These controllers were definitely made with the intention for no one to ever open them up after they were sold. Tutorial much appreciated and definitely needed!

I think I'm gonna sit and cry for the next 72 hours now. Reassembled almost everything, got the hardest parts behind me. Just seen the Bluetooth connect button laying around.

This video saved my butt, I has half way through taking my controller apart and tried pulling the buttons out. When they wouldn't come I decided to look it up and here I am. THANKS!

This is a fantastic tutorial. Incredibly useful. No vamping, great lighting, good video, clear explanations. My thumbstick is having issues so I wanted to open it up to take a look. I'm hopeful I can repair it.

Extremely helpful! X button was sticking and a little cleaning did the trick. Feeling super self reliant right now, appreciate you.

Expertly explained! I bought a full cosmetic replacement kit for starfield and had no idea how to do this but you made it a piece of cake. Thank you!

Super useful. Had a trigger that was sticking and the tear down and rebuild in high quality came in clutch, thank you!

Little component on the board where the wire connects to the other board broke off really easy, tried tugging hard on the other one to replicate and it stayed on. These companies cheap out on solder, use the least amount of solder as possible to save money and as soon as years go by they degrade and become weak. Ah well can't complain, had the controller for more than 2 years now with heavy use. Great tutorial by the way, straight to the point and clear

Bro I had went to my local hardware store (Home Depot) and bought a screw set and I had take apart my controller bc my son messed up the right stick 🤦🏾‍♂️ came across your video man thanks a lot

[evelillac]

Thank you! You saved me from buying a new controller. I had no issue disassembling, instructions are pretty clear

[Longshotx]

Saved me the trouble of getting a new controller. Thank you for the effort you put into this.

I've come back to this video about 5 times in the past month because I was swapping out parts in some broken limited edition controllers and put parts from new standard controllers in. Very good video!

[HoshiOtakuu]

Thank you so much! I was attempting to fix my right joystick and messed up my controller even worse then i saw this video and it fixed both problems.

I feel like the people who disliked this video ruined their control

[colesherman]

Just finished taking apart the whole controller and got a good cleaning done. Thanks alot for the video! It helped greatly and you were easy to follow. No more sticky buttons for me 😁

[CrazyRiverOtter]

DUDE! Great tutorial! This is the first time I've taken an Xbox One controller apart for cleaning without having to repair it with a soldering iron. (Well, Xbox Series X controller but same thing really.)

[Popoto_Jay]

This was such a useful tutorial, thank you! I'd been looking at other videos to try and get my controller apart to repair (spilt water on it and the Xbox button is firing without me pressing it) but this is the only video I could find that properly explains the steps. Unfortunately, my controller still isn't working properly, but I'm pretty sure I know what's causing the issue now so I'll definitely be coming back to this video when I try again to fix it :)

I used your old guide and it worked just fine. I did have a lot harder time getting the top board unwedged. Thanks for updating it, just finished fixing mine and saw this.
