Identifying and changing your Xbox One Series X/S controllers front shell

Yes I know there are also the 2 elite controllers, but you should know if you have those. The other 4 look very similar.
All Xbox controllers front shell are changed the same way. Just not every front shell is the same.

@TSC Pysoツ I mean, sure... But you run a high probability of ruining your controller. It's better to get the tool for a few dollars than to ruin an $80 controller... I purchased a shell replacement that came with a driver, so there's also that.

Thank you. I was worried about breaking the controller being mechanically hamfisted & managed it easily with your help. 😊
If you are looking for a screwdriver, walmart sells it, just grabbed a "smartphone repair kit" and it comes with the T8 bit

The seam between my controller seems a lot tighter than yours. You effortlessly popped it off whereas I'm worried I'm going to apply too much force

Thx you, very helpful
Thank you now I know what screwdriver I need
I need an extra tutorial on exactly how to change all of the buttons (arrows, A,B,X,Y, RT, RB, LT, LB, home, BT pairing button, etc.) I did the same for my old xbox one controller but the X/S controller seems slightly different.
@mikeeyram
5 ай бұрын
I'm assuming you mean the Series controller, there is no such thing as an X/S controller. ("X/S" is in the title because people don't know what to search for, it helps it pop up in search results) It's is slightly different but it's actually easier, a few less screws. The 2 things that changed, one less screw on each trigger and how the sync button stays in place, other than that it's the same.
This a good tutorial

You're going to need a lot more than a screwdriver to fix a drifting joystick. You'll need: solder, soldering iron, a way to desolder it and a new module. Along with 1, maybe 2 different screwdrivers.

if it is a brand new controller, make sure the back is not a sticker I thought the exact same thing until I just looked at mine really closely and realize there is a fifth screw hole. The sticker was just in the way.
@mikeeyram
Жыл бұрын
Any controller will have a sticker, unless the shell has already been changed. Microsoft has been putting a screw under a sticker since 2005, when the 360 released. So it's nothing new.
the tool to take off the back thing broke and I got the wrong shell😢
@mikeeyram
6 ай бұрын
That does happen, I break them every so often, they only last so long. That's why it's best know what controller you have and order the correct shell. This is what happens when Microsoft makes 6 different controllers, 4 regular and 2 elite, with 5 different front shells.

If anyone in the comments is as slow (idiotic) as me, the back-center screw is hidden where the battery compartment is. You need to press into that area (where the center screw is) with the screwdriver and the sticker will tear slightly, which will let you access that screw! Don't be scared to do it, it's easy and necessary to get that screw out, or else you can't install the faceplate. It took me over an hour to gain the courage, my first time doing it.
