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

You need this. Dont waste your money on scuf. they break so much more easily than this. Most durable and usable controller buttons ive used to date.

So I was nervous about trying to do this but figured why not. My Elite Series 2 stopped working properly and everything else is sold out everywhere. So I made my own pro controller. I used Extremerate products for the whole build and couldn’t be happier. I’ve never soldered before so if I could figure it out in one try I’m sure most people can. Plenty of videos on YouTube to show you how to do it. Great product.

PRO: Elite was acting up. Bought a the cheapest solderinf iron on Amazon and this kit. (Just made sure to apply good amount of pressure when soldering through the holes) Got it first try and it’s been a month and they seem to still work. Cheapest Elite Controller. CON: It is a finger print magnet just like the Elite 2, and the I kind of don’t like the position of the K1 & K3 position since I only use K2 & K4 , but a personal problem.

Instructions can be found on YouTube, just search ExtremeRate, only tool you will need is a solder iron and solder. Definitely don’t recommend for beginners, super small solder points but with a little practice with a solder iron and you will definitely be able to do it. Way faster to reprogram the “paddles” than any other controller on the market including the Elite Controllers. Takes less than 5 seconds to reprogram your paddles, just flip a switch on back of the controller to enter program mode.

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

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.

Had trouble at first but works great now…Installer error. The first time I Soldered, all of led’s on the test board lit up, indicating that all solder points were good. After putting it back together and using the controller, my R3 wasn’t mapping. So I took it back apart and retested it, and sure enough R3 and TP 15 we’re not lit up on the test board. So if anything isn’t mapping retest and fix solder points.

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.

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

Love this remap kit it’s affordable and with some basic soldering skills you can have a pretty nice modded controller. It’s definitely helped with my gaming movement being a lot faster once I got used to it.
