got myself the purple shell aswell, altho i had to order the top and bottom piece standalone cause amazon only had them seperate :3 but now its purple transparent, with white accents :D
I didnt use glue again but it's better if you get it off with the glue. Using a blow dryer or heat gun will really help. With enough heat applied you can get under the touchpad board and slowly start to pry it up. If enough heat is applied the board with lift up along with the glue
When you use a heat gun or blow dryer, the glow on touchpad board will loosen up. Some times when you're taking out the board it'll either be stuck on the board or the touchpad. You can use a plastic tool to scrape it off carefully from the board. Luckily most of the glue was stuck on the toucpad for this one.
Hey man. I love your videos. They helped me install all my xtremerate mods. It was a process lol. I installed the back paddles, L.E.D's, clicky triggers and new front plate and touch pad. But I have an issue, Which I have no idea how it happened or how to fix it. The new touch pad is loose and wiggles around.... If anyone can let me know how to fix this and what I did wrong that would be so amazing and greatly appreciated. I am wondering if it has something to do with the fact that on the original back plate. There is a rectangular piece of foam in the middle of it. Because I re watched the videos involving the touch pad and I followed the instructions to the letter.

Hey I followed the instructions and now my PS5 doesn’t recognize the controller as a PS5 controller so I can’t play PS5 games. Also the R2 no longer works. Would you happen to have any idea what could be causing this?
Tienes que conseguir el kit compatible con tu control. Puede abrir el control o consultar los detalles de extremerate para comprobar la compatibilidad.
hows the functionality after you've changed it? As in does L2/R2 still shake in Astros Playroom, does the touch pad still read touches without the glue, Did the stick develop a dead zone given that they're different now, does the microphone still work after you unplugged and plugged the ribbon cable back in? Im cautious because PS5 controllers are up $10+ from the PS4 controllers
Alright I tested it! Here are answers. I ended uo changing everything to a different controller cause apparently someone had returned this one to Best Buy and my friend was given this used control that had bad drift. So after installing it on a fully working controller here are the results. #1: L2 & R2 still shake. It's just about knowing how to disassemble and assemble the triggers. #2: I can press on the touchpad BUT when I try to drag my finger on it, in Astros Controller Demo, the finger drag didn't register at all. (Will investigate if it because it doesn't have the glue). Pressing the touchpad does work though. #3: No dead zone developed from changing the thumbsticks sticks. #4: Mic still works after reconnecting
Update: I replaced the touchpad with another one. Doesn't have the glue as well. It's working with the finger drag. Just tried it with the message scrolling. Also tried it on Astro's and it registered on the "Controller Demo". Thanks for bringing this up! I was surprised I didn't notice the scrolling didn't work for the first touchpad board. Wondering why now. Well, it has a working touchpad without the glue though so that's all that matters for now.
@@im.a.caveman yeah every PS4 controller I've taken apart (about 3 now) to clean, something goes bad or doesn't work anymore. I've learned my lesson. The PS5 controllers are even more money to run the risk of damaging parts
@@haromanuel I understand. If you're careful nothing will happen. But you're right, it's risky especially with how expensive alot things are these days. Thanks for stopping by and hopefully one day you do decide to customize. Personally, for me it's nice to have a controller that I worked on. Maybe I didn't create that parts but it's satisfying since I save some money having it done myself.

