    Listen people this is a perfect how to video. This video should have no dislikes. If you do for some reason mess your controller up.. Put it back together the best way you can go buy a controller and return the messed up one as the new one. Never pay for a controller again

    Trying to take apart this controller with precision while listening to this music is equivalent to trying to get pumped at the gym listening to church songs. Its not damn possible.

      Frankie Dez_X5 Honestly it is much easier to get pumped to church songs as many of them are actually lively these days.

    To all the people complaining and saying buy the controller on that color like have you seen how much a fucking controller costs . Prices are ridiculous for the colored ones. The go from 60 to 100 or more. The shell is only like 12 to 20 bucks and you can change the color to your controller to whatever you want. I like the video it explains it very well.

    would you say the plastic material is the same or cheaper than the original stock ps4 controller? I've been wanting to do this, & it looks simple. I just don't want to buy all the parts put it all together & the plastic buttons or the controller itself is cheap.
    I know the original isn't that great, I'm just curious how well made the aftermarket pieces compare
