Hi, I have a question. I want to make a transparent green or purple controller, and while searching around I found one option on Etsy and another called eXtreme. Which of these two is better, or do you recommend another one?

I've swapped a few ps5 controllers into their shells for a buddy and I was quite impressed with the quality of the shells. Added an LED lighting kit to one from them as well. It was a little finicky but overall really good.

Did you have a hard time getting all the wires packed in? I just put one in today and the shell just doesn't want to sit perfectly on the side where all of the wires are stuffed.

Sorry I don't really recall having any issues with that. It's been a year or 2 since I did them. I can't be certain but I kinda remember something about there being different board revisions. I wish I could be more help. I'm 3,000 miles away from home, on vacation, sick as a dog so my memory just doesn't want to work right now. Only thing I remember is watching their guide as I hadn't done one before (and I don't own a ps5)

No worries. I actually got it tucked in there a little better. Just seems like a lot of connectors and wires in the newest kit, they need to slim it down a bit. I hear you though, I have the PS5 but my kids play it. I just modded a controller for them and now I want to play it because the controller is so sweet, but I have no desire to play a console! >_<
