Hey! Great video! By the way, any luck finding a source to buy the black piece you pick up at 8:07 in the video? I was able to glue them back in place, but I know that will just be temporary.
Same here,where can we buy that black piece
I also need that black piece, if someone knows where to buy it please let me know!
extremrate is about to release this fixing piece
I also need this black piece :(
Me too, need this piece as well.
the mechanical Rocker that sits on top of the Module with the two pins sticking out at 8:09... are you able to 3D print these and or make some out of carbon fiber... that way they are more durable for constant wear and tear...
Need the black, two prong piece
I am looking for taht same piece
Is there no answer to the question of where to get the black piece?
Folks, I heard that extremrate is about to release this fixing piece. Can't wait to fix my back buttons.
Any idea where to get the back button circuit board? The thing that allows the button to pop back up deflated and I'm unable to get to reflate and keep it flated.
What I did with the black piece to fix it is. Drill a hole and insert a screw, cut off the end of the screw so it's the same way as the other arm and file it down. That piece broke on me on the second day of having a controller. Be back button mechanics was pretty poorly made.
Can you fix playstation edge controller back buttons mine just stopped working and only had it since Christmas
I need the black piece too. Please let me know where to buy it!
