Watch Me - Geographer - Hry
I just used this video to swap the faceplate on a Series X controller (model 1914). Video was easy to follow but they must have taken that controller apart a hundred times - those grips are HARD to remove. Way harder than the grips on the Xbox One model 1697 controller. My recommendation - work your way along the "underside" seam as shown around the 2:07 mark for a while. If your controller is as stubborn as mine, you'll have to work at it for several minutes. It will keep popping back into place. It will be annoying. But once you get it wedged up enough to be able to get your fingers under it, do so and pry it off like a savage animal. Good luck.
We found some Series X controller's grips are hard to take out. Thanks for sharing your experience, we will pin your comment.
Also you can push the triggers down and insert a pry tool down the gap it creates. That worked for me. You've gotta really yank it tho
@@MultiColouredVagina The side-rails of the XSX controller is smaller than the Xbox One, and that makes them stay extra firm in some way.
Too bad I botched my Series X controller last night trying to change out the buttons and faceplate 😭. Good thing I have a 2nd controller that came with the Series X 😁.
@@BloodySawBlade How's that happen? If the electronic parts of the controller are still good, you can reassemble them!
I did it bro, thank you for the detailed demonstration. Ironically the challenge in my case was aligning the rubber button layout piece lol. Took me a minute
Don’t forget to put the metal bits that connect the batteries back in place while putting the back of the controller back on. I followed the video to a T and I was so relieved when I was finally done, just to try to turn it on and it just didn’t turn on :| my heart dropped so I just started comparing the controller I had just added the new buttons to a controller I already had that I haven’t messed with at all. Luckily I noticed it was just the metal for the batteries to connect and went in and put it back where it went. Now I’m abt to order another one for my second controller :3
Your comment saved my life
Bro this comment was a lifesaver
Thank you so much you have no idea
Where is that
THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!!!
Simple and easy tutorial to follow! Thank you so much. It took maybe an hour at most for me to completely replace the buttons and joysticks following this video. I didn't think I'd be able to do it! It felt like a breeze!
Best video, clean and to the point without any of the unnecessary explanations other people do, thank you
Dude perfect tutorial! 👌 Thank you so much! I was nervous but I followed it exactly , and now my controller looks awesome with your parts!
thank you so much for this! part of my bumper broke off, and wouldn't glue back on properly, so i figured i'd replace all the buttons with a custom set. with no prior experience, following this video step by step, it took me a little over 30 minutes to complete, and everything works!
Does it still work fine? I've heard that these breaks after about 2 weeks of use, at least, the LB and RB do.
@@Matt-ek6bf after replacement they're still fine! and they've seen a few hundred hrs of use over the past months.
This was much easier than I thought! The video was super helpful, the only hard part was taking off the side pieces at the very beginning, I was worried I was going to break them but it turned out fine
Appreciate the tutorial, controller is lookin spiffy with no issues 😎
Just followed this video to chsnge face plate side grips and some buttons. Got to be honest i was panicking when i had it all apart wondering if i would get it back together but the video helped massively, now i have a new neat looking pad!!!
Video is well done, if anything its OVERLY explanative and thats not a bad thing. Made my first tear down a breeze overall. One thing I could think of on re-assembly, is the two metal bars that make the battery connection complete, make sure they slide on the right side of the backplate or it will not assemble properly. I had it throw me off initially.
AND THAN U GET THE SCARE OF UR LIFE BCS THE CONTROLLER DOESNT TURN ON HAHAHA
Thanks for taking the time to do this!
You are most welcome!
GOOD VIDEO especially the green cirle points in video helped me out alot
Thank you, this video made the process very easy.
Awesome in depth video thanks!!
Really thanks for this great tutorial 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks, this worked really well. Been trying to get my controller to look more like an elite, cause I did have an elite but they don't last
You are welcome!
Very easy to install and easy to follow along as you go. I had it done and put back together before I finished the entire video lol! Glad they made this because being a PS guy, i’ve never taken an xbox controller apart before. Thanks again!
