DIY PS4 Controller: eXtremeRate's Whole Clicky Kit | Step by Step Tutorial

eXtremeRate finally released a face clicky kit for the ps4 controller but this one's different. The ps5 version was made to be able to make ONLY your face/front buttons sounds like mouse clicks. The PS4 version was combined with the hair triggers. Reason why it's called the Whole Clicky Kit. Not only will your front buttons sound clicky, but your triggers will also have clicky sounds. You'll also be able to activate your L1, R1, L2 , and R2 buttons sooner with the kit installed. NOTICE: THE KIT IS ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH JDM-040 JDM-050 JDM-055 / CUH-ZCT2.

[@jasonpoke6006]

he is wrong i got the Clicky Kit to work

[@im.a.caveman]

Sir, I'm glad YOU got yours installed without an issue. I'm not the only one with the issue that I was having. As a matter of fact, I say was, because just recently I decided to replace the triggers with older ones from I don't know which JDM but that worked. And the reason I tried it was because someone that was having the same issue recommended I try that. It worked, so now both triggers can be pressed down. Have fun with your kit!

[@MexicanJoker4life]

Its great to hear that extreme rate is working to resolve the issues. Still an excellent video overall

[@im.a.caveman]

Thanks! I just need to send the video/pics to show them.

[@Jackapacka77]

This production quality is crazy

[@Ninjaclutch1130]

Finally a video about this kit for the ps4 so I can see what they sound like and how they work

[@im.a.caveman]

It's honestly not bad for the click addicts lol. Mine needs a fix though so I'm hoping extremerate will be able to help. Or if they send the replacement hopefully that one will work out.

[@dreadedliongaming6248]

I really enjoy the clicky kit for my DS4. The only issue I've run into is the fitment of the rubber grommets for the d-pad/face buttons and the plastic grommets for the bumpers and triggers. If you purchase the extreme rate replacement triggers, bumpers, d-pad, and face button kit, the clicky kit works perfectly. If you install the clicky kit on the stock components, you will have issues, so please keep that in mind. I guess Extreme Rate designed the rubber and plastic grommets to fit their aftermarket kit specifically because the fitment of each grommet to its respective component is a tight, snug fit. The fitment for the stock components is loose and the the grommets come out of place, especially the d-pad and face buttons. The only components from the stock fit that were perfect are the bumpers. The L2/R2 triggers were falling out of place, and I had the damnest time attaching them to the motherboard. The functionality of the two controllers is completely different but functional.

[@workhardt8080]

Hi idk if you'll see this bc its been a while but what you're saying is to buy the clicky kit and as well purchase the full replacement buttons kit from them that comes with bumper, triggers, dpad, action buttons, touchpad, etc. and it will work better correct? Thanks!

[@tavz9806]

I had the same issue with L2, it was just stuck and then it stopped working, returned that one and got a replacement and same issue but now both triggers were acting up, after messing with it for a while I found the solution, I cut the bottom portion that connect the little tail on L2 and R2 if it makes any sense, after that the triggers worked fine and no more sticky triggers I wish I could put a picture here. Great video super detailed and zoomed in perfectly

[@im.a.caveman]

Hey man thanks for the kind words. I think I know what you mean by the little tail. Which I did cut? Unless I don't know what you mean. But im gonna be sending a video to them of the problem. They're waiting for me to send it. I'm glad you got yours working!

[@nicolaschavess]

Hey what’s up men I’m about to buy this kit and I’m trying to trouble shoot all issues before install it, are you talking about the “U” shape that’s right under his index finger in the minute 8:42? So instead of it being a “U” shape we cut the top part and is just going to look something like this “| |” ? I hope you understand what I was trying to ask lol

[@im.a.caveman]

@@nicolaschavess Oh I see what you mean. I haven't seen or heard about cutting it. Someone mentioned that I should do some sanding but I didn't do it because I feel like the product shouldn't require me to do that. I had been sent a 2nd kit but the result was the same. So I think I'm going to buy their triggers and see if that works.

[@ArisenDD]

I found the reason for the problem people seem to be having that their R2 & L2 got stuck, is that the clear plastic that you put inside the trigger appears to be not compatible with all the trigger buttons on the ps4 controller, so the clear plastic is not thoroughly flushed into the trigger, so either they are not clicking right or they got stuck, so whenever you're in-game it will just always be pressed. I found this video on which triggers are compatible and which aren't ; kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHuTkKiNjNKji5Y .The comparison for the trigger buttons starts at 14:07 Hope ExtremeRate will see this. Thanks !

[@ursdubel3585]

Cool thank you 👍👍

[@editon69]

Out off the 3 different triggers if you have the one in the middle 14:07 video, you have to mod the clear plastic insert. If you look where the clear plastic insert sit on the trigger the one on the left has a big half circle shape, the middle one has a small half circle shape and the one on the right is a rectangle shape, pause the video and take a look. Good luck

[@nano-xd8528]

I just assembled the extremerate kit I haven’t tried yet in a game. But I notice that the trigger L2 has a slightly different click from the trigger R2. I have the impression that the race of the trigger L2 is slightly different from that of the R2, but after that it is perhaps me who gives me ideas to see in a game. What worries me is the keys of the controller jdm-055 OPTION is SHARE where I feel no resistance

[@RadMan42069]

Had to file down the faces of the plastic inserts to give it enough room to work without constantly pressing the trigger by default. Hope this helps anyone with the same issue!

