    • Unplug all cables from your controller before starting.

    • Completely power off your controller.

    • Due to the controller’s odd shape, it can be helpful to stabilize it as you work. To prevent damage, consider laying it on a soft surface like a cloth or towel.

    • If your batteries are starting to corrode, clean the contacts and replace the batteries.

    • Use your fingers to remove the batteries.

    • The sticker in the battery recess hides a back cover screw.

    • If you don't care about damaging the sticker, you can puncture through the center and skip the next step.

    • Use a hair dryer to heat the sticker and soften the adhesive securing it.

    • The sticker can be peeled without heating, but you risk tearing it.
