Introduction

Use this guide to replace broken or damaged face buttons on the right side of your Razer Kishi.

Tools

Step 1

The opening process is the same on both sides. For simplicity, this guide shows only the right-side opening process. Unscrew whichever side you wish to open and work on.
For the right side, remove the five Y0 screws securing the right side of the controller.
Four 9.2 mm screws
One 7.2 mm screw
If you wish to open the left side, remove the five Y0 screws securing the left side of the controller.
Four 9.2 mm screws
One 7.2 mm screw

Step 2

Both cases are held together by plastic clips.
Insert an opening pick in the seam between the top and bottom case, at the bottom left corner of the controller.
With the pick still in the seam, slide it along the bottom edge to the bottom right corner to loosen the plastic clips.

Step 3

Slide the opening pick along the right edge to loosen the plastic clips.

Step 4

Slide the opening pick along the top edge to loosen the remaining plastic clips.
Don't try to remove the top side yet, the case is still connected to the board.

Step 5

Carefully lift the top side and unfold it to the right, like a book.

Step 6

Using the pointed end of a spudger, push the grey tabs on the interconnect socket away from the socket, parallel to the interconnect cable, to release the cable.
Pull the cable out of the socket.

Step 7

Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the two 4.4 mm-long screws securing the trigger board.

Step 8

The breakout board is plugged in. When removing breakout board, it is important to pull it straight out to avoid bending the connectors.
Remove the breakout board by lifting it straight up, away from the controller.

Step 9

Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the two 7.0 mm-long screws securing the trigger.

These are #00 screws on mine

Step 11

Use a pair of blunt nose tweezers to lift out the shoulder button board.

This step is difficult as the board is in very tightly, but it can be skipped. The cord allows enough flexibility to just remove the board in the next step to get to the screws for the phone bracket and the USB connector.
