eXtremeRate Ergonomic Split Dpad Buttons SDP Buttons for PS5 Controller Black Independent D-pad Direction Buttons for PS5 Edge

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. Read more

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. Read more

To start, I recently installed this for my controller since I was tired of the stock D-pad mis-inputs in 2d fighting games (like guilty gear, streetfighter, etc.); after installing this thing works wonders, it's extremely responsive, impossible to mis-input with it and feels pretty good to touch. So why am I giving this 3 stars? That's because you have to go the extra mile and sand down the under part of the button to be flush with the ridge if you want it function properly (this is absolutely necessary if you are also using extremerate's clicky kit for the face buttons or else your controller shell just wont even close) the image shows how much you need to sand down: the button shown to the left: sanded the button shown to the right: out of the box If you are comfortable with sanding stuff, it's absolutely worth the hassle; but I know most aren't so thats why it gets 3 stars TL;DR If you are willing to sand the buttons down like the image above, it's worth it and works like a dream (necessary for clicky kit users or else it just won't work) if you are unwilling to modify the buttons, then steer clear and look for an alternative like battle beaver Read more

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. Read more

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. Read more

Perfect for mortal kombat and any fighter games so get it and it is an easy install. Read more

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. Read more

I bought these for tekken 8 and found that I was playing substantially worse, the main problem I have with these is that they are just way too tall (2-3 times taller than the normal dpad). My fingers consistently would get stuck in between the different buttons and overall it just made the controller feel clunkier.. I have currently swapped back to my old d-pad and the difference is astounding... will probably end up just throwing these away.. a complete waste of money Read more
