I doesn't look much harder than the previous just an extra antenna wire and different lb/rb placements. They probably just don't want people to make profits from shell swaps, since 'exclusive' controllers go for much higher even though the only difference is the shell. I've modded both my Xbox one s controllers and their extremely easy.
Thank you, after one year, my Y button didn't work 100%. I tried rubbing alcohol, which didn't work. Typical Microsoft button error, at least I thought that. Ordered a new one, the buttons on the new one worked, but I didn't like the feeling, I thought I just have to use it the controller for a while, and it will feel the same as my other one. Months later, still the same feeling, so I searched for a video and found yours, tried my luck With this tutorial it was quite easy, thank you for doing both dissemble and reassemble. Well, end of the story, I found dirt on the rubber where the Y button contact is, on the board. A big thank you again!
I get that you claimed the Xbox controller was disassembled, but it wasn’t actually. You still had the triggers, springs, and Pins in - which is what I’m looking for when I look up a full disassemble.
lol "Thanks to the magnetic base your screws stay on the mat and you will not lose them" ... he lifts it up and 1 screw immediately disappears hahhahahah
Thanks! My 10 month old daughter tossed her older brother's controller in the toilet and I thought it was toast. Took it apart, cleaned it all with alcohol and blew it out with compressed air, then reassembled with your fantastic guide, and IT WORKS!
Thank you for this! My black controller started to have stick drift, and I found a good deal on a red controller, but I'm not a big fan of the color, so I completely disassembled both using this guide and mixed and matched colors and put them back together, both controllers work great! (Aside from the preexisting stick drift on the other one).
I'm very thankful for the clear guide. I don't understand why they made so hard to open unlike the PS4 controllers. I literally needed an explaination video to do it. lol
Thanks, because of you I was able to find the source of why my LB button sinks in instead of clicking! Darn tiny part of it snapped! Thank you! I’m able to replace that part thanks to your vid.
I found the problem. Thank you. It turns out there is a little piece of plastic that has partially snapped. I have never dropped my romote, and it's only 1 year's old. It just happens so quickly. I have fixed it by putting very strong glue on the bit of plastic attached to the LB trigger. 🙂
TY! BTW, a commercial played around the 5:47 mark, and I skipped it. Next thing I see is that coffee...why can't I SKIP this commercial 🤔? Oohhhhh😮, part of the video🤦♂️😂🤣. Thanks again. Super helpful & my controller is 💯
Why didn't you included the sync button in the tear down? I've just spent the past hour putting my controller back together and I know have to take it apart because of that :(
After two years of usage, X key got stuck completely. Thanks to this guide, I've managed to disassemble, clean and re assemble the controller. Had to use T6 and T9H screwdrivers. Everything works fine. Thanks.
These crewdrivers cannot be bought legally in my country so i guess i wont be able to dissasembly mine to clean it damn i have to buy new one that sucks
I had a house fire and my xbox power button melted from the inside now i cant turn it on by pushing the console power on button i opened it up and its the spring clip thing that melted do you have any for sell or know where i can get it?
I've bought a new motherboard for my series Controller, and -Tada- theres is no software on it. Where can i get this for the Motherboard and hoe can I install it? Cheers ❤
Motherboard with analog bases costs more than most new series x controllers. Better to look for a sale and then just buy a controller for parts (or just use it as is)
Question does the top sync button come off too? (The button on top in between the LB and RB button) I am interchanging the white series S controller and the black series X controller to mismatch the color and buttons. I also see that the RB and LB buttons are still one piece like the older controllers. I wont be changing the trigger buttons just the bumper buttons piece. Can please someone that works on these let me know if that sync button comes out too. Thanks! 😀
Batteries leaked acid i used alcohol and white vinegar button y working again. Will the board or y button damage soon? I notice on test when i press y the red win 10 led gamepad tester app its showing red led a tad dim compared to other buttons.
Hello sir I have problem with my controller it wasnt calibrated my analogs didn't stick to the calibration wall and right ananolg in cod wouldn't stop just moving right and left I took it to a so called technensian and he changed shocks for 3 or 4 times last time I tested it and everything was normal but when I returned home and wanted to play after 5 min controller got crazy left analog only want to left d pads jumping 2 up and down I recalibrated it fixed but 5 min later it got crazy again this time right shock only fast turning to left and left and right sides were changed.after every successfully calibration its goes crazy again Please help me is this issue from board or shocks.its been 10 days and not fixed yet.
Hello, I have a question. Is the button to pair the controller a loose button or is it tight? The same button on the Elite Controller is a loose button. Why i ask that? The button on the Elite Controller rattles when shaken. Thank you for the answer.
Ciao ho smontato il pad perché non dà segni di vita ma quando stacco l'antenna sinistra riprende a funzionare sai il perché? E che funzionalità avrebbe questa antenna? Grazie
Damn guys you disassembled the whole controller, but didn't torn apart analog sticks module - the reason of the kost frequent problems with stick drifts. Well that's kinda... Odd I'd say. The video helped me remove the pads though lol
I love the speed of the actual assembly and reassembly. A tad faster please, I was 4 steps ahead the entire time. Oh wait, if I'm an expert, then why do I even need this video?