Woo - I did it! Took a bit to get those damn screws undone, but got there in the end ^_^
I want to do this but I'm nervous about doing something wrong... I'm just really scared about those 2 black cords and everything in general
If you take your time and don't rush you'll be fine. I'd hate to imagine how many controllers I've taken apart over the years.
Them two wires are normally for something like your antenna or wireless/wifi connection. Just pop them off and gently press them back on, just make sure you line them up
@@CraigsChannel that's the part I'm scared of not knowing how to put them back
@@CraigsChannel Also do you have to use the screws the pack comes with or is the original screws the same size
@@user-xp6gi9ne2z Just use the original screws, you aren't changing anything that needs new screws. They always add screws in their pack in case you need new ones or maybe lose one. When they always send me kits out it had spare screws 👍
I managed to do this and I'm a 24 y o girl with no experience. Go for it just take your time. Took me 3 hours
got my buttons from you guys today and i love them so much, i will definitly buy more from you and recommend you guys
very helpful video, thank you
I've been buying ER's products for a while and never knew they had a youtube chanel!
Then you are really good at DIY bro lol
@@ExtremeRate I always try to do things without instructions first. If I can't figure it out or run into issues I'll research it :)
@@goodcitizen7064 And that's what we always do lol
Missing the x button on my kit. Really glad I pulled apart my controller now
Works perfectly! Finally got to replace my broken LB bumper
Great!
Bro thank it was soo help full
Glad we helped!
*you earned a sub*
Thanks!
You guys should talk people through it. It would be helpful for people that never did it before
The 2 black wires are incredibly difficult to get back on and disconnect VERY easily when you think you finally got them connected. I spent over 40 minutes trying to get them to connect back with no luck. Fortunately they are for Bluetooth and I play with this controller wired to my PC so they're unneeded for me on that controller.
ALSO, I swapped the black backplate from my black controller to my new purple controller that I installed the new buttons and triggers on. When reassembling the back plate to the controller, make sure the two tabs for the batteries make it through the slots on the backplate. I put mine back together only to realize one tab didn't make it through because I bent it. Not a big deal, took the back plate off, straightened it out, and it works fine.
ALSO x2
I was frustrated when I had the controller apart because my right trigger was smashing into the right bumper causing the bumper to stick. I noticed there's a tab within the trigger mechanism that needs to be pushed behind the controller motherboard in order to free up the trigger a bit. After doing this, it was better but the bumper would still occasionally stick. After unscrewing and re screwing in the trigger cover multiple times to no avail, I just decided to put the whole controller back together in hopes that attaching the faceplate and backplates would help shift things around to where they needed to be. That worked for me and I'm stoked with how it looks. A bit upset that I couldn't get the Bluetooth wires to reconnect so I cant use this controller on my Xbox but only my PC with a wire, but I can get past with having 2 controllers.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that struggled with those stupid gold thingies 😂
Do you have the same buttons (with writing) in White for the original Xbox Elite controller?
This was easy to do ! Thanks ! Unfortunately the custom extreme rate controller faceplate I'm using got stripped on a screw when trying to do this mod.
Same for me bro, literally happened rn while I was putting in a magnetic dpad, super disappointing but oh well
is there anyway to have ps4/5 controller thumbsticks on the xbox controllers? i have both of them and they feel very different
The PS4/5 thumbsticks are not fit on the Xbox controller.
@@ExtremeRate what about ps3 one I have 1 broken one but the thymbsticks fell so good
@@alwaysenkeilover No, the PS3 thumbstick is bigger.
@@ExtremeRate can no one say i sanded down the thumb sticks and they worked perfectly
Try it
@ExtremeRate i did this and when i try to turn in my controller it blinks once then turns off. It wont hold a steady light. I use a usb c cable to keep it on but idk whats happening
Please check the metal plate on the battery tray, it MUST be touched with the mainboard of the controller
I gotta say, this is a really great guide. However, the bluetooth wires need a bit more attention. I don't know if Microsoft changed those connections, but they very easily break. I'm going to try and solder them to their contact points. If that doesn't work, I have a broken controller. Nice buttons, though!
i snapped one of the vibration thingys wire luckily i usually turn off vibration
The wires aren't remotely different then again I have experience
@@Hellraiser988 this is old. I am on like my fourth controller since then ahahah
Grabbed one of the Elite controllers on sale last week. We'll see how long this one goes.
