Switch off and unplug the controller. Follow the manufacturer's cleaning advice and keep moisture away from controls and openings.
Set yourself up
Use clean, dry hands and a stable workspace. Watch the video first with your supplied instructions nearby.

-
Align the cut-outs
Compare the stick and button openings before pressing. Do not stretch a piece to make a cut-out reach.
-
Apply gradually
Follow the backing-removal method shown and smooth progressively without repeatedly pulling the adhesive.
-
Take care on grips
Use gentle hairdryer warmth only where instructed around curves. Do not use a heat gun or overheat the controller.
-
Check free movement
Keep sticks, triggers, buttons and ports unobstructed. Stop if a skin edge catches a moving control.
Installation questions
What if the skin catches a button?
Stop and check the panel alignment. Do not force the control or trim the skin on the controller; send us a photo.
What about bubbles or lifting?
Avoid pins and extra force. See our fitting troubleshooting guide.
