Introduction

Follow this guide to replace, change, or upgrade the rear trim on your Sony DualSense Edge controller.

Note: This guide recommends removing the joysticks before removing the rear trim. While you can leave the joysticks in, removing them is simple and makes the rear trim removal process easier.

    • Place the controller on a work surface with the joysticks facing down.

    • Use a spudger or your finger to slide the Release tab to the left. The front trim should fall to the table.

    • If the front trim doesn't fall open, make sure the front trim has room to fall down and the Release tab is pushed all the way to the left.

    • Lift the controller up, leaving the front trim on the table.

    • During reassembly, insert the front trim at an angle so the top slots in first, then lower the trim into place and snap it onto the controller.

    • The rear trim is held in place by fragile plastic clips. Work slowly and gently to avoid breaking the clips.

    • If you installed the back button paddles included with your controller, remove them before beginning this process.

    • Insert the flat edge of an opening pick between the black portion of the rear trim and the top cover, near the joystick lever.

    • Slide the opening pick towards the bottom of the grip to release the clips.

    • Slide the opening along the edge of the trim on the other grip.

    • Once all clips are released, remove the trim.

    • If at any point the trim feels stuck, stop and look for any clips that may have re-engaged and release them with the opening pick to avoid damaging them.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
