Got to say this upgrade is instantly noticeable on fighting games.
Damn right it won't give me accidental downforward and downback input anymore. Which is always breaks my heart cuz all of those stolen won matches against me.
@@PorknBeansss that's exactly why I bought it. It is a godsend
@@Nidav3 yeah ds4 stock rubber sucks and their contact pad worn out really quick. More like a money grab.
@@PorknBeansss money grab for who? Supporting Battle Beaver seems like you would be supporting a superior vendor compared to Sony.
@@tristanmelgarejo4197 hey pay attention to the words ok.
After hearing how the d pad works I literally took my ps4 controller apart and took the d pad buttons and broke them individually and smoothed down the edges on the floor cement and bam!! It works perfect "Homemade"
Does the dpad sit flush, like how it was before you broke it into 4 pieces? I'm thinking about doing that as well
Hm how does this feel...and what did you do to break off each direction? Scissor? Knife?
@@hakimdurand8427 I bought the battle beaver one and I also broke one up into pieces on my second controller. I don't know if I did it 100% right but it does work. I used a small fine toothed saw and sanded down the rest. It still needs a little support in the center, maybe one of those little rubber feet things like in this video. I also have the one from battle beaver and it's quite nice, very good for fighting games.
@@paulval7108 any suggestions on what i can use to replace that small piece?
@@hakimdurand8427 As a substitute? I'm not too sure. Your best bet honestly is to use one of those rubber feet things with the peel adhesive.
This so worth it. Great video and great mod. I noticed a drastic improvement playing MK 11 immediately over the factory dpad.
can you use this for mk11 competition ?
@@XOL24OX yeah loads of pros use battle beaver dpads
I already know how to do this i just wanted to support the video! Thank you to the battlebeaver crew
Best vid I’ve seen on disassembling a ps4 controller.
Yes, best for sure... 2 broken front clips (near triggers). "best" my ass.
Perfect timing. I was thinking about getting a couple of the d-pad kits and now I will.
I have these, easy to install. Great for platformers and MK11
Not so much for games like blaz blue central fiction or King of fighters
Doing things like qcb+qcf×2 is pretty tricky
Games like Dragonball fighters and blaz blue Cross tag battle are fine as well due to only having to do single quarter circle inputs
Levi Looper did your kit take dreadfully long to ship?
Yeah im thinking of buying these for MK11 is it worth it?
@@skreeus9714 same did you buy them
I’m thinking about it for dbfz
Is doing qcf motions harder compared to the stock DS4?
Maximilian doesn't stop raving about his battle beaver controller. I put in my order last night and gladly wait for it. The dpad alone sold me. Added smart triggers and pro sticks as well. Can't wait to use it.
Thank you for the great video. I was nervous to do this but watching you made it easy!
Bought two sets of these for two controllers I have feels so much better and a lot more precise than the stock one 20 bucks plus shipping ain't to bad definitely worth it
I would so get these if they weren't $20 + shipping for 4 tiny pieces of plastic.
3d printed too. Should definitely be cheaper
You could use you're own just break them off carefully and smooth out the edges.
I paid over $40 for these as live in uk but defo worth it ? Adds a good touch to all the mods I use on the DS4
@@tiino_6725 seems easy to say, any tutorial?
It’s a demand people want but can’t easily get.
I am happy I paid for you guys to do it for me because I wouldn’t want to mess it up. Thanks Again.
Thanks for your video, but........ This is not for the faint of heart. Dealing with the controller is a very delicate procedure. As I learned. Tried to replace the d-pad and other buttons and because of the springs and other small pieces found I was over my head. Anyway for those that feel adventurous see this video and others before tearing down a controller.
Helpful installation video. Only part I struggled with was reattaching the ribbon cable right at the end. Managed to not break my controller, and gave it a bit of a much-needed clean. I do believe I damaged the clips holding the shell together, however that ain't really a big deal.
Performs like a dream. Actually feels like I'm pressing the buttons, unlike with the stock d-pad. Colour (white) doesn't quite match my Alpine Green controller, but whatever.