I didn’t want to do this because it looked hard but I watched the full vid and I have decided to do this I will reply on how it goes 👍👍
howd it go?
These are nice
Thank you!
i agree
would you guys consider making matching analog sticks for all the different button colours?
They have them, though I did read some people find quality issues with them. Thier face plates are amazing, and the buttons seem pretty good overall. Not sure on the joysticks myself but hey give em a try.
Just a question, are you going to sell the home button withe the x being the matching color, or would that be a copyright issue?
It would be a copyright issue so we will not do that lol
Just finished my button replacement. wasn't exactly a perfect fit. specifically there's something about the left bumper that can stick occasionally. It seemed worse before I put the casing back on, but now that its fully reassembled it only takes a smack to get it back to being fully clicky. I'll have to take that over the right bumper straight up not working due to a broken piece of plastic.
What do the two black leads go to? I can't get them to reconnect but I put the controller back together and put batteries in it and all my buttons work.
You have to use the nail on your thumb to push them back. The black cables are for the wireless connection, so if the controller works good, then just leave them there.
What are the two black wires for? I was having trouble getting them in and accidentally bent them. I taped down for now and will probably solder them later. The controller seems to be working fine.
It's the antenna, the controller will work but the connection distance will pretty short
I have installed mine but everything is working apart from the lb button just can’t get a press out of it
Do the buttons and triggers wear out like the paint comes off ??
this looks super hard but this guide is helpful as hell
without this video i would of guaranteed broken my controller
So you mean you made it, congrats!!!
@@ExtremeRate thanks man
Very pretty
Thank you! 😊
I'm too lazy to do all this lol I only bought it to replace my bumpers tbh
So hard to do this while I’m dancing.
I just did this yesterday, and everything is working perfectly except the d-pad. It doesn't do the clicking for the up direction, I tested it on the Xbox home screen and it works, but I can't feel it working when I press it. It does the clicking when I take the cover off and re-checked it, but once the front cover goes on pushing up doesn't click. Why is it doing this?
please let us know your order number via email to info@extremerate.com with your shipping address and CZcams name, we will send you a replacement to try again!
Please make a remap chip with 4 extra buttons like u guys did with ps4 controller. This would be awesome!
We are working on it already!!! Please stay tuned!!!
@@ExtremeRate nice ! I will order it as soon as it’s for sale 😋
@@xepicly Thank you :D
You need more subs bro
Thank you bro!
@@ExtremeRate no problème 😇😜
@@karimeljaoui8974 :D
genuine question and sorry if this sounds stupid, but is there any reason why you can't take off and replace the buttons while the controller is at the 4:06 stage? will they not just pop out?
It's held down by the pcb via screw. You have to go into the 2nd layer.
Hey Extremrate i have a question, does the remap kit where you get extra buttons and triggerstop works for the Xbox Series X Controller? Or only for the Xbox one controllers
Only for Xbox One, we are working on the XSX controller, please stay tuned!
I absolutely love how easy Microsoft made it to take apart the controllers. I've repaired at least 2 controllers with faulty buttons
After I’m done and putting my controller back together why is my front plate not aligned? Where the headphone jack is the covers aren’t flush together. How do I fix this?
Please take a photo of the issue and send it to info@extremerate.com, we will assist you to resolve this issue!
i got the kit and followed the video exactly but the controllor won’t turn on, i did everything right i’m a hit confused
I was following this guide step by step for the clear mod of this controller, but everytime I try to put it back together the triggers get jammed. Any idea how to fix this?
Same happened to me
Just gotta kinda tease the buttons. Press them down a bit as you slide the covers back in place
Does anyone know if there is a set of green buttons where the green matches the green on the 20th anniversary controller?
I think it would look really good with green buttons, specifically the transparent ones, but I dont want to order them if it doesnt match. Or does anyone know what their return policy is like? So Im not stuck with the buttons if they dont match?
@ExtremeRate I see you are somewhat active in the comments. Is this something you could answer for me?
