eXtremeRate The Great Wave Touchpad Front Top Shell Compatible with ps5 Controller BDM-010 020 030 040 050, DIY Replacement Shell Custom Touch Pad Cover Compatible with ps5 Controller

I used a tutorial video on yt to assemble it and I've had it for several months now and it's still hanging on strong! It's super pretty too.

LOVE it!!! But I hated the process. There’s alot to this. I also changed the shell to my Xbox controller, very easy. This took a few hours. If you’re gonna go through this process, might as well change out the buttons, thumbsticks and D-pad. Once you begin you’ll realize the same thing, that you don’t want to do this twice. I have a model kit tool set, makes this much easier. If you don’t have that and don’t want to get that, they provide you with the basic tools you’ll need. Will need a heat gun, no getting around that. Also, their YouTube videos are a HUGE help. But once you put everything back together you forget the hard work and you’ll be happy with your unique controller. It feels great too, not too smooth where it’ll slip out of your hands. Doesn’t feel cheaply made either. No gaps. Like it came from Sony this way. Highly recommend!!!

The media could not be loaded. In my opinion these are perfect they fit amazing and look beautiful. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT MODEL CONTROLLER YOU HAVE!! That way you can order the correct one I believe they offer one for every model so far. And they also have step by step install videos to help make it 10x easier

The product quality is really good. Admittedly I think they just hydro dip or vynal wrap regular ps5 factory shells but it looks really nice! I already had one the first time and I’ve had the back on for about a couple years. But one thing to keep in mind is that your colored fronts and backs will get dinghy and like stained dirty. That’s why I got the carbon look, because it’s like glossy and slides well. But on the back it did peal a little but I can’t see or really feel it but other than that it’s really good!

The media could not be loaded. 10/10 design the only thing I wish y'all would do is have kits that don't include the screwdriver and pry tool. This would be beneficial to buyers who already have the tools necessary. Even if you took only a dollar or two off the overall price that would be good.

I love the new look, and it was pretty easy to install while watching the video instructions. BUT today I went to change the two smaller buttons by the touch pad when I found out that it’s now damn near impossible to pry off the face plate without damaging it or the new shell. It’s nice that everything is nice and secure, but I wish I would have known this before assembling it. Make sure you make all changes to your controller on the first go. Ye be warned.

The overall feel and quality are fairly high, but the thickness of the shell is not quite the same as an original shell, so this results in the face buttons and dpad being less firmly held between their rubber membranes and the front shell. This isn't too much of an issue for the face buttons, because the DualSense also uses a thick rubber piece around all of the buttons that holds them in place. But for the dpad, in my case at least, it was VERY lose even freely rattled around in its slot when fully reassembled. I had to disassemble again, and shim up the dpad itself with some strips of tape in the cross section. Now it fits tightly as it should, but this isn't something that should be an issue on a $20 product that's only half a controller housing.Beyond that, if I had to nitpick, the woodgrain print is a fair bit darker and less pronounced than the product images, and my touchpad grain is a bit distorted and crooked, likely from being dipped at an odd angle when they applied the print.Installation is simple if you are used to taking controllers or other electronics apart, but probably a bit daunting if this is your first project like this, particularly removing the touchpad from the front plastic of an original shell. This is possible to do without a heatgun/hairdryer, but it makes it a bit easier. Also, just a lot of ribbon cables and fiddly parts to potentially break if not careful or comfortable with them, but that's all just on Sony for making the Dualsense so over-engineered.Overall, decent product, but not amazing.

The shell looks amazing on my ps5 controller now I'm playing as a millionaire. I did order the trim piece which after I get it installed my controller will look complete. The grip feels amazing but one thing the plastic piece that came with this shell must use. The factory piece won't work with the touch pad.