However I wouldn't recommend it if you're in the UK as you pay more for shipping than for the part itself.
Really good walk through, with great explanations man.
I just got mine in today from Battle Beavers! Ready for install. Thnx for the video
Question: is it still easy to press diagonals when they are separate buttons like this?
2nd question: does this make it softer or require less force to press? I get a lot of thumb pain using certain d’pads
I have been looking so goddamn long for a good dpad for fighting games, thanks i finaly found this..
thank you very much, the installation was easy thanks to this detailed demonstration.
I play left handed claw and use d-pad where a standard layout player would be using his buttons. This a god send! The standard d-pad is a hot mess when rapid inputs are given.
I didn't receive the clear dome piece in my package. What's the best way to contact you guys so I can receive the missing piece.
You can use any object as long as it stays within the d pad's middle.
Best controller company
thanks I just got my item from you guys increased tension 110g for my astro c40 you guys are great, I know old video, unrelated.
Fcking love you guys. Such great products.
You should do more videos on your controllers - talking about the build process etc. :)
Aight, I had to edit my comment for an update.
I originally complained about the shipping as it took about two weeks (any total recall fans?!) to arrive. That however wasn’t because of Battle Beaver but long in transit from carrier.
So while waiting I modified one of my controllers to replicate what the Battle Beaver setup does. In short, my homemade setup was better than factory d pad in that I got zero missed inputs, but nailing down the proper button height and button play (wiggling) isn’t as good as the Battle Beaver set. I prefer theirs over mine.
About the difference in gameplay or quality of life...HUGE UPGRADE! I’m always very skeptical as is why I made my own. These are a perfect bridge between a controller and arcade stick, I play both. How you ask? Like a stick, you have to actually input the command without any shortcuts. It’s not hard at all nor hard to adjust to with maybe 5-10min of practice to break old habits. It’s nowhere near the learning curve of a stick, no missed inputs or accidental inputs like a controller from the pad being one whole piece. d3 with Bryan Fury (I’m a Tekken player) doesn’t turn into an unwanted snake edge nor do qcf 3,4. Dark upper/ewgf are more consistent as are qcf/b moves now. Absolutely love these and will definitely do the same to PS5 controller. This video is also perfect on the installation.
Thinking of getting these for Tony Hawk. Never realized how awful the dpad was until I’ve botched combos because of the unresponsiveness.
I just ordered one of you controllers I can't wait
How long did it take to arrive?
@@javianbrown8627 it's says approximately 2 months and it also said that in an email from them, so I still have a week left till I receive it, my friend got one though and it's QUALITY.
Best custom controller Brand ever!!
I can't wait to get a controller from you guys. Only heard positive things. I'll put a order in soon hopefully
considering buying one, will they be compatible with the PS5?
How long do they take to build? been waiting 4 weeks now!
Thanks! My D-Pad wasnt working so I did some adjustments and its all fine!
are qcf motions still easy with the seperate d-buttons?
I need a new contact pad. When I pulled mine out the black contact circles fell out.
Battlebeaver parts are awesome. My only issue is the shipping(here in Canada) is too expensive. 😅
Can someone tell me what the cover that the d pad and shape keys press into is called? Cause mine doesn’t lay flat and I was wondering if that is a problem
May I know what is the difference between the D buttons and the Smart D pad?
my right stick moves on its own and it gets really frustrating. happened a week after I got the controller so it doesn’t make sense why it’s doing this 🤦
Hello, Hey can you explain to me what the beaver tails back buttons do and look like. How to install. I currently own a 4 button PS4 controller and wanted to upgrade my buttons? Any info is appreciated. Thanks
Is the Dome included with the d-pad are y'all still selling it?
I honestly don't think I got the little circle part that goes in the middle of the part under the nee d pad buttons.
Do you all not have the ps4 controller screwdrivers anymore because when I went to your website under the tool section, all I saw was the screwdrivers for the Xbox one, do they also work on the ps4 controller, too?
Do you know how much Input lag battle beaver PS4 controllers have when connected to pc?
