Face Clicky Kit for Steam Deck, Custom Dpad View A B X Y Menu Keys Face Buttons Mouse Clicky Kit for Steam Deck LCD - WITHOUT Console

I've always been a fan of clicky controllers, with my primary PC gamepad having nice clicky switches and hall effect joysticks. Seeing that I could get those same clicky buttons and sticks on the Deck I was quite excited, especially since I've always found the D-pad on the Deck to be a bit lacking. This clicky kit makes a huge difference, especially to action or D-pad focused games and makes them much more satisfying to play with the better feedback and responsiveness offered. Absolutely glad I bought these. Only possible downside is they're a little louder than the default buttons, and even compared to some other clicky controllers like my GameSir G7s quiter clicky switches. Not a problem for me honestly, but if you game somewhere that clicky buttons might be problematic, you might not appreciate that. Installation was easy, as the official video guide is very detailed and makes it a breeze. Rather than use the hairdryer method I opted for a microwave heat pack (similar to the iFixIt iOpener) to soften the adhesive. Two things to keep in mind though - once you do this mod, you can't really go back as the original button PCB won't be able to be stuck back on. Secondly, don't forget to remove your microSD before you remove the back, as a lot of people snap their cards this way. While I was in there I also decided to upgrade to hall effect sticks, as it's minimal extra work on top of this mod, and really completes the feel.

I bought this to see whether it works on OLED and it does. The connector cable to the switch board isn’t quite as secure as the stock on and can be pulled out with some force. A small piece of tape on each solved that. Really happy with the clickyness of the buttons and d-pad now. They are quite heavy to actuate so if you think this will be an issue for you then stay away. For me they are perfect and I can now hit diagonals on the D pad with no issue at all.

Nice and clicky. Too loud for me to use without headphones, but otherwise cant complain. Much prefer it over the mushy stock dpad buttons. Easy enough to install, just follow the instructions and dont try peeling it off without heat as it might stretch it, but it is otherwise possible.

Buttons feel amazing and dose improve on the user experience to feel more premium over the preinstalled membrane buttons. Installation is not to hard if you take your time. But if a button stops working down the line you can’t really go back not this company’s fault it’s just the way valve designed the steam deck. However I did have an issue where my start button stopped working. it turns out it’s just user error on my end I did not put the ribbon cable all the way in. I did have an issue on the other hand the rubber button they give that sits in between the button and the clicks button gave way and my A button got very hard to press. They do give a spare but I would love to see a more durable silicon to be use just like the valve original. By the way now I am using the spare one it dose work great. To be honest it’s a great product. I am always cautious of mods like this I am scared of a button failing but I can’t go back to the membrane one stock ones and I have ordered another set just in case something happens. Thank you extreme rate for getting in touch I will let you know I was at fault for the start button having issues. I don’t suppose you could add a line on the ribbon cable to see where it’s suppose to sit the tabs that need to be inside the lock are a little hard to see and that’s why I had a little trouble. Over all it’s great and would recommend.

Wanted to update my original review, where I had slight buyers remose after purchasing this kit. The original switches I received were very "heavy" and quite loud. After posting my original review, eXtremeRate reached out and offered me a full refund. We had a short discussion on why I felt slightly let down by this product, and they mentioned that they were looking to create a product revision for clicky switches with a slightly less heavy actuation force, and offered to ship me a set for free. I very quickly received and installed the new set (in the image, you can see a product code is 2603 as opposed to the older 2508 model) and it's genuinely *wonderful*. I can't get enough of the pleasant, tactile sensation of these switches. They're as next to perfect as I had hoped. I would describe them as slightly softer and tinnier sounding than the xbox elite series 2 d-pad switches but absolutely in the same ball park, a very premium feeling implementation. The installation was relatively seamless if you're familiar with steamdeck internals, and the replacement circuit board is comparatively very rugged with a handy adhesive strip on the reverse. I can't thank eXtremeRate enough for their exceptional customer service here. They were very attentive and thoughtful - they could have just given me a discount and closed this out, but instead wanted to make sure I was completely satisfied with their product. That's a very nice touch and I really appreciated it.

The eXtremeRate face clicky kit buttons for the Steam Deck is really worth doing, it makes the buttons feel very premium! You just dont realise how squishy the standard buttons feel! The clicking sound is not as loud as you think it is But the upgrade is not for everyone! The upgrade wasnt bad but if you dont really know what your doing I wouldnt recommend it! (You could always take it to somewhere that repairs consoles) Also you could also look at eXtremeRates youtube channel to see if its something you could do Make sure you purchase the right items for your LCD / OLED Steam Deck as they are different

Was kind of easy tbh. It's my first major teardown and I'm usually really crap with these types of things but it was a walk in the park. I just took my time with it. I didn't realise how much of a game changer it would be till after I done the mod. The SD should have come like this..

Product itself (with LCD in mind). The install is super easy, their tutorial is very clear and didn’t bring any confusion. Overall quick install, took me about 10-15 minutes. Clicks do vary button to button but that’s to be expected, clicks are sharp and you KNOW you pressed the button. The pause and select buttons being clicky is a very welcome change. Really recommend this for people that don’t have an issue with sounds/late night gaming. Yes, I know they don’t promote OLED compatibility. I attempted it either way. The cables are very much different, and while it ‘fits’ and functions, it can pretty easily be shifted and moved. So yes it functions and could be fine. If you plan on never opening up your deck again, if you travel a lot, I wouldn’t recommend it for OLED, FOR LCD it is completely fine no issues whatsoever. For me someone with an OLED and doesn’t travel and will open it up again… more than happy with the compromise for the moment. I ordered mines for my OLED (if it didn’t work it would go in my partners LCD)… didn’t even take 2 days before she ordered a pair for her deck.

La pulsacion se ha reducido notablemente, facilitando el juego. Aunque la instalacion parece complicada, es mas sencilla de lo que aparenta, y el producto incluye multitud de recambios para las piezas y tornillos por si se pierde alguno en el montaje.

Ottima mod, per quelli che rimpiangono i vecchi bottoni a microswitch simile a quelli del GBA, con la differenza che questi cliccano parecchio di più.

Je redécouvre mon stream deck quelle plaisir ce bruit Très facile a installer

The clicky is satisfying. It is not a bottom click like on the directional pad of the xbox series controller, but more of an extra layer button to press. There’s an adaptation process, but i feel like it makes the button more precise and satisfying than original steam deck buttons. I couldn’t play any game using the directional pad since the mushy feeling was disappointing and the precision was not great. Now it is finally possible.
