> 24 hourGreat 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.

> 24 hourThis 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

> 24 hourLove 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.

> 24 hourI was really excited to upgrade my controller and I can solder in my sleep. It didn’t even work. Complete waste of money.

> 24 hourEverything 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.

> 24 hourSome 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.

> 24 hourI purchased this after my scuff prestige paddles broke for the 5th time, and I could no longer purchase replacement paddles online. The price seemed like a no brainer as I could do the soldering work, and had old controllers lying around. If you dont know how to solder this isnt for you, but if you do, or are willing to learn, its worth it. As for the installation, it was easy and straight forward. The one complaint I had was that I think there must have been an issue with my test board. When I finished I only had 2 lights come on, however after rechecking multiple times my solder joints were secure, so I said forget it Im testing the controller and put it all together. Low and behold every feature works fine. It was a frustrating point that it had me chasing ghost to try to figure out what the problem was, but the satisfaction of being able to say you did it yourself outweighs any of it. As far as use goes, the controller itself is very slick. It gets slippery when picking up and setting down the controller repeatedly (ie watching YouTube, twitch, etc), however when you are gaming you dont notice any issues. Can always just use a random casual controller when doing casual things. This isnt a big issue however, must nitpicking every possible thing I could think a downside would be. If this was a concern I would say buy the textured one? The buttons feel very clicky and responsive. I love the feel of them. They are much nicer to use then any paddles Ive tested. Ive got pretty big hands, and have no issue with button positioning and being able to use them all without compromise. Another big plus about the feel, which I initially worried might had been a thing, was the fitment. Alot of aftermarket diy kits, as in many fields, have an issue with fitment being seamless. This is just that though. I have no issues with seams or loose pieces. The build quality is top notch as well. All in all a great product that I enjoy using more than my past scuff controller or elites.

> 24 hourThis 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.
