I do a lot of photography and I share it on my DeviantArt and Pixelfed.

Both are SFW.

  • It honestly blows my mind how repairable these are vs the Xbox One controllers.

    Whereas these have 4 screws and clips (and if the clips break they don’t affect structural integrity) the Xbox One controller is just clips. I dread the day I have to fix one again.

    I hate devices that are held together with just clips, they suck to repair. One wrong move and it’s broken worse. I’ll take a proprietary screw head over clips anyday.

    One of the things I always check on devices is how important the plastic clips are, and if they’re not important they get clipped with flush cutters so they’re not a future issue for me or the next guy.






  • It was super easy to do, it took me less than 15minutes per controller.

    It took longer to swap the thumbsticks with aluminum sticks than it did to swap those boards.

    I’d highly recommend it!

    Just be sure to order the correct boards as there’s a bunch of different versions and they’re not interchangeable (for the most part)

    EDIT: Spleling.

    Edit2: Also don’t be afraid to break the plastic clips that aid in holding the controller together, I clip them off normally when I take a device apart and the 4 Philips screws that hold the controller together are plenty to hold it together without them.
