Introduction

Replacing the triggers on your EasySMX X15 Controller is a straightforward process that can help restore the responsiveness of your controller's shoulder buttons. This guide will walk you through the steps using tools commonly available at home, ensuring a quick and easy fix.

Note: You don't have to remove the battery as shown in Step 3, but make sure to disconnect the battery cable from the board before proceeding to the next step.

Tools

Step 1

Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the four 9 mm screws from the bottom of the EasySMX X15.
Use an opening tool to gently pry between the seams of the controller to separate the lower and upper casings.
Be gentle when separating the lower casing from the upper casing to avoid breaking any of the plastic snap tabs.

Step 2

Push on alternating sides of the connector to disconnect the red battery cable from the board.
If that doesn't work, use a pair of tweezers to firmly grip the sides of the connector and pull straight away from the socket. Hold the tweezers closer to the connector to get a better grip.
Pull from the tab, not the cables, to avoid damaging them.

Step 3

Use a spudger to pry the battery loose from the controller.
The battery is glued onto the control board, so it may take a bit of work to release it from the adhesive.
Remove the battery.
Don't bend or pierce the battery. If the battery is swollen, follow the guidelines outlined in this article.
