00:00Alright, so your PS5 controller's touchpad is scratched, sticking, or just straight up not
00:04clicking anymore and you're staring at Sony's replacement prices wondering if you should just
00:08buy a whole new pad. Don't. I went down the rabbit hole and found the best deals on top 5
00:15PS5
00:15touchpad replacements, and honestly, number 1 costs less than a coffee. First up, the for PS5
00:22BDM 010 020 030 V1 V2 V3 controller auction and share buttons kit and yeah, that name is a mouthful,
00:28but here's the thing, it covers basically every PS5 controller revision out there,
00:33V1, V2, V3, all the BDM numbers. You're getting the touchpad, the option and share buttons,
00:40the whole kit. At just $3.38 with almost 4,800 sold and a 4.9 rating, this is the
00:47safest bet on
00:48the list. If your share button died along with your touchpad, this fixes both in one shot.
00:54Next, the for PS5 V1 V2 V3 gamepad handle shell cover with the camouflage or clear matte finish,
01:00and yes, it comes with a pry bar, which is the one tool you actually need for this job.
01:05Now, this one's more of a cosmetic upgrade for your grips than a pure touchpad swap,
01:10but at $5.22 and 4.8 stars from over 4,300 buyers, it's a no-brainer if you're already
01:16cracking
01:16the controller open. While you're in there replacing the touchpad, you might as well make the shell look
01:22fresh. Third, we've got the EXtremeRate Clicky Kit V2 for BDM 040, 050, and 060 controllers,
01:30and this is for the newer PS5 pads, so if you bought your console in the last year or two,
01:35this is your guy. It replaces your shoulder, face, and D-pad buttons with actual clicky switches.
01:41Yeah, it's the priciest at $21.33, but EXtremeRate is the name people trust for mods,
01:48it's got 4,366 sold and a 4.7 rating, and the tactile feel is genuinely addictive.
01:55If you want your controller to feel premium, this is it.
01:59Number 4 is the silicone cover case with rubber thumb grips, a touchpad sticker,
02:03and this is the key part, it fits in the charging dock.
02:07$6, 4.7 stars, over 4,300 sold.
02:12Look, if you don't want to open your controller at all,
02:14a touchpad sticker plus a silicone skin is the lazy man's fix for scratches and worn-out grip.
02:20It protects what you've got and hides the damage.
02:23Perfect for the, I don't own a screwdriver, crowd.
02:27And finally, the for PS5 handle face shell decorative strip,
02:30the front cover trim at just $3.37 with a 4.8 rating and 4,306 sold.
02:37This one's the budget finishing touch.
02:40You're already replacing the touchpad, so swap out that scuffed front strip while the
02:44shells open and your controller comes out looking brand new for basically 3 bucks.
02:49Cheapest thing on the list, and it makes the biggest visual difference.
