Very good instructions...

Nice instructions. I need to take apart mine and replace the d-pad. The previous owner was a bit... rough. Sometimes it doesn't work or it clicks twice. Cheers!

Do you think that you can label the internals of the controller.

David Becerra - Reply

I have a custom controller from the xbox design labs. I want to change the led on the front.

Can someone point out the model/ size led I would need?
