I went to the description to find the link for the back button module in hops to find a link to the mechanical part removed at 3:50. mine keeps breaking and i just want to get a few to have on hand. However no link were there.

No actually there is only a link for the joy stil module ​@DONTCRY_Coops

[@Vonalray]

Is it possible to replace the rubber pads on the interior of the controller? The ones your finger tips rest on.

[@tristanretzbach4446]

Do I have to take all of the little ribbons and stuff off or can I go directly to the face button layer

[@botondkovacs8578]

wow👏

[@zan7737]

Would the silicon pads from a regular Dualsense fit in the Edge? Asking because on mine the buttons feel much more mushy than the one the console came with so I'm wondering if I could just swap the silicon button pads to retain the feel.

[@scarecrow03]

Most dualsense edge are like that or worst, i have replaced like 3 controllers andsome are worst, he mentioned in this video that he put a link for the rubber buttons thing in the description but its not there. Im trying to fix mine, did you fix yours? Amazon does sell the conductive rubber pads but its specified for dualsense so i dont know if it works on the edge. Someone on reddit said he had to cut the rubber from the dualsense to transfer it to the edge

[@mentos93]

​@@scarecrow03 i like to know too.

[@hexagon4929]

4:01 What is the name of the part that presses the button behind the controller? This plastic part with a magnet for the pedal broke. I want to find this part, but I don’t know what it’s called.

[@skillzz_hd8310]

@@eeesawk I couldn’t find where to put them so I just left them out mate, no dramas so far and have been using it for around 6-7 days pretty consistently. I kept them in a zip lock just incase I find a video or explanation on where they are meant to go

[@BF4NTOM]

Those two plastic sheets are from the tigger switch. They should be fixed inside of the back panel. Make sure to put them in the correct position so when you put back the front part of the controller, you won’t damage the plastic sheets with the trigger switch. Hope that helps.

[@str8swish538]

The buttons should be as easy to swap out as the joysticks. My x button was working fine, I turned my ps5 off to make a run and come back to it not working. To have to do all of that for 1 button is ridiculous.

Why do you to do completely take the thing apart to get to the stupid botton that is sticky. This is insane.. like actually f-in insane.

The back button internal piece broke on my controller. After 4 hours of trying to contact support for my warranty they tell me to ship it to them and I have to pay for shipping.. 200 dollar controller and they don’t give me a box and make me pay to get it repaired smh. Still waiting on it to return now .. that piece should not be plastic. It’s like extreme rate first generation when it was plastic and now it’s metal, they need to update it

[@mortenandersen5056]

I made a makeshift repair with a rubber band from the paddle to the headphone cord to keeping from moving forward. It works well enough
