eXtremeRate Textured Green HOPE Programable Remap Kit for Xbox Series X/S Controller, Upgrade Boards & Redesigned Back Shell & Side Rails & Back Buttons for Xbox Core Controller

Muy bueno pero en un principio no funcionaba. Luego de 5 días funciono al 100%

You can get a core elite for $110...

Great kit. It includes everything you need except for a soldering iron. You might want some tweezes or a pair of pliers and some no-clean flux as well. Watch the video on youtube in full, then follow the steps and you will be able to do it. The tricky part is removing and re-attaching the antenna connectors, and making sure the wires are routed properly when putting pieces back together. The didnt include the double sided tape or the black wire-tape that are shown in the video, but they werent required. Works well, the buttons are easy to map. Only thing I wish is that they allowed you to map key combos to a button instead of single keys, but I guess that could be considered cheating? I dont know, but it would be useful.

Performance wise the kit is amazing, the buttons are really responsive, feel tactile and smooth. Never had a problem while playing games like Elden Ring/Bloodborne. But looks wise, this is how the backplate looks after a lil less than a month of use, although I hear this is only a problem with the white parts, it started to yellow very fast which is very sad because I was going for an almost white controller. 3/5 probably a 4.5/5 if I got any other color.

At best, Im a novice at soldering. My experience is limited to very basic wire on wire stuff maybe 4-5 times in my life. I have the cheap Amazon recommended soldering pen kit and a steady hand. This was pretty easy. It took around 2 hours and a couple moments of frustration but when I was done, I had perfect solder beads and solid points. When I tried the tester, every light illuminated flawlessly and when I tested my controller in a gamepad testing program, it worked flawlessly. HOWEVER, WATCH TUTORIALS. If you watch the companys official tutorial, check the comments first. They tell you to use the wrong screws early on and correct it in the comments. If you use these screws for the button brackets, they will push out little bumps of the plastic on the back of the controller when tightened because theyre longer than the screws youre intended to use. Other than that, I recommend using flux or at least flux core solder for a MUCH easier install. My strategy was actually cutting little bits of solder, using tweezers to position them on the circuitry test points and get a nice bead formed, then hold it down with tweezers onto the board TP and solder it to the board. My solder didnt want to bead and separate and instead just beaded up onto the wire instead of coming off onto the solder points on the circuitry. (Probably because I was using a super fine soldering tip). So cutting it with a razor and tweezering the perfect amount of solder onto the points was easier and resulted in perfect solder beads, for me at least. Just dont use too much solder, it truly doesnt take much. All in all, this was incredibly fun to do and in my opinion, totally worth it if youre at least sort of experienced with soldering. I just wish I had pictures from midway through or after soldering because I was very proud of my soldering job.

Overall simple to use. Only issue is with connecting tester for solder points. I recommend screwing in the top plate. The YouTube video just says hold mine would only show 4 working points until I screwed it back in, and the tester showed everything working.

Best kit works really good love using these buttons definitely not cheaply made good material

Awesome kit to add back buttons to your controller, in an Elite-esque controller way, the installation process is not that hard, but requires some specific tools and basic knowledge in soldering, it takes somewhat 1 hour to be done (in my case, it took me 2 hours to complete my controller cause I also added two other ExtremeRate kits, one for interchangeable thumb sticks and one for trigger stops). Definitely if you want a cheaper option than buying an Elite Series 2 controller and you have the tools and knowledge, this is your kit to buy.

As other reviews mention, after installing this kit, several keys do not work. In my case, not even the remapping worked. (Its easy to install, but note I have plenty of experience working with Electronics/Robotics and soldering) But the worst is the support given by the seller. To make the story short, after installing the kit (and then removing it), the controller (Brand new controller that came with my Xbox Series S) stopped working. Of course, installing this voids your warranty, but I still brought the controller and the kit to an authorized Microsoft Repair center for diagnostics, after troubleshooting, the technician found the kit had a Short circuit (They seem to dont do QA to their products), the issue caused the main logic board on the controller to die. The short circuit was between 2 points on different points of the flex board, but they problem was somewhere on the traces.. so it was a manufacturing issue, so this company probably never test their product before shipping After contacting the seller, with diagnostic and the issue found by a certified technician, they turn very hostile, and after requesting to be accountable for their issue, they stop replying. (Also note you can only contact them via Social Media, not even an official email, ticket system or Customer support, they reply to you every 2-3 days). I have already contacted Amazon to conduct an investigation on this seller.

TL;DR - Get it if you know how to solder and want back buttons I installed three kits from extremerate, all for the Xbox Series S controller. These kits were the hope remappable buttons, the flexor trigger stops, and the soft touch controller shell. During my time installing it I had two kids running around the kitchen table that didnt seem to understand I had a hot iron and needed a stable enviroment to solder the more than 20 connection points. After sending them with their grandma to go to the beach, I was able to continue and it didnt really get easier. That said I have soldered much worse, namily a trace line on an OG Xbox board, but this was up there as all the points on the board didnt line up perfectly. This could have been mitigated by using some tape, but Im lazy. Thank you to extremerate for including a test board that allowed me to see the missing connection point that I seemed to have overlooked. I would have been pretty annoyed with myself if I got everything together and had to find out by myself if everything worked as intended. Once I got the controller together it worked great. The buttons have a nice tactile feedback that simulate the clicky feel and sound youd get from a mechanical keyboard. Setting the buttons on the back is fairly easier, though not as easy as something like the Elite or 8bitdo controllers. That said this is a mod and not a full controller, so all is forgiven. All in all, its a great product. I would highly recommend it to those with soldering experience who want to add programmable buttons to a stock controller. They arent as quality as something like the Elite controller, but if you have a stock controller that isnt being used go ahead and throw these on it.
