To get into the controller, you will need to unscrew the 7 screws on the back.

You will have to remove the bottom oval sticker to reveal the screw circled in orange.

-
With the screws removed, turn the controller upside down. Insert the iFixit opening tool between the top and bottom casing to pry them apart.
-
Separate the top and bottom casing.
-
It is likely that the buttons will fall out of place, so as you open the controller, try to keep track of where the pieces go.
-
There should be the four circular buttons labeled 1-4, four smaller circular buttons for the D-Pad, and three rounded rectangular buttons.

Turn the top casing of the controller over to remove all the buttons.
