00:00PS5 trigger buttons versus extenders, which is better.
00:04So your PS5 controller's triggers are mushy, clicking, or straight up dead,
00:08and you're staring at two totally different fixes, replacement trigger buttons, or clip-on
00:13extenders. I went through the listings, checked the sold counts and ratings, and found the best
00:18deals for PS5 trigger buttons versus extenders, which is better. One of these is a real repair,
00:24one is a comfort upgrade, and knowing which you need saves you money.
00:28First up, the workhorse, a full L1 or 1L2 or 2 trigger button set with springs for the PS5
00:34version 3.0 BDM030 controller. Best feature is that it's the complete set all four buttons plus
00:41springs so you're not hunting for a missing piece halfway through the teardown. It's $3.84,
00:47and with over 4,600 sold and a 4.9 rating, that's about as proven as replacement parts get.
00:53If your BDM030 triggers are worn or cracked, this is your fix.
00:58Next, springs only and honestly, this is the smart buy most people skip.
01:03The listing gives you 10, 20, 50, or 100 pieces of R2L2 trigger springs, and they fit PS3, PS4,
01:10PS4 Pro, PS4 Slim, and PS5 controllers across JDM001, 010, 011, 030, and 040 boards.
01:19Best feature, it covers basically every controller you own. At $4.19 with 4,298 sold and a 4.7
01:29rating,
01:30you can fix one controller or refresh a whole drawer full. Then there's Yushi's L1 or 1L2 or 2
01:36replacement set for the PS5 BDM030 version 3.0, springs included. Best feature here is the fit and
01:43finish Yushi is a known name in this space, and it holds a 4.9 rating across 4,045 sales,
01:49which tells you people aren't returning it. Price is $3.90. If you want the same repair as the first
01:57one but from a brand with a track record, spend the extra $0.06. Number 4 is the flexible one
02:03BDM010,
02:05BDM020, and BDM030 trigger buttons with springs, for PS5 version 1.0, version 2.0,
02:11and version 3.0 controllers, in black or white. Best feature, it works across all three board
02:17revisions, so you don't have to open your controller and squint at the model number
02:21before you order, and you can match your shell color. $3.92, 2,697 sold, 4.8 rating.
02:30Great pick if you're fixing more than one controller or you're not sure which revision
02:34you have. So the verdict, if your buttons are cracked, popping out, or the springs are shot,
02:40by the replacement set, the $3.84 BDM030 set or the $3.90 Yushi set are the safe picks,
02:47and the spring multipack is the cheapest real fix. If your triggers work fine and you just want a
02:52better grip, grab the Datafrog extenders for $3.26. Links to all of them are in the description
