Einleitung

Follow this guide to remove or replace the rear case on your Sony DualSense controller.

    • Use your hands to carefully pull the rear case off of the controller.

    • During reassembly, make sure the red and black vibration motor wires are not pinched between the front and rear case.

    You can´t just grab both ends and expect it to open flawlessly, first you gotta travel the spudger around the seam at the outer edges of the controller, there are multiples clips in that area, there a couple really hard to get out at the outer edges of the R1 and L1 buttons, for those you need to insert the spudger bending outwards the bottom piece of the controller (a fairly amount, like 1.5mm) and while bending outwards use the same inserted spudger to lever them apart carefully, the plastic will bend quite a bit so be very careful with the motion of the spudger.

    Yet again, that was my personal experience opening it up, try first as the guide says, if you feel the upper and bottom pieces glued around the R1 and L1, then try this.
