    • Remove the rubber button covers from the A, B, X, and Y buttons.

    What about the rubber cover that's on all the buttons, similar to the rubber cover behind the D-Pad? What orientation is that meant to be in when reassembling the controller after replacing the buttons?

What about removing the Dpad? i really need help.

I’m sorry but, I have to say that the reassembly process is harder than simply ‘follow the instructions in reverse’; if you try and place the half with the buttons, the buttons fall out or end up misaligned ; and if you use the other half, the rubber covers and the tumblers will fall out.

Again, this guild comes off a little too simple, there’s more to it.

the circuit board comes off the other half. You can stack them very easily. You're simply incorrect.