@@bekahc4376 for me it’s a stick issue, my controller had a lot of abuse by the previous owner. So now I gotta re-solder a new stick. Though if it happened after you you did the replacement, a bit of dust might have gotten in, I suggest you scrub it with 91% isopropyl alcohol and a new tooth brush.
I ended up figuring it out. I was playing with the old pieces and realized the new piece didn’t have the magnets in it 🤦🏻♀️I’m just glad it was a simple fix!
Im hoping someone can help me. Ive taken apart a few xbox one and one s controllers with no issue. The series x on the other hand i have one problem. The 2 black antenna cable will absolutely not click back in place. Ive lined it up countless ways. Literally spent hours trying. Anyone have any idea? The one s controllers had the same cables and it was easy to click back in place. Thanks in advance. Without those in my controller cant hold a connection to the xbox.
Hey I had the same issue. What I did was put the wires back onto the contact point and tape it it there with black insulation tape. Make sure it’s touching the contacts before putting the controller back together. If you can solder it back even better.
Hey man, my b button works but only with some decent pressure, any idea what it could be? I just got it refurbished thru gamestop and it has a really weird color pattern that id like to keep so i dont want to return it
So I’m having trouble finding the right tool. I supposedly have a torx T8 yet it seems too big for the nut. Idk but it seems like it’s a completely deferent nut than a T8. Any thoughts? Oh and my controller is a Xbox Series S
@@asmodeuso6 actually it’s not just any Torx screw it has to be specific to the Xbox. The Torx tool it uses has a slight gap at the end tip of the tool, that’s why regular Torx tools are not fitting
Very useful if you have a lot of controllers and want to mix and match colors for a super custom look
Why'd they make it so much harder than the previous generation xbox one controller? 😕
Probably warranty? Plus a lot of corprorations seem to be highly against businesses making money off repairing or modifying their products probably due to wanting to charge or sell more.
.
A lot of big company’s are making it much much harder to repair devices because of warranty
They also wanted a lot of removable parts because of customization! :)

woa, thank you, just fixed mine from sticky button issue, dust accumulation
Awesome video. The X and A buttons were sticky. Took it apart, washed it and now they work great.
I'm very thankful for the clear guide. I don't understand why they made so hard to open unlike the PS4 controllers. I literally needed an explaination video to do it. lol
Excellent walk through. I've done this enough that I have it handled, but the hairdryer for the label was a nice touch! Thanks.
Thanks, because of you I was able to find the source of why my LB button sinks in instead of clicking! Darn tiny part of it snapped! Thank you! I’m able to replace that part thanks to your vid.
Getting the rumble motors back in was a pain since I have to lift the back part up with tweezers which feels hard.
Same problem I'm having I can't get it
My left analog stick wasn’t working when I would go up and this helped me fix the analog stick by removing it
Thank you for this! I was able to get it taken apart to clean and back together much better than if I were to try myself! 🙏💯
"bro its just a prank" the prank : 5:34

Same fucking thing happened to me but after 7 months no clue how it jus became sticky all of sudden
fixed my controller thanks man
Really helpful but now my lb and rb buttons sound way too loud and feel a little stiff, how can I fix that?
Do you know what to do if your Xbox controller is overheating
Well that saved me a ton money. Thanks
Beware, my XBox Series S wireless controller required Torx Security T6 and T8. Regular Torx T6 and T8 are different and did not remove the screws.
This is nice but try using a real voice next time. This robot voice is unnaturally excited about everything.
literally cry about it lmao
@@ugglass7277 I know now why you cry. You stay. I go. No following. Johnny-5 is alive.
Current gen console controllers PS5 and Xbox SX or S are prone to drifting at inopportune times.
U forgot to show how to put sync button I noticed when I was managing wires
Thanks man
Of course they are T8's lol the most uncommon torx size that doesn't come in most tool sets.
this guy has some MAN HANDS. 2:30
Where's the part with tiny Black wires with gold ends I need to connect one
the first screws in mine gotta be a t7 bc the 8 is too big but 6 is too small🤦🏾
For some reason my controller won’t turn on now. I used all the right tools and didn’t scratch anything hmm. Weird
These crewdrivers cannot be bought legally in my country so i guess i wont be able to dissasembly mine to clean it damn i have to buy new one that sucks
I used my torx t8 screwdriver to remove one of the screws, but it won't let me remove the others, why?
Another video I watched said they were T9. I got a kit with T2 - T10 to cover everything.
the outside and inside screws are different you need tr8 for the outside and tr6 for the inside
I did something stupid, there's no way you could make a video reassembling the entire control step by step
what screw size or is it to unscrew it im losing my mind trying to get them out
I had to use a T9 on mine for the back, not a t8
the triggers are very hard to get the covers on
is the trigger motor the same size or the left one is bigger?
Probably the same size. I know the controller rumble are not the same size
One of the best tutorials
I had a house fire and my xbox power button melted from the inside now i cant turn it on by pushing the console power on button i opened it up and its the spring clip thing that melted do you have any for sell or know where i can get it?
