      @MichaelStephenLordReserei1987 5 лет назад +1

      I guess an option would be to go crafty. Disassemble the controller, use sandpaper (maybe a fine grit) on the white parts, spray with plastic primer, find some beige spray paint meant for plastics, and a clear coat.
      I build plastic models kits. So I have those things on hand, so it's not a big deal for me. Although, gathering such materials for what come be a one-time use, it might come to anywhere between £/$20-25. At that point, I bet if you did a little digging, you could probably find some custom parts in that colour for cheaper.
      I mean I have a 3D printer, and was originally going to buy some PLA impregnated with wood particles, and 3D print a faceplate. So it would not only look like wood, sand like wood, stain like wood, and feel like it too. But since it would be a one-time use, and I can't think of any other things I would need to print in Wood PLA, it works out cheaper to just buy this faceplate.

    Excellent video, thank you. I bought an expensive controller from an online company who specialise in bespoke shells. But like all my controllers they dont last more than a couple years because Im fat fisted and squeeze them too hard and damage the joy stick mechanism. So when I saw this video i practiced on my old broken controllers and then swapped my bespoke shell onto my current working controller. The screws were tricky to remove but once i found the right technique it was easy. Very pleased to have my bespoke shell in use again. And now when I brake this controller I know I can swap over the shell again!!

  • @atomicskull6405
    @atomicskull6405 4 года назад

    When putting the screw in turn CCW till you feel a click (the screw will drop slightly in the hole when his happens) and then turn clockwise. This ensures the screw threads line up and you don't end up crossthreadding the screw. Also only turn till the screw stops and then tighten a little bit using two fingers on the screwdriver and no more than that.

    • @therealstanyz
      @therealstanyz 5 лет назад +1

      I have the exact same one of the video. First off I had some starting trouble because the holes for the x, y and b buttons were slightly too small which made them feel mushy when pressing, so I had to give it a slight sandpaper rub for that to work as it should. Ever since (for like a year now) I have had absolutely no trouble since. It doesn't wear off, it doesn't get dirty as much as the original and its just good. I don't use it that much to be fair though, I use it on PC so mostly I use keyboard and mouse.

    Thanks for the video. I bought cordless screwdriver for the first time (Tacklife cordless, USB chargeable) and have just gone a bit crazy with testing it out--it comes with a Torx drivers. Now it's got me of customizing my wireless Xbox One controller for Windows (I'm a PC gamer, use nVidia Gamestream to play PC games on my Fire TV and smartphone), which is basically just an Xbox One S controller.
    I was going to buy some wood impregnated PLA and print out one since I have 3D Printer, and people have either scanned the original faceplate/shell, or 3D modelled it from scratch. But it works out cheaper to just buy this.
    Sidenote:
    If you don't have a pry tool, you could use something like a guitar pick (I play guitar) or something that's credit card-like.
