Introduction
This guide will teach you how to replace the D-pad.
What you need
-
-
Grip the controller firmly to remove the side handles, wedging a spudger into the seam between the front and handle plates.
-
Pry the side plate away from the front plate by moving the spudger back and forth. You will need to do this all the way around the side plate's seam.
One you take it off, is it possible to click it back in?
As long as you don’t exceed the couple tons you need to take it off you should be able to put it back.

I don’t have a squdger
getting those handles back on seems impossible, they just dont fit as well, a gap remains even after snapping into place.
Dont think ill be doing this in the future
edit: wiggled the bo9ttom middlewith the handles off and somethign finally “clicked” into place for that extra 1/4 mm for the down arrow on my D-Pad to click back up into place!.

Use a screwdriver and punch a hole directly in the center of the label.
-
Remove the five 10mm screws located on the back of the controller using the TR8 Security Torx Screwdriver.
It's a t8 or t9 security bit btw, I got the top two out with a regular T8, but the bottom two and middle needed a T9 Security bit.
All five faceplate/backplate screws in the controller I disassembled were T8 security fasteners.
The T8 is only good for the middle screw on my One S controller. The others require something bigger
These requires SECURITY Torx bits (they have a cannulated hole in the driver). I don't believe the iFixIt branded driver is cannulated but you can buy a set of bits from DeWalt DWAX200 which is overkill but has what you need.
The driver that iFixIt sells is cannulated.
where do you get this dumb ass screw driver
You can bypass it with a 1.5mm flathead.
thank you for this. worked for me
TR9. A $10 kit from Walmart has the bit/driver in it and extra goodies to make life simple.
As weird as it sounds, the top 2 came out for me with a flathead- but the bottom two and the middle one wont

Can you show me how to replace xbox one controller 3.5mm stereo jack dpad
This model of the xbox one controller does not feature a 3.5mm headphone jack. Please look at the guides for later models of the xbox one controller.

it's exactly the same like shown above :)
I had a unresponsive left-button on my D-pad. It worked consistently only if I pressed very hard. l fixed mine, not with a new D-pad, but by adding a few layers of plastic tape over the press-sensitive “cushion” (the one that the button plastic part of the left d-pad should trigger). That made it much more responsive. It feels slightly different pressing down on the button now, but I can live with that trade-off.
Como arreglo las teclas además de desmontar se puede arreglar cada botón?
