eXtremeRate Multi-Colors Luminated DTF V3 LED Kit for PS5 Controller

In this review the eXtremeRate Multi-Colors Luminated DTF V3 LED Kit is evaluated for PS5 owners who want a clear visual upgrade to their controller. The bottom line: this kit is best for people with PS5 controller models BDM-010 or BDM-020 who value customizable lighting and a plug-and-play install, because the LEDs deliver vivid color modes and the side-light design reduces glare while syncing with the controller power.

Key Features

• Model compatibility: Only compatible with PS5 Controller BDM-010 and BDM-020, which avoids fit issues when the correct model is used.
• 7 colours and 9 modes: Multiple preset colours and blink modes provide noticeable visual variety without extra apps.
• Side light design: The LEDs are positioned to be less dazzling and create a softer ambient glow around buttons and sticks.
• Plug and play installation: The kit uses stick and plug parts so no soldering is required, making installation approachable for hobbyists.
• Controls via buttons: Lighting is adjusted through the controller buttons so changes can be made quickly in-game or at the menu.
• Compatibility with other kits: Works with eXtremeRate Clicky trigger and Face Clicky kits, and RISE remap kits, allowing broader customization.

Who It's For

This kit targets PS5 players who own the BDM-010 or BDM-020 controller variants and want a striking visual update without extensive electronics work. It is well suited to modders who already use compatible eXtremeRate remap or clicky kits and want consistent styling across parts.

It is not for owners of BDM-030 or BDM-040 controllers or those who expect flawless long-term durability; some users report parts or light rings failing under heavy use and increased battery drain, so competitive players who need fully reliable hardware or those with unsupported controller models should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Easy installation with no soldering makes the upgrade accessible to most hobbyists.
• Vibrant multi-colour options and syncing with controller power create a clear visual improvement.
• Compatible with other eXtremeRate kits for a cohesive customization setup.

Cons

• Only fits BDM-010 and BDM-020 controllers, so compatibility must be checked before purchase.
• Some customers report durability issues and increased battery drain in regular use.