Do you guys sell just the parts individually? Like thumb tension sticks your smart triggers? And you remappable buttons/board?
this video helped me very much. if you still playing with the factory d-pad you need to wake the fuck up. these are so much better in every way than the orig d pad.
Is there any possible way for battle beaver customs to add mouse click or soft click dpad buttons? I would spend a lot of money for one, I use the dpad a lot and would love mouse clicked dpad buttons
Holy shit, these kits are $24 each?!? I was about to buy 3, but I can only afford 1 😂
Can I just purchase the controller with the D Pad already changed by ‘Battle Beaver’ rather than D.I.Y? If so I’d like to order soon as to practice these buttons. Thank y ou
Question with the small dome will it still work?
I gotta wait 2 months for mine. No more boosts for sale😢
What does the in-between dot does? Is it really necessary?
Hey a little help here please, I was just on the website trying to buy this and it wasn’t there !! How else can I buy them ??
Thanks i been looking good one of these
mine BROKE within 2 months ...after having to wait 2 months for delivery
Good stuff the hardest part for me was to pry open the fromt and back of the controller
hello, is possible a mod like this for the old dual shock 1 or 2?
Do the pre built controllers come with individual roads or no?
Thanks for the video I may pick one up
Hey! If I send you guys my dualshock ps4 controller you guys can customize it? Sorry for asking I just heard sumone say it.
after hearing about how good your guys controllers and all the options i regret ordering my scuf the big reason i got it was cause i thought itd be here soon here i am almost a month later and its still in the proccesing stage smh... besides performance is there gonna be more graphic designs that we can get for these grips shell color etc?
Hello, I own a Battle Beaver controller and I couldn't be happier. One thing I would like is to upgrade it to interchangeable thumb sticks. I also have the 4 re- map buttons on back. I would also like to see if I can move the bottom left /right buttons upwards? Please let me know if you can help? Thanks for a great product.
Thanks for the video i will be buting this kit since ps4 controllers will be on sale soon.
My controller doesnt react after I opened it and cleaned it. any idea?
Love Battle Beaver!
The hardest part for me was finding all the pieces, despite them being nicely lined up, against the wall.
Am I able to buy a controller with d pad installed?
Hello,
I am in the market for a new controller as my stream is starting to take off and I want to stay competitive with a professional controller, I will either be choosing between battle beaver or scuff. I would like to choose battle beaver as you guys offer buttons on the back in place of paddles but I will most likely go with scuff as I live in Switzerland and the shipping is much quicker! Is there any way we can ship as soon as possible so that I can go with you guys rather than scuff? Best!
would this work on a ps1 dpad?
Can i install this on a ps1 controller
did work with dead d pad ( no arrow work ) ?
My clicky dpad down stopped working
could i use this kit on ps3 and ps2 controllers?
Is Cuh-zct2e jds-55? I need to know cause I need replacement conductive film my dpad isn't working
Anup Poudel Yes it is. If the conductive film is an issue you can try to clean the connection point between the film and the board with a q-tip and isopropyl alcohol.
Thank you but it needs replacement I guess cleaning didn't help.
Wonder if you do Gamecube type ZL and ZR upgrades?
Please, teatch how to fix Analog problem on PS4 control.
When you need to keep the analog pressed to keep running. (Instead of just press once).
Sorryforbadenglish
Its probably a poor connection , i had a similar problem with the x and square button and had to get a thicker piece for the underside to register you pressing it
@@verdaqq in the begging, I thoutgh that the diference of walk and sprint was most sftware instead of mechanical.
So, since you press R3 once, you would run until you stop pulling R3 foward. And to run again, just press it again one time.
But them, my control stop sprint when I'm not keep pressing R3, and I realize that It is a mechanical problem.
In both controlers. :(
SFBE
@@samuelhmff mate what game are you playing, usually there's an option in the settings that allow a press to sprint option, usually the game is preset to hold to sprint but you may have disabled that option somehow
@@kaneluca4879 wow I'll check that out.
