Introduction
If you want to customize the parts on your Qanba Crystal then this is the guide for you. This guide will walk you through how to change the buttons, joystick and artwork on this controller.
Both the controller and it’s metal plate on the bottom are heavy and in this guide you will be flipping the controller a couple of times so having a clear workstation would be advised.
