    Trying to take apart this controller with precision while listening to this music is equivalent to trying to get pumped at the gym listening to church songs. Its not damn possible.

      Frankie Dez_X5 Honestly it is much easier to get pumped to church songs as many of them are actually lively these days.

    Listen people this is a perfect how to video. This video should have no dislikes. If you do for some reason mess your controller up.. Put it back together the best way you can go buy a controller and return the messed up one as the new one. Never pay for a controller again

    To all the people complaining and saying buy the controller on that color like have you seen how much a fucking controller costs . Prices are ridiculous for the colored ones. The go from 60 to 100 or more. The shell is only like 12 to 20 bucks and you can change the color to your controller to whatever you want. I like the video it explains it very well.

    guys its really hard to get the shell off because its so tight together, be careful or you'll snap the motor wires like the guy has done so in this video. if you snap the motor wires your vibration on the controller will brake.

    I already had to take my controller apart to replace the circuit ribbon and it dawned on me that I could do this and have the controller of my dreams! I think I know what I need but I cringed when you took apart the touchpad. I think i"ll leave mine black for the moment. Taking apart the controller is a lot easier than what most would think. You just need patience and be easy with it. Rip it apart and you'll need either a new part or an entirely new controller. I bet you could make a killing doing this for people who are too afraid to do it on their own.

The triggers, options and share button seemed to all be impossible to remove for me
