Just swapped out my worn-out PS5 controller thumbsticks with these eXtremeRate ones, and wow, what a difference!

The black clear and carmine red combo looks slick AF on my controller. No more boring default colors when gaming with friends.

Installation was easier than I thought! The included screwdriver worked fine, though I'd recommend having some electronics tools handy just in case.

After 3 months of heavy use (I'm talking 4-hour Warzone sessions), the grips still feel brand new. No rubber flaking like my original sticks had.

They feel slightly different from OEM sticks - not worse, just different. More plastic-y than rubbery, but honestly I prefer the durability trade-off.

Pro tip: Watch their YouTube installation guide before starting. Saved me from potentially breaking my controller!

Only gripe? That little blue prying tool is kinda flimsy. Mine snapped halfway through the second controller replacement.

For the price? Absolute steal compared to buying a whole new controller. My chewed-up thumbsticks (thanks, puppy!) are now history.