[@alexhernandez8649]

I’m having issues where it’s not reading the r2 and l2 not getting anything from it in game. Should I keep filing the slots down ?

Bro... pleease do the tutorial of this same modification but for the dualsence of ps5!! Or where is the link of that tutorial??

[@samuil5]

Thank you my love, I am now pro at Apex

[@samuil5]

Time to feed!

[@LostRespxct]

Ok, I bought and just got the kit today, I was having the same problem with the triggers and what I did to fix it is I cut the rectangle off both triggers. If that doesn't make sense then I'll try to explain it. The long part on the trigger where it goes over the hook you want to cut them off. And it will work

[@hairlyfeyanni3044]

Do you have to change the anologs or can you keep the original ones?

[@KryptonianChaos1]

If your L2 and R2 buttons aren't clicking after you pop in the little clear pieces, I recommend you use a super old PS4 controller's L2 and R2 buttons. I assume gen 1 for example. It worked perfectly for me

[@im.a.caveman]

I'll see if this works!

[@MyersSzn]

I sanded the clear piece and it worked

[@Callofdutytopclips]

What I did was i brought a fake ps4 controller and I used parts off that one

[@GhostAssassinS21]

To fix the R2 and L2 buttons not clicking I identified that the rubber pieces were too big for jdm-055 controllers so I shaved a bit off the flat side of the rubber so it didn't click the button unless the trigger was pressed. And to get it to stay in the L2 and R2 triggers I burned the part of the rubber piece where the ridges are supposed to fit into the trigger button and it hardened and stayed np

[@KryptonianChaos1]

@@GhostAssassinS21 You had to burn and I had to saw, lol. The depths we'll go to for a better gaming experience. Glad it worked out for you

[@kushiashimself7343]

I cut the long rectangle at L2 and R2. Thus the clicky keys work. At the control cross and the buttons I left the rubber, which the two attached to each. However, you have to cut out the holes first, which is very easy, since they are practically given.

[@im.a.caveman]

By long rectangle. Do you mean the part that hooks around the R2/L2?

[@kushiashimself7343]

Correct. The long rectangle that holds L2 and R2 on 6:20

[@im.a.caveman]

@@kushiashimself7343 oh nice. I never got back to it so I'll try this. So just to make sure, yours was also stuck before you had cut the rectangle?

​@@Dylan00731how did u mod the see through plastic for the L2&R2 triggers?

Are the buttons durable enough to undergo mashing and not get damaged? Cause rubber pad wear out really fast.. And can i just use the regular d pad instead of the seperated one? It comes handy in certain situations of movement.. I use mishimas in tekken so.. I really abuse the pads

[@ykwoke4913]

Everything for me was working great till one of the blue pieces came off by a slight touch I put all 3 buttons except R2 I got a defective kit I'm still gonna send it back and try again but this video definitely helped a lot

[@MarcuS05420ttv]

Is this full kit a better solution than me buying a scuff?id rather costom build my own controler because i like the smaller controler shell of the stock controler

[@dco1019]

so I need to do a complete disassembly to check compatibility? I have a DS4 v2..model number CUH-ZCT2E on the back... but apparently only the motherboard nr matters? there must be something that can be said about the compatibility based on the informatin I have without opening the thing up. its a new model.. still being sold now...

[@invest_9361]

Hey man love your vid I just got my kit in today. I was wondering, I'm not going to put the custom back buttons on. But I will use the PS4 back button attachment they sell. Will it still work even if I change the the inside of the controller?

I'm sure it'll still work. I haven't tried them together but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

[@udon601]

i had the white controller and the everything including the triggers ended up working fine for me but i did notice that some of the clicks sound sharper than some of the other ones

[@im.a.caveman]

Not all clicks will sound the same. One thing I've learned, from using a mechanical keyboard, the sound will be different depending on the placement of the switches. I'm assuming its the same for these clicky kits. Could possibly also be the switches. This is just my opinion, not a fact.

So you want to be able to have the face clicky but because you have a the BB digital triggers you. You would have to remove the BB digitals if you want this kit installed

I didn't get it to work. They had told me that it works with that model but it didn't. They had sent a replacement to try again but it was the same outcome. From there nothing else was done.

[@shawnwade302]

I guess I don't understand the fascination with cliquey buttons on the faceplate whether it be the d-pad or the other buttons. I'm not trying to be a troll here I just don't get it. I tried out a friend's PS4 and Xbox controllers that were "pro" controllers and didn't care for them at all. But that's just me

[@im.a.caveman]

That's because the clicks are mainly for the sound. I'm personally also not into clickiness. It can be nice but since I have others around me I'm being considerate to be as quiet as I can especially since I like to game at night.

[@minibofom]

What if you install it without the correct jdm

[@im.a.caveman]

Not too sure. But the description says it's compatible with JDM-040, 050, or 055. Check the motherboard for one of these numbers or look online for a reference. There's a chance the JDM is known without disassembling the control but I personally haven't looked into this. I've only tried it on a JDM-055.

[@minibofom]

Ok thanks

[@user-ey1lc8ms5j]

How does this do in fighters???????

[@im.a.caveman]

The split dpad or the clicky kit? I've heard fighter gamers say that the split dpad is pretty good for fighters since it helps press the button combo you want better than the original dpad. Since the original dpad is one whole button I guess that's what can cause the wrong direction to be pressed. But I don't play much fighters. I think someone in the comments talked about.
