  • First off I don't speak very much throughout this, but it's pretty straight forward. This is a shell and button replacement from a $10 gold controller from China. They are all over ebay you cant miss them. They are almost always the version 1 model. I am showing you how it still fits on a version 2 controller. Most controllers I have come across are the version 2. So it's a cheap way to get a unique looking controller.

    Thank you. This video helped out a lot. I used a thin metal mini spoon that cleams ears to peel of the board. It only took me 1 minute to get it off

    Thanks for the video. I used to repair and mod PS3/PS4 controllers many years ago, but never had to modify the share and options buttons until now with the Chinese replacements.

    thank you so much! I used this tutorial to clean up the juice I got in my controller. I used a q tip and alcohol to clean it. This helped so much! :))))))))))

    Next time to make it easier use a heat gun or hair dryer to warm up the adhesive and then take it off, then warm it up again to make it stick 👍

    Before reading other's comments. I would like to thank you for the video. Along with about 4 or 5 others it helped me take apart and put back together my controler. Not pleasant at first as when assembled the lights were not working which was not the original problem. But it turned out the last ribbon cable insertion was the problem and a little readjustment got the lights to light up whilst still inserting. Starngely the problem of the x button not working was not resolved. It still did not work. So I was thinking it must be clearly dead. No amount of button pressing would get the 'x' button working. So as it was declared dead I allowed my self some extra well. It seemed to make no sense having seen inside becuase I could not imagine where the contacts were -But knowing there seemed all that insulation between the button resulting in me giving a forced push to almost bent the whole plastic fram. It worked. So in with the screws and not fingers crossed. How long it will work I do not know as it was intimitant before. But once it starts working it can work some minutes or an hiur. I will need to see. But would like to thank you for your helpful video. Thank You.

    Does that touch pad actually still work???? I had to stop the video, as an electronic repairmen I can't watch metal tools used for prying up PCBs. A hairdryer would have loosen up the glue enough to get it off.

      @firewolfpelkey63 3 года назад +1

      I agree with you, however he did say right before that the touch part doesn’t work with the gold touch button anyways so even if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter.

  • @Vic-qp1gk

    Anybody know if you can use slim/pro bottom shells for original controllers? I swapped the tops, but OG controller has different top shell thus I had to send my slim/pro shells back. But I can't figure out for the life of me if the bottom is the same since I didn't get the bottom to play around with... so, can you use pro bottom shell with OG controller, anyone know?

    @gagegriffith6503 6 лет назад +3

    So does the touch pad even still work? You should never scrape a circuit board and you bent n crammed metallic edged tools at it, so I'm curious.

    • @taylorbrown3892
      @taylorbrown3892  6 лет назад +2

      This one doesn't, but only because of the metallic finish. None of the metallic touch pads will work, it screws with the sensor. That said I've done this method on normal ones and it works just fine. And the metallic ones will still work as buttons just not as touchpads, and honestly I've never once used the touchpad the entire time I've owned a PS4. but if that's something you use a lot, don't install a metallic touchpad.

      shouldnt had done what he did. next time use a hair dryer (or if you have a heat gun) to melt the glue under the touchpad which makes it easier and much more likely to finish and properly get it off and on
