eXtremeRateBlack Rubberized Grip Programable RISE4 Remap Kit for ps5 Controller BDM 010 BDM 020, Upgrade Board & Redesigned Back Shell & 4 Back Buttons - Controller NOT Included

I recently installed the eXtremeRate RISE4 Remap Kit on my PS5 controller, and it’s a solid upgrade. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, making the installation process straightforward even if you're not super experienced. They even provide replacement cables in case something goes wrong, which is a nice touch. The black rubberized grips feel great in hand, and the redesigned back shell with the white back buttons adds a cool custom look. If you’re looking to enhance your controller with remappable buttons and better grip, this kit is a great option.

I wasn’t sure what to expect as some similar looking items get mixed reviews. But I was really pleasantly surprised by the build quality and the instructions. It couldn’t have been clearer and so far it’s all working exactly as it should.Glad I didn’t pay the roughly £200 for a pro controller!

Easy enough to install with clear instructions if you’re even a little bit handy with a screwdriver.Game changer when playing FPS games allowing access to the buttons without taking your thumb off the thumb stick.

Update: even better the more you use it. ExtremeRate now sell an adapter for the official charging dock, negating the only real drawback.Original review follows:Easy to install. I taped with electrical tape instead of cutting (because I have different models of dualsense).Care is needed, but if you can stick two lego bricks together and undo a screw then you can do this! (take photos of each step for reference just in case)I did not solder - I only need the plug-in functions.Blue Gripy is grippy and blue. The rubber grips are integrated with the shell, so no peeling edges like the stick-on ones. They don't make my hands smell like rubber either, which is a plus!They feel robust, all the haptics still work. Best value back-button option I've seen.Only negatives are 1 it's easy to press them by accident (especially passing the pad back and forth). You can mitigate by making the triggers stiffer or dampen the action - lots of tips online but I left mine stock and just be more careful. 2 doesn't fit the official dock. I knew this in advance, it's still a shame.

Fraction of the price of the mainstream controllers and does exactly the same job. Essential for hard-core gamers

The media could not be loaded. It doesn't let me set any button It doesn't let me set any key even if it turns button even if it turns onThe red light, does not let me connect the L1/2 buttons because when I insert them then I can no longer turn on the pad. It only works if I put the original L1/2 cables

Works fine, though setting the paddles to a button seemed a little unclear in the official tutorial. Triggers are positioned in such away that is easy to accidentally press if you hold the controller normally, meaning you either have to put up with accidental inputs or change how you hold the controller.

I had originally bought a RISE 4 kit back in June of 2022 for one of my 2 controllers, after using it for about 6/7 months I decided to buy a 2nd kit for my other controller as I have become very used to these and now even playing more casual games I find myself reaching for the back buttons.Although the original kit I had broke, the clips on the back that hold the paddles in place broke and so the paddle stopped being able to swivel and press their button (the 2 inner buttons still worked perfectly fine).I was so happy with them even with them breaking that I thought I would buy a 2nd kit anyway and while looking for the 2nd kit I also noticed that they sell the individual party (even the cables) which makes repairing these a walk in the park and really affordable especially compared to 3rd party controllers and now even the new dualsense edge controller (don't waste your money on the edge controller, get these instead).Although getting a fully re-mappable controller (including the L3/R3 and touchpad) requires some soldering it is a very quick and easy job, you don't need anything other than a cheap soldering iron and some solder (this was my first time soldering anything) and I did it in 2 minutes, very easy and quick, also not needed if you just want the face buttons to be re-mappable, I only did this after ordering the 2nd kit for my second controller as I wanted both to have re-mappable L3/R3 to have less wear on the joysticks.The only thing I wish was different is for the RMB version to come with an all-metal button shell, not just the paddles and buttons but also the bit that attaches everything to the controller shell (the bit that you have to screw on the back that holds the PCB), as this was the thing that broke for me in the first kit.
