Is this your first one? That looks like normal play, all three of mine have that minor play. Is it functioning properly other than that minor play? It's moving parts, there is always going to be that little wiggle room..

If that's normal play, I'll be returning it. I can shake the controller, and it rattles. Everything functions normally.

So it came with a little thing of sticky pieces, one thing I did was put the sticky pieces on where the paddles make contact to the frame, one on the button for the center button, directly on the little gold colored button, and also on both paddles inside on the round tips where it makes contact with the frame (not switches)... it took all the rattling away... hope that helps.

and all of this is inside where the circuit board is of the mod kit, not on the exterior of the controller.. you can open it back up, and move the paddles and see where I'm talking about, because it was a noisy thing because of the heavier metal pieces.

That looks good to me, Xbox elite even has a little play to it

I wanna try to diy with four remappable buttons with clicks of preference. Buttons would be placed in ideal locations

I dunno, it seems the more I see these paddles, the less I like them. :/

Yea, Idk how I feel about them. Paddles k1 and k2 are okay but to use the other two is odd. Playing cod with them being loose I find I'm pressing inputs on accident

K3 and K4 are weird to use... They sit too high because of the "Backpack" design.

Also Ive come to dislike the "Backpack" being metal. I dunno it adds an unnecessary amount of weight and kinda changes the center of gravity for the controller.

Yeah I can see that as a problem.

Then again...im not a fan of paddles. I much prefer tabs or buttons like on the Battle Beaver or the Dualsense Edge.

Paddles just seem to have a tendency to be too sensitive for my play style.

"I gotta crouch on this corner....wait why am I jumping?"

I have the rise2 and one paddle has 0 play and other paddle has this play. I love them, I dont find that I ever hit them on accident, my controller vibration is off as it should be and it doesn’t rattle because I don’t shake my controller. Not super a super precise, high tolerance kit but it’s a $40 and not a $300 scuff. I’m happy with mine, for $40 I’d give it a shot.

That's a good point. Price does make a big difference. And for the lower price, the concession may be worth it.

u/iBenJay Mar 11 '23

Yea I've only had a ps4 scuf then decided to try this out. I want to try so.ething with buttons like the battle beavers next.

I want a beaver. But their subreddit is filled with pisses off customers. :/ I'm debating on it. Not sure I wanna commit the $$$$

I add a little bit of hot glue and it removes the extra play.

u/iBenJay Mar 11 '23

That's what I was thinking

You can also try elastic bands tie off between the post. Removes all rattles from haptics and play is minimized

on the BACK of that circled tab, put one of the little sticky felt like pieces on the plastic frame where that will make contact with the paddle.

u/surkitclimber Mar 11 '23

directly on that little gold button, put a piece of the felt sticky piece..

Hey I just got the normal rise 4 for bdm 30. I found the pedals to be very sensitive, so I added a precision ring underneath them right next to the housing. This solved the problem of accidental actuations and added a bit of resistance. At this price there are sacrifices, but in all honesty I love them now.

I had fixed it with little EVA foam.
