You'll need a Torx T8 screwdriver. Remove the batteries, unscrew the hidden screw behind the label in the battery compartment, then carefully pry it open.
Carefully pop off the back plastic cover using a prying tool or flathead screwdriver鈥攂eneath the battery compartment, there鈥檚 a hidden screw. Unscrew it, then gently separate the front and back shell pieces!
I've done this! Use a prying tool to carefully pop off the grips, peel back the label in the battery compartment, and use a Torx T8 to unscrew and open your controller. Totally worth it if you need to fix drift or clean the insides.
Why do you even want to open it? Just play some games and leave the poor controller alone!
