PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller Disassembly

A cheaper alternative to the wireless version, without a built in battery it feels quite light

front shell is pretty standard fair with removable buttons

two screws hold the shell in place, but first we will remove the should button connections

nothing holds the L and R bumpers but the ZL and ZR triggers are on a hinge

small plastic posts hold the triggers in place, gently pry the triggers off the posts using a flathead. These are easy to break so be gentle here. The elastomer underneath is held on by these little posts that stick through the plastic. Removing them is easy but pushing them back in is a challenge

the elastomers are held in with little posts that go through the board. The sticks and d pad are soldered in so are not easy to remove
