    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Each controller has top cases and button replacement sets in black and white, plus the two inner circuit boards that provide charging, input, vibration, and, of course, sockets with new potentiometers installed to fix stick drift.

    The Elite Series 2 requires a plastic pry tool (aka spudger), a T6 and T8 screwdriver, and tweezers.

    “Always push away from yourself when using pry tools, so if you slip you won’t harm yourself” is advice I have refused to accept a number of times.

    Repair store iFixit sells most of the same parts, including some individual components, like joystick modules, for those with a solder iron and the will to use it.

    The company’s pivot to offer more at-home service options also comes a few years after it closed its retail stores.