My RB button is stuck or idk i cant press it it doesent go in if i buy the kit and only pit the RB and LB thing in it does it work then and can i only put the RB Lb thing or am i supposed to put all buttons in ? And im rlyy scared to do this it looks pretty difficult and i am only 13 can i do that ?
We suggest you ask someone who capable of this installation to do it for you.
I have a question, I ordered red ones and i opened my controller, my bumpers have pins on them to hit the button for the bumper or something, but one came out so I’m trying to replace the bumper. In the video I can’t tell if the bumper has pins on it to hit whatever the button is on the controller, can someone tell me if there are? Or if they’ll work anyway because my right pin came out so it doesn’t click, but the left one has the pin so it clicks like normal.
Never mind I just noticed it
@@KaptainKrillin :)
All this time, I've restrained from ordering your stuff because I thought the face buttons were completely blank (as in, not having the ABXY or the △OX❒ engravings). They show up like that on Amazon! Years later, I discover you have a channel and now I know the buttons DO have the letters / symbols they should??? I'm ready to mod my controllers now! I wonder how many more people are in my situation, not willing to take a chance at your products because they think the buttons are just plain (which makes the controller look really cheap, IMO). Maybe you'd consider updating your Amazon pictures? or adding a disclaimer that the buttons, do, in fact, have the letters / symbols engraved as expected?
Thank you bro. We are also making the all plain version lol. But only the current-gen controller will have both versions, the Xbox One will still only have the plain version. We forgot to describe the engraved symbols in our Amazon store, but the pictures talk!! :D
I just bought the kit and I really only have a question about the two little black wires on the circuit. Like do they slide in or is adhesive or?
Align it with its socket, and then press it down by your nail
@@ExtremeRate ok thanks
@@itsiqn6951 You are welcome
Has anyone tried their “soft touch” Xbox button replacements? Wanting to try those out.
I followed your video, now the controller won’t turn on after putting it back together. I connected the little wires back into place correctly. Any other possibilities you could think of where it could turn the power completely off?
Nevermind, figured it out, didn’t have the metal plates correctly in the batter tray
@@LPG819 Glad that you fix it! :D
Thank you for this comment! I had the same issue. It worked wired, but not wirelessly. The metal plates were inside the back plate, duh! It is now fixed (plates in the proper slot) and works perfectly. Videos of my custom using ExtremeRate parts / buttons on TikTok @saint.mara !
I have a problem as well I’ve been trying to fix it because I don’t have a extra contrôlée and can’t play
Does anyone know if this is the same for a battle beaver custom?
Just changed mine, like the look , but triggers make a clicking sound
I literally only changed the bumpers and my controller won't turn on now, any ideas?
Love the music!
The tutorial is valid, but I really wouldn't recommend opening it to change some aesthetic, after you open the xbox controller once it will never be the same, it will always have play on the grips and feel loose
Yeah i feel it ... not same anymore ...
I needed to open it to fix it
i dont think i have ever got the shell off that fast. lol
I’m not sure if I did it right but I followed every step and now the controller won’t turn on wirelessly 🤔 is it the two black cords that are inside the controller ? I aligned it just fine and when I pressed down firmly it looked like it was connected, but it turns on and works if I plug in my type c cord , any advice or help on why the controller is not turning on wirelessly now ?
Problem must be from the two black cords you said, it seems you have mixed them. Just swap them and check again
Same here and I switched the two black cords and tried still don’t work then I went back and switched them back because I originally had them correct but still nothing. Do I return the controller and try again or is there anything else I can do?
@@bigpump2530 That's weird. Is the battery ran out of power?
@@ExtremeRate yeah... the tiny connections for these cables very easily broke off. You should really magnify the view in the video so this can be avoided. Just broke my brand new controller. Everything else was fairly easy. Oh well.
Is there matching thumb sticks we can purchase somewhere?
We have this www.amazon.com/dp/B01JZ93UX0/ and this www.amazon.com/dp/B08Q391YJY/
Should I use an anti static mat when doing this?
That's better to do that.
