  1. Steam Controller Disassembly, Beginning: étape 1, image 1 de 2 Steam Controller Disassembly, Beginning: étape 1, image 2 de 2
    • I did not have a long enough screwdriver, so I ended up drilling out two of the four side screws.

    • Go ahead and take off the back plate and remove the batteries.

  2. Steam Controller Disassembly, Remove 4 side external screws: étape 2, image 1 de 3 Steam Controller Disassembly, Remove 4 side external screws: étape 2, image 2 de 3 Steam Controller Disassembly, Remove 4 side external screws: étape 2, image 3 de 3
    • Start by taking out the 4 obvious screws, two on each side.

    • You'll need a long-necked T6 driver if you want to get these out cleanly. (At least 1" / 25mm.)

    • The pro tech toolkit does not have one long enough, so I used a slightly hacked hex key on two of them (stripping the heads) and ended up drilling out the other two because the hex key is not a good fit.

  3. Steam Controller Disassembly, Remove 3 center inner screws: étape 3, image 1 de 1
    • These are hidden under the label, simply use a sharp blade or just punch through the label with something sharp.

    • There are two at the top just outside the holes showing metal, and one near the bottom center.

    • The two at the top are much deeper in, but my normal T6 fits just fine.

  4. Steam Controller Disassembly, Carefully pry off backplate: étape 4, image 1 de 2 Steam Controller Disassembly, Carefully pry off backplate: étape 4, image 2 de 2
    • Starting at the bottom center seems easiest and leaves the least amount of visual scratches.

    • Go all the way around, going below/behind the USB port. (see second picture)

  5. Steam Controller Disassembly, Watch for loose plastic parts: étape 5, image 1 de 3 Steam Controller Disassembly, Watch for loose plastic parts: étape 5, image 2 de 3 Steam Controller Disassembly, Watch for loose plastic parts: étape 5, image 3 de 3
    • Upon removing the backplate, there will be two battery hinges that may come off on either side.

    • I recommend keeping them on the backplate for reassembly later.

    • Next there is the backplate release switch, composed of two plastic parts and two springs.

    • See the 3rd picture of those parts.

  6. Steam Controller Disassembly, Four Motherboard screws: étape 6, image 1 de 1
    • Two screws near the top center.

    • Two screws on the far sides on top of the battery holder plastic backings.

    • Don't take the motherboard off yet - there are ribbon cables attached underneath.

  7. Steam Controller Disassembly, Four touchpad bracket screws: étape 7, image 1 de 1
    • Two screws hold each touchpad in place. They are mirrored across.

    • You might need to lift the motherboard by a finger's width to reach two of the four screws. (They are slightly underneath the battery holder plastic.)

  8. Steam Controller Disassembly, Take the motherboard out: étape 8, image 1 de 1
    • The only thing attached to the trackpads are the ribbon cables, be careful when lifting the motherboard off the front face plastic.

    • Watch out for the buttons falling out if you flip the front face over. There is a rubber/conductive silicone part that covers them all.

  9. Steam Controller Disassembly, Optional: detaching ribbon cables: étape 9, image 1 de 2 Steam Controller Disassembly, Optional: detaching ribbon cables: étape 9, image 2 de 2
    • This step is only needed if you are replacing a trackpad.

    • These ribbon cables are actually really easy to take out, just tug gently straight away from the board.

    • ESD-safe tweezers are recommended for re-insertion, as the stiff ends are very small and difficult to grasp.

  10. Steam Controller Disassembly, Optional: Front USB I/O panel, top bumper buttons: étape 10, image 1 de 2 Steam Controller Disassembly, Optional: Front USB I/O panel, top bumper buttons: étape 10, image 2 de 2
    • This thing literally just pops off using two plastic pressure-based latches. Just pull it in the direction the USB cable would go from the motherboard.

    • When the USB I/O panel comes off, so will the two bumper buttons. The two top bumpers are actually one long plastic part, who knew?

  11. Steam Controller Disassembly, Optional: Bumper Triggers / Buttons: étape 11, image 1 de 1
    • The screw for the bumper setups is on the opposite side of the motherboard, under the trackpad location.

Thanks for the pictures, one of the two springs at part 5 jumped out, And I could for the life of me not figure out where it belonged.

Much appreciated! I'm about to pop mine over to give them a good clean!

Thank you, i finally got around to ordering some long torx to be able to disassemble this. Added some tape to the top bumpers to make them less stiff, and swapped the stick to a convex one. I hate screws under stickers lol.
