eXtremeRate Full Set Shell with Buttons Touchpad Cover, Clear Custom Replacement Decorative Trim Shell Front Back Plates Compatible with p s 5 Controller BDM-010 020 - Without Controller

Love this shell. Did the full replacement (minus the buttons + triggers). It looks great! Quality is very good.If you’re patient, have the right tools, and follow the directions; the assembly is relatively easy.

I've been a big fan of the Playstation controller design since the original DualShock, and the DualSense is its finest form yet. But mine was looking and feeling a little rough after some nasty drops over the years. Didn't want to buy a whole new one, so I decided it was time for a replacement shell. I've already done a few other case swaps with ExtremeRate kits, and this one doesn't disappoint.Bear in mind, I didn't use any of the included buttons, so I had no need to disassemble the trigger mechanisms. But the rest of this kit came together perfectly easily. The DualSense is a surprisingly easy controller to take apart. Toughest part for me was changing out the touchpad, and all that took was some gentle persuasion with a spudger, I didn't even need to apply any heat.Visually, this is just what I hoped for. The translucent black plastic has a smoked glass aesthetic to it that I think looks even better in person. I love how the light bars filter through it. I used matte black touchpad and trim pieces, they complement the translucent parts perfectly. And I finished my build off with a set of black face buttons with old-school colored symbols.It feels perfectly solid, just as durable as the original shell. It all fits together perfectly flush, there's no creaking or looseness to it. Almost like my DualSense came off the factory line like this. In fact, they should just sell them this way out of the box! People would love it.

CAUTION!: make sure that it’s a certain kind of controller by referring to the picture; pop the R1/L1 bumpers and see if it’s the same frame, if not, the triggers will not be compatible.It’s a good shell but it’s pretty smooth, not as much grip as the original shell and a bit fragile but I like it and it looks nice with the metal buttons!

super cool for a while but then the joysticks will get less clear over time and start to look dirty one did rip after a year of everyday gaming but overall i’d probably still buy these again

Okay, so this was my first full shell replacement for the PS5 controller.That said, I did mix 4 purchases to get the look I was after.The primary shell (this atomic purple) was actually fairly easy to use, the only issue I had was that the mic on the bottom of the controller hated the seating because it's a shallow divot. Not the manufacturer's fault, just how the controller is designed.I did also have some minor seating hiccups when getting the full shell back together and there were a few times I hard a cracking noise after getting everything lined up and assembled, but so far there's no damage and I'm loving how it looks.

So I was glad that I bought this when most parts were working but the bumpers and triggers did not work to get them connected to my controller

I’ll start with the pros. Nice look and feel. Plastic feels high quality and no janky flashing on the edges. I with the buttons had the symbols on them or they at least included stickers but that’s a small gripe. Thumb sticks feel like the OEM.Now for the cons:I wanted to do a full swap on both my controllers so i ordered a clear red and clear purple shell with all the buttons. The L2 and R2 bottoms on the red were the two piece style (that doesn’t work with either specified controller model) and the purple buttons were single piece that fit fine.The issue with the two piece buttons I had was the travel was about half vs stock buttons and they did not move very freely. You could feel the resistance. So I was forced to use the stock black buttons and because of my OCD I had to change out the purple L2 and R2 to the black ones so they would match.They need to eliminate the two piece buttons all together. Very disappointed because the purple controller looked so nice with matching buttons. Now they look just ok.

Bought this because I had an old controller that had a cracked shell. I made sure to identify the model of my controller and order the right shell. disassembly and reassembly was pretty straight forward with the video tutorial they provide. One pain in the butt though is getting the chip off the old touch pad. Took about 30 minutes of heating up the piece with a hair dryer to loosen the glue. Other wise it’s like a brand new controller now. Looks and feels great. Definitely worth it.