I’m stuck on those two black cords with gold on them the right one just won’t connect
Did you get it to finally connect, for me the left one (from the back) won't connect
I went through all the steps, got everything connected back together fine including those small wires, but the controller won't turn on whether I use batteries or with a usb c cable. Any idea what could be the issue? Most troubleshooting online is just for battery issues.
Check the wires one of them might be loose and not connected right
same for me i don’t know what i did worng
I followed this EXACT and now my controller is fucking dead...fucking fantastic.
Dang that sucks
I think that happened to me too you should check if can still wired lay connect to you Xbox
Cant get the side plates off my controller
I changed buttons and front shell. But i have now a problem when i am gaming. The controller looses connection all the time. He loose connection to xbox.
Anybody know why? Could it be an ESD problem? When i was working on the mainboard?
Please check the 2 coax connectors inside the controller were plugged firmly.
are the buttons from the old xbox one s compatible with series s controllers?
No, only thumbsticks and ABXY
Will the XSX bumper , trigger fit elite 2 controller?
No
do you make buttons with the a and b switched and the x and y switch. Like a nintendo Controller but for the Xbox Series controller.
Since the demand for the Switch Pro controller version is too small, we are not sure we will make one for the Xbox controller
@@ExtremeRate I can understand that, thank you for your reply
@@kram152 You are welcome, please keep the suggestion come! :)
when the lofty remap for series s/x controller?
Hopefully in May!
Can you sell in shopee/tokopedia bro?
I've cleaned the Buttons of my old Xbox One S Controller and now the Headsetport doesn't work. Now i'm scared to do it on my Series Controller 😢

Please check www.hexgaming.com. But all the controllers on this website are with back buttons.

FFS that little cable in the middle broke off from the mother board -_- what now 😢?
I'm having trouble with the trigger buttons :(
great video, but to be honest, I think I would break my controller lol
It's so much harder to do on this than an Xbox 360 controller lol
yes :)
Anyone attempting this in 2022 should be very careful when moving the boards from the shell, they are using cheaper solder and the wires are easily disconnected , I’ve done this many times and just bought a new remote last week and they have cheapened out on the amount of solder used to connect the wires , smh
We need a release date for ps5 and Xbox series x controller remap kits
I can’t play games without back buttons anymore so please release them soon so I can mod the controllers
We are working very hard on them, please stay tuned!!!
Tell me about it! I've been struggling playing CoD CW without my back button kit, I miss it so much 😭
@@CraigsChannel The circuit part is finished, the program part is under testing and the physical back buttons part is under designing the structure, so anyway, we will try our best to make it out in season 1 of 2021, please stay tuned!!

@@CraigsChannel Thanks for your support!!! :D
did this step by step and now my controller won’t cut on
So do you have to solder on any wires to do this
no the black and gold thing you take it just goes back into place no soldering needed i thought you might but nope
I never got an Xbox button with mine
I had mines for 3 and it broke how can I clam my Warranty??
Please contact us via email to info@extremerate.com

same :(
What color of the buttons? Please make sure the metal plates on the controller motherboard come through the battery tray.
@@karldanielson7476 What color of the buttons? Please make sure the metal plates on the controller motherboard come through the battery tray.
Yes inside the batter compartment there should be metal plates which connect the batteries. Sometimes they get stuck inside when you put the back panel back on. It happened to me as well. Just take off the back panel and put it back on making sure the silver metal plates are coming through the back into the battery compartment. Should fix this
@@MultiColouredVagina This trick is really hard to discover.
I ordered one of your ps5 anti sweat absorbent grips from Amazon but it still hasn’t came yet any help?

now my controller wont power on i checked the two cables nothing wow
Have you just only replace the buttons?
Are the screwdrivers included?
Yes!!
Done trying to get the black wires on why do you need them cause they aren't going back on no matter what 6 hours trying new controller it is
They are the signal wires
@@ExtremeRate yeah they won't stay on when I do finally get them on and then put all the casing back in they pop back of and it's just never ending can I stick them down with anything like glue or anything cause it's gettimg too much
@@bclfc90 If you make sure the connectors still look good, you can put them on with force and aligned correctly. We never tried glue but I don't think it works.
