It's your classic Super Nintendo controller.

Notably, it's a wired controller (same as most of the controllers of the era), and has a very simple layout.

The design is often called a "dogbone", due to the shape of the lower part.

Nintendo, unlike the Control Deck counterpart, did not use custom screws in the controller, therefore it's very easy to open and clean.

We remove the 5 Phillips screws on the back of the controller.

Open... the... controller.

We remove the two shoulder buttons.

Now we can get onto the board! We first remove the cable from the slack poles.

After that, it's only a matter of lifting the board out.

Onto the rubber pads that represent the buttons, we'll have to remove those too.

Inching closer, we get to the shoulder button's rubber pads.

We can finally remove the remaining plastic buttons from the D-Pad and face button areas.

The board itself has the controller cable attached, we can remove that too.

The SNES Controller board features a number of pads as well as a chip.

The chip on the board is a 12-bit shift register, used to multiplex all the button signals on the controller into a more budget-friendly connector.

Finally, we can see all the innards that make this little controller work.

Maybe we should play a few rounds of Super Mario World...
