Custom Xbox Controller Mods in Perth: Shells, Triggers and Drift Proof Sticks
Controllers · 27 July 2026 · 4 min read
Every Xbox Series controller rolls off the line looking exactly the same. If you want yours to actually feel like yours, whether that is a one of a kind shell, clicky competition triggers or sticks that never drift, there is a proper mod for it. We fit eXtremeRate mod kits to Xbox Series X and S controllers in Perth, with every controller rebuilt, tested and backed by our 30 day warranty.
What can be modded on an Xbox Series controller?
More than most people realise. The Xbox mod range covers:
- Full custom shell swap, a new front and back housing plus a matching button set, in glossy, matte, clear, soft touch, textured grip and themed finishes
- Faceplate swap, a front shell change for a fresh look without the full rebuild
- Custom button sets, ABXY, D-pad, triggers and bumpers in chrome, clear or custom colour finishes
- Clicky trigger and bumper kit, short tactile mouse click presses in place of the long stock pull
- Trigger stops, shorter trigger travel for quicker shots in competitive play
- Thumbstick and grip set, metal or interchangeable thumbsticks plus textured rubber grip panels for a more secure hold
Each of these is a proper teardown and rebuild, not a snap on cover. Your original board and internals go into the new parts, and we test every button, trigger and stick before handover.
The drift fix: hall effect sticks
The most popular Xbox upgrade is not cosmetic at all. Standard sticks read movement through contact pads that physically wear down, which is why nearly every controller drifts eventually. Our hall effect upgrade replaces them with sticks that read position through magnetic sensors instead, nothing touches, nothing wears out, and the drift never comes back. It is $40 for a single stick or $60 for the pair, it fits Xbox Series and Xbox One controllers, and it pairs naturally with a shell swap since the controller is already apart on the bench.
Mod your controller or just buy an Elite?
Fair question, and the honest answer depends on what you are chasing. If back paddles are the main feature you want, buy the Elite, paddles are not part of our Xbox mod range and we would rather say so than talk you into something else. But know what an Elite does not fix. It still uses the same wear prone stick technology as a standard pad, so it can develop drift just like the controller you are replacing. Modding the pad you already own lets you pick exactly the features that matter to you, a grippier back, faster triggers, a shell nobody else has, and a hall effect upgrade gives it something no Elite has out of the box, sticks that cannot drift.
How made to order booking works
The custom mods are made to order, which is how the range stays wide without shelves of old stock. You pick your mod and a drop off time on the booking page and pay online, and we order your kit straight away, so you get fresh parts in the exact design you chose. Kits usually take one to two weeks to arrive. Your drop off time stands as booked, so bring your controller in as normal, and if the kit is still on its way when you drop in, the job simply waits on the delivery. One thing to know before you pay, change of mind refunds are not available once your parts are on order, because the kit is bought specifically for your job.
The hall effect upgrade is on our booking page under Xbox and ready to book now. For the custom mods, check the booking page for the current range, and if there is a finish or kit you want that is not listed yet, message us and we will see what we can source.
