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

Everything worked as expected. Buttons feel great. Only thing is I’m used to the lower paddles on my Xbox elite 2 controller so these paddles are quite high in comparison. It would be perfect imo if they were more closely placed with those paddles in mind so all the paddle controls stay consistent no matter what controller you use and it would make switching between controls more seamless and less clunky feeling.

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

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.

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.

This is a very reasonably priced mod and it works really well. All of the parts are well made and the youtube guide video is clear and well thought out. Extremerate has excellent customer service. I wouldnt not recommend this as your first soldering attempt, but if you have some experience with soldering, its a great kit

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.

Some of the kit parts are easy to install and the soldiering wasnt to bad but the quality of those lofty fpc2 melted as soon as I touched the soldering iron to it. I had 1 soldier connection that I never could get it to connect. So I just taped it down and put the controller back together and it works great. Hopefully will stay working. And yes I took a couple soldiering courses and got a certificate for a soldering technician so I know how to solder.

This kit turned out great once completed. It probably took me an hour total to get it all put together, and that was partially because I also changed out the buttons and faceplate at the same time, and forgot to put a piece back that required nearly full disassembly again. The kit is well designed. All of the electronic pieces are laid out so they kind of self-align where they need to go. Following the video online, it was a pretty easy job, though some of the solder joints are very small and close together. Take your time and pay attention to the directions and it will work fine. I also ended up taking the advice I saw from another reviewer where I had an LED test board that was falsely telling me one of the joints was bad. If that happens to you, use the board to diagnose which point, and just make sure it has a solid solder joint and then move on. Id have spent a lot more time trying to diagnose something that wasnt bad if I hadnt read that other reviewer with the same problem. Once put together, the kit works great. I love being able to re-map buttons on the fly, though I do wish it had a memory with maybe 2 or 3 profiles to switch between for different games. But I have no complaints for the price and function. Im very impressed with both this kit and the same companys controller shells and could easily see myself buying more of them to customize my other controllers in the future.

The kit works perfect, it has installed alongside with the led kit without problems, the battery consumption is great. For me the upper buttons are a little difficult to press without readjust the hands ingame. The white of the shell is whiter than the blue xbox core controller. There is not textured grip

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.