@@kaneluca4879 It is Apex, but i coudnt find this option:(
Oh my god this is going to change my life. For so many years my inputs have been hit and miss for back forwards moves. Idk how I only found this is 2019 but mk11 will probably be my best mk game just because I'm going to have this new dpad that isn't shit like the PS4 one
Do you get your inputs correctly now? Thats my problem I do back forward and half the time I jump .mine are suppose to be here friday
@@therealbigd5576 I didn't end up getting these I just have to press the normal dpad properly which is a bit tricky to master.
Tbh for the money i don't think these things are worth it I've heard of some issues of them and. I think I will wait for a cheaper clone or maybe just make tjemyself
How come Sony make such bad Dpad for something so simple, why not implemen from the start like 4 different buttons on Dpad
Hi, is there any option for a controller that already has the custom d-pads installed? Thanks
Yeah go tho their website
Would this work with a xbox one d pad?
This will be perfect for Tekken and DJ Max.
Also is there a way to open the ps4 controller without breaking the tabs?
I can't fight this kit on their website pls help
Are these buttons 3d printed? They seem rather rough and unfinished on the surface area. Almost as if I can see the printer lines. They just don't look "finished."
@@msi._ thanks for the info! I’ll assume it’s accurate as the original question was intended for the manufacturer yet they do not reply. Hard pass on these.
Do they work for PS5 DualSense?
I put it back together and the controller works fine, the only problem is that the USB port no longer works so I can't charge my controller. Please help
There is a ribbon cable, if you plug it in wrong your controller cant connect via usb and can't charge anymore. Just open up your controller and plug the ribbon cable in properly
@@kushalaxx Yes thank you I figured it out. The problem was that the ribbon cable came out after I closed the shell
Wo kann ich genau das in Deutschland bestellen ?
there is some of ps4 dualshock4 have dbutton instead of dpad from manifactures especially playstation france
If i ever get this it will only be for MK it is the only game i play on dpad. For everything else i use analog stick or srcade stick. I just can't stand doing quarter circle motions on dpad and getting blisters on my fingers. Been using analog sticks since the Ps1 Dualshock 1.
Do you make shipment to Turkey with turkish lira?
Var, d-pad aldım zamanında, dolar üzerinden ödemeyi sitelerinde gercekleştiriyosun kargoyla geliyor
@@bloodmoontalon saol Bilgi için
doesn't this make it not really a d-pad?
Please make a version where the ridge that keeps buttons from falling out of the controller is maybe 1/16 of an inch taller, or thicker. So basically once the controller is together, the 4 contact points will be roughly halfway pressed in. Then the buttons will be more sensitive, and it'll be much easier to do circular motions in fighting games, and other d-pad heavy games.
where did you get that case?
i dont know if this dpad is gonna help but i order it. i had to pay 17.50 for the shipping hope its worth it,
What’s the big square button called on the top of the controller
It's called the big rectangular button
Hi ! I can't purchase on your site ! I'm from Romania (UE) ...... thanks !
Ooh. Good thing a watch the video before installing. Was wondering what that little clear dome was for. Oof! Question: What's the material? And would you be able to suggest what paint if I wish to custom paint the buttons. Please. Thank you.
Is there a tutorial to fix the d-pad
Everytime i try to put back my case my triggers are always coming out
Find a video to help with that. There's a bunch.
I am gonna order one
for ps5 controller?
Looking forward to this arriving. Has to be great for mk11
Mine broke 30 days pf casual use becareful they dont give full refund
Goblin Slayer yea? How did they break?
@@capcomfan82 the r2 stoped working 3 weeks into the use. And on the 4 week compleatly stoped working. And i contacted suport. They gave a bs excuse like do you smash the controler or throw it "Keep in mind i smoke weed 24/7 and keep my controlers in special cases" I play cod with fliped seting so r2 is my granade. Which i dont use often. So i was kinda baffled by the whole insident of how they treated the call. And when i sent the controler back which i bought for 120 they sent me a 80 $ refund
@@capcomfan82 and i did notice that ur probably refering to the d pad thing but dontntrust the company. Thats a im saying
Goblin Slayer if they fixed it and sent you 80 thats fair to me
