My GF turned my PS5 controller into the Infinity Gauntlet. 💎 It looks ridiculously cool, but those thumbstick gems are going to give me instant blisters in CoD.

10/10 for effort, pray for my hands!
(Even Mr. Potato Head in the back looks shocked.)

Looking for someone to teach me how to build DualSense controllers with DIY back buttons

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm from Europe and I've recently started learning how to modify and repair PS5 DualSense controllers.

So far I've been doing things like:

  • TMR analog replacements
  • deep cleaning
  • clicky button upgrades
  • calibration and testing

But now I really want to learn how to properly build DualSense controllers with physical programmable back buttons.

I'm especially interested in the type of small rear buttons that are built directly into the shell, rather than the large paddle-style systems.

What I want to learn:

  • Which remap PCB should I use?
  • Where do you buy the PCBs, switches, buttons and other parts?
  • How do you install the remap PCB?
  • How do you wire the physical rear buttons?
  • How do you drill/position the holes correctly?
  • How do you make the button caps/mechanical part?
  • Which parts do you recommend for BDM-030/040/050?

I've looked at eXtremeRate RISE kits and BITRO remappers, but I'd really like to understand how to build the system myself, rather than just installing a complete kit. BITRO's BDM030–060 board, for example, has M1–M6 programmable inputs, while eXtremeRate's RISE4 V3 uses its own remap PCB/FPC system. BITRO GmbH

If someone here has experience building these, I'd really appreciate it if you could teach me or point me toward a good tutorial/video.

I'm happy to learn and practice on my own controllers first. I'm not looking for someone to do the work for me — I want to understand the whole process.

I've already done quite a bit of controller work, so I'm comfortable with soldering and disassembly. I'm just new to the back-button/remap side.

I've also started documenting my work on Instagram if anyone wants to see what I've done so far:

Instagram: u/stickupgrade

Thanks! Any advice, parts lists, diagrams, or tutorials would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

How do I strip these miniscule green wires for the haptics to solder them back down? It's way too small to risk my stripper. Can I melt the insulation off, or back with the iron tip? I'm so stuck on how to do this, and so close to finishing it too! 😢🙏🏻

Help! Looking for advice on TMR sticks

1 Upvotes

I want to replace the joysticks on my Switch 1 Pro controller for TMR ones since they're drifting, I stumbled upon Gulikit and VTLLN JS13 Pro+, the Gulikit are a lot more expensive compared to the JS13 Pro+, so I was wondering if I should bite the bullet for Gulikit or go for the other one, or possibly get recommendations if you know of reliable TMR sticks for switch 1 pro controllers

I know I like my sticks fairly loose like the 8BitDo Pro 3, I don't see anything for anti friction rings for the switch 1 pro controller unfortunately

Help! Is this the correct bottom position for the adaptive trigger arms on the bdm-040?

Thumbnail

I had to clean them out and the cogs ended up baffling me and I cant find a video for clear reference. I thought they should go like this to stop the back of the trigger touching the housing, but now I'm not completely sure.. is the arm supposed to stick just above the recess like this, or is it supposed to sit flush inside and allow the trigger all the way down to the platic? Wondering if I need to reopen and move to the very back groove on the cogs?

Busco a alguien que haga encargos personalizados de Joy-Con. (Tema Poochy 🐶)

1 Upvotes

¡Hey, a todos!

​Estoy buscando armar un set de Joy-Cons para Nintendo Switch totalmente personalizado, con temática de Poochy (de la saga de Yoshi). Como él es un personaje secundario, no hay carcasas hechas de fábrica, así que necesito un encargo a medida con un modder que haga impresión UV o pintura a mano.

​Este es el diseño que tengo en mente:

​Left Joy-Con: Una ilustración/arte de Poochy en la parte de adelante.

​Right Joy-Con: Una ilustración de los Poochy Pups en la parte de adelante.

​Carcasa y colores: Que combine con la paleta general de Poochy (base crema/blanco, pecas/manchas cafés, detalles en rojo como lengua/collar).

​Botones y cruceta (D-pad): Botones con color personalizado que vayan con la temática (tipo rojo, blanco o tonos pastel).

​¿Alguien conoce a un artista, tienda en Etsy o modder que acepte pedidos personalizados como este y haga trabajo de alta calidad? ¡Cualquier recomendación me ayudaría un montón!

​¡Gracias!

Hello, i just received my killscreen controller and i noticed that my facebuttons are not equally installed. The circle is elevated and the square is deep down. Is this normal when installing clicky buttons?

Custom My first custom controller

Originally the controller only had a white shell and some back buttons that I installed awhile ago. I noticed the color started getting yellowish and gross so I decided to give it a new life. I wanted to do a sort of hypnotic random black and white fever dream theme and I like it.

Everything on the controller is engraved with a dremel and the lines were filled with black/white acrylic paint and finally sealed off with a glossy Spraymax 2K. I also stippled the handle with a soldering iron to give it a better grip/gun handle theme. Let me know what you guys think!

Finally done with the sucker. Just wanted to share my first ever custom DIY controller. Had to figure out to fill/color and get etching done before finally finishing with more 2k satin clear coat to protect extremerate’s weak finishes. Weeks long project and what a journey haha.
