DualSense Edge Joysticks Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

      • Place the controller on a work surface with the joysticks facing down.

      • Use a spudger or your finger to slide the Release tab to the left. The front trim should fall to the table.

      • If the front trim doesn't fall open, make sure the front trim has room to fall down and the Release tab is pushed all the way to the left.

      • Lift the controller up, leaving the front trim on the table.

      • During reassembly, insert the front trim at an angle so the top slots in first, then lower the trim into place and snap it onto the controller.
