Steam Deck OLED ABXY Dpad FACE CLICKY Installation Guide

[@JerryFlowersIII]

I'm in awe in how good the instructions are. To not only explain in very clear detail what to do, but also including graphics for screw locations, images of the screws, and biggest of all, including small reminders on where someone could make a mistake. So excellent.

[@ExtremeRate]

Thank you!

[@summergamer7650]

Agreed, I tried watching some videos but they were going through it too fast to the point that I would have to rewind 5-7 times just to understand what they just did, but this one worked flawlessly.

[@segafrog]

i bought the kit and went for it. ..i did the dpad only, not the abxy buttons, and the dpad is excellent now, it's perfectly accurate and the difference is huge

[@LittleWingedKuribo]

Hey there, I am planning on only changing the Dpad as well. What steps did you skip from before the dpad section, if any? Thanks!

[@segafrog]

@@LittleWingedKuribo i powered off my steam deck, removed the sd card and then took off the back cover of the steam deck. i didn't disconnect the battery. i then went straight to the section of this video called 'dpad clicky button installation' (6:39) and i then followed the video guide except i didn't heat the original dpad button fpc because it peels off without any problems, ..it just requires a firm pull/peel. Removing the trigger (6:41) feels weird because it feels like it's going to break, it's an odd motion but i managed it eventually despite it feeling like it was going to be damaged. The improvement to the dpad from stock to clicky is wonderful with regards to accuracy and feel but be aware the click of the dpad buttons is a bit loud, i wish it was a bit quieter but it's still a brilliant dpad upgrade anyway

[@erraddict]

@@segafrog That's what I'm worried about but I may want to try desoldering those switches off and putting my own quieter ones, if I can find some on Amazon.

[@segafrog]

@@erraddict you can stick small squares of electrical tape onto the switches before you put the buttons silicone membrane in place. Then you will have almost silent buttons, which is what i did because the noisy clicks became annoying

[@lalgerino91]

I HAVE been waiting for this

[@lalgerino91]

i finally installed them removing the triggers had me scared i thought i would brake them but the installation is so worth it

[@vaassick8016]

I just got my clicky kit plus transparent orange face buttons and triggers..nervous and excited to get home from work n get started..so far I've only replaced sticks with hall effect so this would b my 2nd time doing surgery thanks for this instruction I feel pretty good about my chances now with screwing anything up

[@deadox]

I have had hard time removing the trigger; ended up using included spudger, as seen in iFixit's instruction. Also for ABXY I've applied just enough amount of kapton tape across the back of buttons in order to eliminate rattling. overall super happy with the kit!

[@segafrog]

i didn't heat the original dpad button fpc (shown at 8:47), i just tried to peel it off without heat and it peeled off with very little effort and nothing was damaged plus no old glue remained. ...so in my opinion you can skip the heat part

[@Deez117]

Thanks so much i was wondering this myself

[@Lynker]

This is a great guide! I just wanna replace the ABXY buttons for Nintendo's format, but I'm happy I found this!!

[@cheater00]

nice video! one thing you should know: no one says "FPC" in the west - they say "PCB".

[@ExtremeRate]

Thanks for let us know, FPC means flex printed circuit while PCB is printed circuit board, we get used with them to distinguish the soft or hard board

[@cheater00]

@@ExtremeRate oh yeah, in that case the usual term being used is FlexPCB. It's just a matter of what people are used to, that's all.

[@cmorche]

@@cheater00 I've never once heard anyone say FlexPCB in the USA at least. Always FPC or PCB.

[@zoverdoser]

This video really helps me a looot. Now I have finished my buttons mod. Thank you!!

[@MaximilianRivera]

I'm so excited for more OLED customization to come! Great video

[@ExtremeRate]

Thank you! More to come!

[@sgas]

Exciting! Cant wait for more oled stuff

[@ExtremeRate]

The next will be the shell and buttons for OLED, please stay tuned!

[@sgas]

​@@ExtremeRate Been waiting on the shell since the oled sd came out, appreciate the communication here and on the discord. Always wanted to replace the awful stock orange power button

[@Luso___]

How much better is the responsiveness than the stock pads? And if they are better any chance of coming out with a silent kit?

[@ExtremeRate]

We are studying on the silent version since even we find a suitable silent switch, the noise from the button hit the shell when it rebond still there.

[@MarcBantolina]

Can you guys make a silent button version? That's way too loud for me

[@MFKitten]

Isn't that just the stock buttons?

[@erraddict]

@@MFKitten You can have a quieter clicky button. I know a lot of computer mic have silent switches that are still clicky

[@123yopey]

So we do not use any of the stock screws when installing and just use the one that come with the kit?

[@Dan-ck1mv]

Hello, ExtremeRate. Are you planning to release Clicky Kit for BDM-040?

[@ExtremeRate]

Hi, we've released the FACE clicky kit for BDM040, and for the triggers clicky, we plan to release it in July, please stay tuned!

[@Dan-ck1mv]

@@ExtremeRate Cool! Thanks for the reply :)

[@PatrykW-u4q]

Wait too

[@oaktreejaydee]

Why do they give you 2 PVT sticky sheet things?

[@Dinje_]

Hello, i've just installed it, It feels very good but I have one question, the buttons seems more "difficult" to push and have a very high resistance, does it goes away with time ? Or no?

[@Tessa_Wolf_]

What are the plastic adhesive star things for that are jn the kit.

[@nikolaaskaas]

Wondering the same thing. Have tried a bunch of things but can’t find a use for them

[@cppctek]

Can you make one for the rog ally x ? ❤❤❤❤

[@duaplex1]

I need to be convinced the D-Pad will be more responsive, especially for retro gaming. Can anyone help? Is it worth the hassle? Thank you.

[@segafrog]

hell yes it's definitely worth it for retro gaming or any gaming, ..my dpad is now brilliant accurate responsive etc. it's pretty easy to do and works perfectly

[@SasukeUchiha-lq4tc]

When r the steam deck oled shells and buttons coming out? I really want the gold one and red clear buttons

[@isaach.o6006]

Watch the video bro. They are for the D-Pad

[@damnedsaint5463]

It's great to see parts for the OLED start rolling out. If these are more responsive than the stock buttons, then how about a silent version? In addition, when are the custom buttons and shells coming?

[@ExtremeRate]

We are studying on the silent version since even we find a suitable silent switch, the noise from the button hit the shell when it rebond still there. Replacemnet shell and buttons will hopefully come out in July, or August.

[@damnedsaint5463]

@ExtremeRate Thanks for the reply. Can't wait for the shells and buttons to hit the market. I like the green shell, however, Emerald Green is a little to light for my taste. How about a dark green? Like the green on the Translucent Green OG Xbox, or even a Jungle Green like on a N64? Those would look pretty damn sick.

[@Botaim-6]

Hey extremerate, I’m asking if you could make trigger clicky kit and face button click kits for the bdm 040 ps5 controller thank you 👍

[@SynthGrooves]
