Discolors Quickly.
by R. Escandon (2 out of 5 stars)
October 26, 2018

When I first put this shell on, it wasn't too complicated, and fit great. It looked great, and had a great texture. Just a little bit over a month of use, the shell is discolored from where my hands have been in contact with it and now it looks gross. The shell itself works and is great, but I wanted a green controller, and now I have this gross looking discolored one. Bummer.

Close enough to perfect for five stars.
by Stalkholm (5 out of 5 stars)

TL;DR: Great product, nearly perfect. Installation is a pain in the butt, but that's not eXtremeRate's fault. Do yourself a favor and get an iFixIt tool kit, it'll really help the installation. Not for beginners, but I absolutely love the end product. 95/100!

I should just say at the start, for the sake of full disclosure, that electric lime is my all time favorite color. If you gave me an electric lime turd I'd put it on my shelf for display then immediately drive you to the hospital, cuz that's not normal. Anyway, I might be a little bit biased.

Let me also echo what others have said: This is not a beginner's project. (I thought it would be when I bought the shell; I should have read more of the reviews.) Replacing a PS4 controller shroud involves removing tiny, easily lost screws, maneuvering tiny, easily broken wires, and a touch of brute force. This is not a flaw with eXtremeRate's product, it's just a result of the way that SONY builds their controllers.

That said, being a beginner myself it took about an hour to get the shell on, but holy crap was it worth it to have my favorite controller in my favorite color! I'd give the fit and finish 95/100, some spots don't line up perfectly, but the difference is so small as to be unnoticable. The finish on the shell has a nice, silky feel in the hand, a sharp contrast with SONY's own lowest common denominator plastics. The rubber plunger under the home button didn't fit the new shell quite perfectly either, but it was easy enough to make it work that it's all the same in the end.

As a nice bonus, ER sent along a screwdriver and enough screws that I could afford to lose a few along the way. Not everybody does this, it's always nice to see customer friendly practices.

Long review for a small product. No, the shell isn't perfect, but it IS damn good. If you go into this expecting a five minute job and a factory finished fit you'll be disappointed, if you go in expecting a PITA installation and a really good result you'll probably be happy. If this looks like something you'd like, and you're willing to put in the elbow grease to make it work, I'd strongly recommend the purchase!

SONY, by the way, only gets 3/5 stars for ease of disassembly. You'd think they were hiding gold in there or something, sheesh.

Needs lots of sanding to function
by Adam Trang (2 out of 5 stars)

The eXtremeRate Faceplate Cover is decent in terms of finish, but the improper fit of the Start Button and Left Thumbstick ruin it. There isn't a way to resolve the fit without sanding, so you'll need to put in a lot of work and have the right tools. These defects affect gameplay and can't be overlooked.

The first thing you'll notice is that these covers are a much softer plastic. I'm not referring to the 'soft-touch' rubber coating on the outside, but rather the shell itself is a very soft and springy plastic. This is actually pretty cool because it allows you to remove the cover without breaking the tabs if you ever need to make changes. The softer plastic also allows for a very flush finish on the edge of the controller. Since it is so soft you may have issues clipping the controller together. Mine had a tendency to pop apart and I would have to hold the pieces together with one hand while putting in a screw with the other.

The second thing you'll notice is that the cover itself doesn't have threads in the screw holes. That means you'll need to create the threads when you put in the screws for the first time. You need to do this with a steady hand and with steady pressure. While this isn't necessarily an issue, it does mean that you can overtighten the screws without really knowing it. The shell itself will simply bend and give, and an overtightened faceplate prevents the rubber contact pads within from working properly.

None of these previous things are really an issue. It isn't until you put the controller together and attempt to use it that you realize that there is a molding issue. Using both a JDM-40 and JDM-50 I ran into similar problems with the left Thumbstick. The thumbsticks for both sets of internals would get stuck in the down and down-right position. It felt like a subtle grind and stick. For the JDM-40, my start button would get stuck on the return. I would press it down fine, but it would stick coming back up. The JDM-50 had less of an issue because the Start Button is built into the circuit board and there isn't a loose button. Regardless, the thumbstick sticking was a deal breaker. Unless the faceplate was loose enough to pop open the scraping would occur.

