the room thanks guys for an amazing product oh also the customer support has been amazing il update as i use them

The pad works just as i'd expect it to. There is no lag time between button press and action and is 'simple' enough to put together, as long as you have time and patience.Id say it took me around 45 minutes to an hour to complete the install from start to finish. I'm no expert, but i would suggest that setup is for someone with a techy mindset.My first attempt failed and thought I'd had wrote off my controller but the issue was the battery pin not being re-attached correctly. If you get orange lights flashing, this will be your reason.It looks and feels great, but the biggest issue i have with it is that the button on the back is loose. it will never fall out but it rattles and is always going to rattle as there is no way of firmly putting the button in place. This is the button you hold down when syncing.Overall I'm happy. But would i pay the money again for another controller? depends how badly i need it. i actually don't use it as much as i thought i would but if it was maybe £10 less expensive, it could sway me to buy another for a second controller. The fact its metal and not plastic is a huge win. it will not break, therefore already a no brainer compared to the first version.

Great quality back buttons with good quality circuits.I have two of the original kits on my other controllers and they work brilliant. Im not aggressive with my controllers so the back buttons have lasted well. I have backup buttons just in case they break lol.The V2 kit with the rubber grips is an amazing addition and i cant wait to start using it. Straight forward installation like the V1 kits. Works as it should do with no issues.Great buy and would certainly reccomend.

Install took a lot longer thanks to me missing something that wasn't optional. I did not solder anything.The case itself is noticeably thinner than the Dualsense. If I had come straight from the PS4 controller I wouldn't have noticed, but after gaming for an hour or so, I noticed that it feels slimmer and so your hand grips it differently. Not sure if grip pads would help.The buttons themselves are very nice and clicky. Good weight to them. They do feel a little loose, but when you push them up to the clicking point, it's very tactile. So there's a tiny bit of movement before you're clicking them.Definitely recommended!Update: after a few months of usage, still loving these. Whenever I use my normal Dualsense I do miss that being a bit thicker and the texture on the back is better than this smooth surface. That would be my only improvement, add a bit of thickness and texture to the back.