So far I haven't come across a BDM-020. Those are mainly coming in with the ps5 consoles now. There could end up being more on shelves once BDM-010 is low on stock. I'm going to look into this and I'll update you. It's a very good question. Thanks for bringing it up.
That’s strange that some dualsense thumb sticks are concave both of mine are the normal one. White and black controller whoever opened the controller changed them I assume
Yeah, like I showed in the video, I slowly started to realize that someone opened it and messed around with the inside. Which is horrible because my buddy used his warranty at Best Buy to trade the controller for a new one and when he gave it to me to customize it, it already seemed suspicious. He never opened opened it himself. Then he told me it was from Best Buy. Really messed up that they would do that.
Nice! I think the only thing I'd change is keeping the analog sticks and triggers OEM.
I was just thinking that, there are more functions to the OEM sticks
bringing back memories with the atomic purple oem N64 controller im glad i ordered one of these for my ps5
Nice and short video, the end result was incredible 👏
Thanks! I want to see the blue one though. Or maybe an orange or yellow. Also wondering if they're gonna release the foggy transparent versions.
Another great video!
Love how the Transparent Atomic Purple shell looks, it’s so pretty 🤩
Keep it up 😁
Thanks! Got more vids coming!
I just finished mine and it feels great. I love the look.
Nice how is it holding up 7 months later
Nice relaxing way to start the day.
Glad you enjoyed it Noah!
What glue do you use for the new TouchPad.
Does the glue on the touch pad stop it from sensing
Oh my god that’s beautiful
got myself the purple shell aswell, altho i had to order the top and bottom piece standalone cause amazon only had them seperate :3 but now its purple transparent, with white accents :D
That sounds neat. Thanks for stopping by!
Question: Did you use glue again? On the touch pad?
I didnt use glue again but it's better if you get it off with the glue.
Using a blow dryer or heat gun will really help. With enough heat applied you can get under the touchpad board and slowly start to pry it up. If enough heat is applied the board with lift up along with the glue
I'd love a green one like this. I'd buy a second hand controller to do this with.
The also have the green transparent shells! That would be a cool looking custom.
How is the fit? Does it feel solid like the original? Any looseness or rattles?
What kinda screw driver is that I recognize it from a kit
Looks like the ifixit kit
Do you not need to re-glue the board to the touchpad? It can just be placed like that?
should have enough adhesive to place it back on the other touch pad.
Hi great video would you mind sharing how you cleaned the glue of the touchpad pcb? What was used to clean it?
When you use a heat gun or blow dryer, the glow on touchpad board will loosen up. Some times when you're taking out the board it'll either be stuck on the board or the touchpad. You can use a plastic tool to scrape it off carefully from the board. Luckily most of the glue was stuck on the toucpad for this one.
looks good..i dont know how to take it apart and put it back together?
Cool video dude.
Thank you!
WYCY Coil Master is the name of the kit where comes that coiler, for anybody who wants to know.

are the thumb sticks fully plastic and have no rubber resistance

Wow you deserve more subs
Hey can you do this to my controller?!?
Gonna mix this with galaxy purple control
That's sounds pretty cool honestly. Curious on how that would turn out.
Can I buy your services?? I do not trust myself with a task like this
I think u forgot the black inserts in L2/R2 buttons.
The ones that slide in? If yes, they provided transparent purple ones for the L2/R2. Most likely so the triggers wouldn't look darker.
@@im.a.caveman oh cool glad the include that piece now
@@roc6d Probably just for the transparent ones.
I can’t see to find the screws under the motherboard do you have any tips?
You probably have a CFI-ZCT1W A / BDM-020. For that one it's just 1 screw on the left and 1 screw on the right. No screws under the motherboard.
That's so fire holy shit 😂
I wonder if this may fix stick drift on the first ps5 controllers
This is only a shell customization. It wouldn't fix drift at all.
@@im.a.caveman sorry I meant switching the joysticks /:

@@im.a.caveman Thank you
Do I need to reglue othe touch pad back on?
I didn't reglue mine. Most of the time I have touchpads taken out with the glue still on it.
Buttons always feel terrible
So have you no tape between the touchpad and the board?
That one doesn't since most of it stayed stuck on the other motherboard.
@@im.a.caveman And the touchpad works?
Damn I must be the only person that can’t get their motherboard for the touchpad off
Will these work with the new PS5 controller models like the black n red? From my understanding the motherboards are different??
Did you open it already? because I don’t think it has a different motherboard
@@baums.-.2750 sorry might have misunderstood could be different notches in the plastic or something have you tried these with the newer models?

Yeah someone swapped them. Im pretty sure those are Xbox thumbsticks
Damn that’s sexy 😳
There's other transparent colors as well. From extremerate, there's transparent red, blue, green, purple, and clear.
thanks for showing us the heating process....
You can use isopropyl alcohol 91% then scrub the glue off either it this takes longer but it’s easy just time consuming
Brother I will pay you to do mine for me 😂... I have the purple shell and all.
Feel free to send me a message on IG

It’s really simple I can knock them out in about 15 minutes now
time consuming, attention to detail
