Hadn’t used it since 2017 mind you, but I recently pulled it out. Gave it a dust down and a new lease of life thanks to the community still supporting it.
I’m genuinely surprised by how modern it still feels to use given it’s over a decade old tech.
Saw these buttons online, thought they looked cool and I couldn’t resist.
The right controller is a PITA to take apart. There’s no resources online for it which surprised me. At least none i could find detailing a teardown.
A lot of ribbon cables, quite a lot of screws but thankfully all standard Phillips heads. The tricky part was pulling the PCB out to access the buttons. Took more force than anticipated, but likely because I didn’t remove the mouse sensor.
Good to know that the analog stick module and battery are easily accessible and replaceable at least.
