In this part of the video, the creator demonstrates how to add four extra buttons to an Xbox X or Sirius S controller, providing a cost-effective alternative to pricey Pro controllers. The modification process involves a step-by-step guide, with links to necessary parts provided in the video description. The additional buttons enhance control, dexterity, and response time, especially for first-person shooter games, and can help reduce finger strain.
The creator unpacks the kit, showing the back shell, hardware tools (including Torx and Phillips screwdrivers, and a pry tool), handles, buttons, clamps, a PCB board, flux ribbon cables, screws, and a warranty card. The first step involves installing buttons on the back case, using a Phillips screwdriver to secure them in place.

In this part of the video, the presenter begins by discussing the installation of a bracket labeled K3 and K4, along with the insertion of corresponding buttons. The next step involves disassembling a controller by removing certain trims to expose screws. The presenter illustrates how to remove these screws using a T8 screwdriver to open the controller. After opening the controller, the video explains disconnecting the battery from the back case, placing additional buttons labeled K1 and K2, and preparing for soldering. Tips for using soldering equipment effectively, such as maintaining a clean soldering iron tip and using thin soldering wire, are also provided.
00:06:00
In this part of the video, the speaker explains the process of cleaning and preparing for soldering. They emphasize removing certain cables and screws to clear the area and using SMD remover oil to facilitate solder removal. The speaker highlights the need to unscrew T6 screws and remember the correct positioning of parts for reassembly. They describe removing a ribbon cable and aligning it with holes for the screws. Finally, they outline the numerous soldering points that need attention and recommend using a very fine soldering wire due to the small size of the soldering points.
00:09:00
In this part of the video, the presenter ensures all solder points are connected, places the microphone back onto the board, and aligns a strip with the designated slit. Using tape to secure the strip, the presenter then addresses two larger holes by using thicker wire for improved stability and adherence.
00:12:00
In this segment, the video demonstrates how to test the soldering connections of buttons on a circuit board. The presenter connects the controller to a USB-C port using a cable from the kit and confirms that all lights, corresponding to the buttons, are properly lit, indicating successful soldering. They identify the L3 button as an example, showing how a lit light confirms a good connection. After confirming all connections, the presenter proceeds to attach the board with T6 screws. Finally, they prepare to solder additional wires, specifying the sequence from top to bottom as black, black and gray, black, and then red and black again.
00:15:00
In this part of the video, the presenter completes the soldering and proceeds to connect the wires, positioning the left wire at the top and the right wire at the bottom. They then assemble the joysticks and faceplate, attach the back shell, and secure it with T8 screws. The presenter demonstrates how to map the back paddles to the buttons, explaining the process of entering mapping mode using a power source like USB or batteries, switching to the right, and pairing the button with the back paddle by pressing them simultaneously. They also show how to unmap a button and perform a final test to ensure all paddles are functioning correctly. The segment concludes by highlighting that this setup is a cost-effective alternative to expensive Pro back pedals.
00:18:00
In this part of the video, the speaker talks about testing the controllers and expresses satisfaction with their performance, noting that they worked very well. He concludes by thanking the viewers and signing off, indicating that more content will follow in future videos.
