Been using this guide for a while to clean my controller. Today I had to disassemble it almost entirely as the A button was starting to be sticky and not as tactile as the others. After a little trouble (screw stripped requiring me to use some pliers and some troubleshooting with the battery) I'm glad to say my controller feels fine again! We love easily serviceable products. Thanks a lot for the great guide!

I was tired of my current controller so when I got one that was better I came back to this one and thought it would be fun to dismantle it. I have learned that I have been nearly dismantling it my entire use time as I would stick sharp things in the sides of the covers to get all the dirt out.

Yeah, those initial covers are strangely way harder to get off than the Xbox One versions. It looked identical to me, but yet I had to use way more force than I thought would have been necessary to open the Series controller. (I already took my controller apart to remove the rumble motors. 😁 I hate rumble, so I always turn it off, which just makes the motors annoying dead weight. I prefer removing them and having a lighter controller.)

Having fixed a fair number of Xbox one controllers, found that in the great majority of cases, they had drift issues. This is a relatively simple fix - the small circular 3 pin resistor discs that are on the x and y axis, or, in other cases, new Alps pots (although this means more soldering). Now, if the controllers were made to a more modular design, there would be a lot less hassle - if the discs and pots could fit onto the board and be held in by some kind of bracket that lets them be switched out when they inevitably wear out. Like an IC socket but with a retainer clip. Also, those Torx security screws are a complete PITA to anyone that hasn’t got those screw bits. Not as big a PITA as replacing the top middle section of an Elite series one controller, though - those things are a nightmare!!

Made getting those first 2 plates off look easy as hell, took me forever to do it 🤣 Apparently the rubber bit had come up after years of use, and the glue became exposed causing the trigger to stick when I would hold it down for extended shooting and mining. Took the rubber bit out and wiped away the glue, then lightly scraped the bits of glue that wouldn't come out off, then went back for a follow-up wipe with the qtip. Was annoying as hell trying to tap fire too in Halo. It is all good now tho thankfully

I didn't have to completely disconnect the top and bottom motherboard because the headphone jack isn't soldered into the board. It's got a metal contact point. So once you unlatch the top motherboard, the headphone jack will basically fall out. I used a thin safety pin to jostle the broken end of my headphone jack out of the port.

New to all this, so sorry if this is a dumb question, Is the “click” that you actually feel in the dpad from the pad itself or from the circuit board? I got a brand new controller and up on the dpad functions but does not “click” and trying to see if I should mess with it myself or send it in for warranty.

Edit: I learned to repair my controller. I've soldered quite a few bumper buttons (and other components) on a 360 and One controller for many years. For my One controller, the RB button always gets worn first, but it's also difficult to track down replacement parts that aren't cheap trash that will wear out quickly. Eventually, I accidentally ripped off the through hole traces of my One's controller board and don't have the skill to repair it. The trace is so tediously thin on this controller. I never had problems replacing 360 bumper switches. It's frustrating and I don't want to give Microsoft any more money, especially given how inflated the prices have gotten. That said, it's nice to see that in the Series controller's board, the solder joints are now by themselves, far away from extremely tiny resistors, capacitors, or other components. Also, the traces seem to be more embedded in the board so maybe it would lower chances of damage when soldering? Anyway, thanks for the vid. Nice, clean, and to the point. It's funny, now that I know more than I've ever wanted to know about controllers' internals, that's all I care about when considering buying new controllers and watch disassembly videos to look at the boards. Someone really needs to design and manufacture better components with stronger materials for these things, but it's not profitable.

That series controller looks identical to the xbox one controller I have (the second version that could use normal bluetooth rather than MS's specific dongle for PC). The texture on the grips and the full front face plate are exactly the same, just the extra button and the dpad. Other than those two things, did MS do anything new to the controller at all?

Question... you mentioned the two black wires going down were antennae. When I lifted the left wire, the mount came disconnected from the board instead of unplugging like it should... now the controller keeps losing connection at random. This an easy solder fix?

Thanks for this. I tried to repair a drifting controller, but I couldn't get the wires connecting the two motherboards back on. I think I pulled from the metal tabs and bent them. Probably needed to pull from the wires as you did.

Is there anyway to upgrade the joysticks yourself on the controller? Not just a replacement of the same joysticks with no drift, but a completely different upgraded joystick that works with Xbox controllers? I hate that all my Xbox controllers have drift in at least one of the joysticks.
