eXtremeRate Ergonomic Split Dpad Buttons (SDP Buttons) for PS5 Controller, Black Independent D-pad Direction Buttons for PS5 Edge, for PS4 Controller - No Controller

I had been getting really annoyed with pressing the dpad in one direction and the controller registering another direction in addition to the one I pressed since I first started playing games on a PS3. It started to drive me insane recently when I was playing Helldivers 2, so after about 8 months of getting annoyed, I finally decided to do something about it. This makes inputting stratagems so consistent I could actually start to seriously speed up my inputs and learn the patterns. I really enjoy swiping my finger around the dpad to turn a four input stratagem code into a single short and satisfying motion. I would personally love if they were a little bit more low profile for the ps5 controller, but they are very great and functional as is. The installation is as easy as it could realistically be given the design of the ps5 controller.

I bought these for rhythm games to help with accuracy - basically having the d-pad act and feel like buttons.The color options give you some extra customization, but I went with black to match the original PS4 dpad. Install was pretty easy and I had no problems with fitment - they drop right and and use the stock rubber membrane.Not sure how they will hold up over time, but so far I love the change.

Super easy to install. A bit snug on the PS4 controller, but button clicks are perfectly fine and responsive. If you are getting these for fighting games, they're decent. The buttons are very high, so movements like quarter and half circles will kill your thumbs. Would be a 5/5 if the buttons were a lower profile.

I had extreme issues with the Dualshock standard d-pad, constantly "pressing the wrong buttons" due to them all being connected. These buttons solved my issue. They are a little higher up and a tiny bit looser, but they are still a vast improvement. They seem durable and the grip is good, I ordered the black ones to match my black extremerate back shell for back buttons and the color is exactly the same. The install was very easy and definitely newbie-proof.

Installed fine and it works great, only thing I'd say is that these are a lot bigger than the stock Dpad. They stick out way more so moves that require a quarter circle are a bit trickier to pull off. But I no longer have to deal with incorrect inputs on Tekken, so eh lol

I wanted a split D-Pad specifically for Injustice 2. I was getting annoyed with combos/special moves constantly messing up because the game was registering diagonal input. This helps a lot with it. Now any diagonal input is actually my fault. The buttons feel good and fit perfect. Another review said they could hear a rattle, but I don’t hear any rattle. Was fairly easy to install. I went slow but following the video the product links to showed every step making installation easy. Just be careful unplugging the ribbon cables, I accidentally pulled one out but I managed to get it back in. Would recommend.

This is a budget must have for fighting game pad players on PS5. The dpad on the ps5 controller is very finicky and will register double inputs often, this product solves that issue. That being said there is an also a learning curve to this d-pad aside from building new muscle memory and callus' due to the d-pads raised height. Like other reviewers have stated, this d-pad excels in games like tekken 7 and MK11, games that dont often require frequent finessed or fast diagonal movement inputs. In games that require these inputs like GG:Strive or Street Fighter, there is a learning curve in how you chose to use your thumb. Playing the USF4 and the SF6 demo I was struggling to hit confirm strong or fierce into 2xhadoken motion supers on the right side. This is due in part to how I have always used my thumb. Since childhood, I have always used my thumbtip pressed down on the d-pad. Because of this, I was always slow on the second hadoken motion or just missed the inputs due my thumb getting stuck under the right directional button. When I started to use the left inside portion of my thumb on the down and right directional buttons instead of my thumbtip. I was able to hit confirm into super and do FADC combos with higher consistency then before. If you are a pad player who uses the middle of their thumb to play, the learning curve might not be as steep. For those of us, who used our thumbtips since childhood, you will find that there is a learning curve.

Used with clicky kit. Buttons stick.Both clicky kit and this button kit are poorly engineered Extremerate garbage.
