I’m planning a complex "double-mod" for my PS5 DualSense (BDM-050) and need to verify a specific technical step.
Current Setup:
I have already installed the eXtremeRate SPARK kit. The back paddles and the integrated trigger-stop functionality (L2/R2 clicks) are working perfectly.
The Goal:
I want to add the eXtremeRate Whole Set - Light Version Clicky Kit V2.
I specifically need the L1/R1 Clicky (which are not available in the V3 Tactile kit).
I want the Face Buttons (D-pad & Action) to have a clicky feel but with an actuation force close to stock (hence choosing Light V2 over Strong).
I am also installing an eXtremeRate Front Shell (Faceplate) to ensure a better fit and eliminate housing gaps.
The Question regarding "The Surgery":
I’ve seen a video (https://youtu.be/SouIN\_DZJFM?t=2015) where the L2/R2 ribbons were simply cut off from a Clicky Kit to make it compatible with a RISE4 Plus MAX.
Since the SPARK kit has the same integrated trigger-stop architecture as the Plus MAX, I assume the process is identical.
Can I safely cut the L2/R2 ribbons on the V2 Light Kit and still have fully functional L1/R1 and Face Buttons?
