PowerA Spectra Contoller D-Pad Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

This guide includes instructions on how to remove and replace the D-Pad button from the PowerA Spectra controller.

The D-Pad is a plus-symbol-shaped button that allows for four different inputs. The button can usually fail to work because of dirt buildup in the button itself.

Make sure to disconnect the controller from any electrical sources before beginning.