So, what about sanding it down and fixing it? Well I didn't attempt this. The reason being that the faceplate isn't a solid piece of rubbery plastic, it's soft plastic with a smooth coating of rubbery material on the front and in the button holes. Sanding the inner edge could fix it, but catching the rubber coating might introduce an airgap and eventually ruin the finish entirely. I didn't want to take the risk and instead decided this product was just not right for me.

It looks awesome now with my Red controller back and new red chrome buttons. User discretion advised, do not undertake unless you understand the process to change.

Faceplate fits PS4 pro controller
by Nick Lopez (5 out of 5 stars)
July 25, 2019

Controller texture is great, very soft feels good and the pink color goes well with the black. I suggest making sure you have the proper controller. I did a practice run on my broken controller just to practice taking it apart and the screw assembly on the mainboard was opposite from this faceplate. But luckily it fit on my new controller which they advertise on this product. The screws were a bit tight getting them into the faceplate but I know it will hold just be carefull to not strip the screws (thankfully it comes with extras).

Last thing is when I got it all assembled and tested it out, there was a lot of rattling. Where the bottom screws set in the faceplate they fit through this hole that attaches to the mainboard where the vibrator rotating things are (idk the name. I'm pointing to where I mean in the picture.). All I did was put some electrical tape around the post where the screw sets and no more rattle.

Minus that setback the faceplate looks great and feels solid.

Such a great shell!!!
by Brian Degenhardt (5 out of 5 stars)

This shell is great! It's got an awesome soft texture to it. As far as install goes I just had to do some minor editing, nothing major at all. Just had to remove a couple of pegs built into the center of the mold that got in the way of the circuit board being inserted. I installed a couple of Xbox One Elite controller thumbsticks too which I highly recommend because the grip is vastly better when compared to the stock dualshock 4 thumbsticks. You can also customize the height of the thumbsticks as they are magnetic and are easily removable without taking apart the whole controller again. If you've got 20 mins to spare and you want a really rad looking controller buy this, it's a no brainer!

Loose fit, touchpad hardly works.
by Joey (1 out of 5 stars)
April 10, 2018

The faceplate sits on the controller just fine, its the correct model, but ots just very loose fitting. The buttons flop around in their slots, the D-pad is wobbly, and the touchpad isnt supported by the support underneath(meaning it only will click if i push on the bottom). The faceplate is so loose if I twist the controller the whole thing opens up around the edges, meaning the clips arent making good contact. The screws don't fit all the way in. Also, the pegs which fit into the holes in the rubber support for the PS button looked like they were cut off, as well as others which support the main board.

Overall, it just seems this wasn't molded properly whatsoever. Only good thing is that it looks and feels nice, but thats where it ends.

Absolutely worth it!!
by Kevin L Heiter (5 out of 5 stars)

I bought this because the sunset orange has jumped in price due to being discontinued. This little face plate is amazing. It was terrifying taking the controller apart (first time) but so nice to see a black an super bright orange controller on my dock. I love it.

The little screws that come with the face plate, have to be used as the original ones are too thick for the new plate. Works perfect!!

Ordered similar eXtremeRate product(s) in the past without any issues, so I bought this without out hesitation and to my surprise when I received it, the pins/post on the inside that line up with the back half of my controller where broken off.. **UPDATE** Apparently my review was read, so they sent me a replacement and as expected it was A1 (All good). Big thumbs up to eXtremeRate for taking care of their consumer..

Inexpensive was to customize a controller
by Scott L. (5 out of 5 stars)
April 23, 2019

I have wanted an orange PS4 controller for quite some time, and have found the price tag a little hard to swallow. When I found this on Amazon, I was glad to have found an inexpensive alternative to the $85.00+ Sunset Orange controller. The grip and texture are amazing, and it took about five minutes (with the included tools) to complete the mod. I couldn't be happier. All future controllers will be customized with eXtremeRate grips.
