Please note this is not a drift fix! I needed to investigate a loose joystick which is why I needed to open this controller.
I was sent an Xbox Series X controller from a friend with a broken joystick to investigate. I've never opened one of these up before so I figured I'd make a short video while I was at it. May be useful to some people!
The screwdriver type is a Torx type T8 security bit with the hole in the centre, tool kit linked above.
