LiamCooke wrote I did this and it looks amazing! Got the same purple effect as the first picture but I used red paint. And also pulled out the vibrations as they snapped off when I was taking apart the controller

Nice to hear that it worked but it sucks that the vibrations don't work anymore.
Could you send a picture for me to add to the thread?
Thanks!

Yeah I know but it looks cool!! Thanks for posting this thread, and yeah I'll private message you a photo.

I added it to the thread
I just need to figure out how I can do spoilers because the images take up so much space

If someone could do a vid tut that be great

I hope someone will make one. I will only be able to do it when I buy a secondary controller.

Pretty sick bro, i gotta try this soon.

Ended up trying it lol I wanted red
But turned out pink and only half the
Button lights up. My fault probably.
I suggest testing the colour before
You put the shell back together to make
Sure it's as bright and the colour you want.
Otherwise quick and easy method! Make sure
To watch a good video and have the proper tools
To do the job!

Thanks for sharing your experience

This will help a few people out!

Thanks for sharing this idea, I'm for sure trying this out. NoW what colour of nail polish? to take from my gf

1) Just disassemble your Xbox controller and remove the middle (X) button.

2) Once it is removed grab your favourite colour in nail polish, and make a light coating over the bottom of the button.

3) Give it a minute to dry and put it back in place and re assemble the controller.

4) If you want to check if you like the color just reassemble the circuit boards and put the back of the controller on, and put some batteries in so you can light it up.

5) If you don't like the colour or want to change it just use some nail polish remover and try again.

Thanks and REP will help but it's not necessary!
