Don't worry, just do it. No seriously, the shell is high quality and looks better live. There are installation videos showing you how to disassemble the controller and install the shell. Edit - I just installed a pink front skin amongst other mods for my daughter. Don't forget to remove all standard components from the original PS5 faceplate. There was a rubber grommet where the buttons go and I missed it when I first installed it. I had to disassemble my modified controller to install the hub. If you don't install this jack, your buttons will rattle horribly! Yes, you also don't need to use a heat gun to remove the circuit board glued to the touchpad. If you carefully use a plastic tool you can separate the circuit board from the original controller. It just takes a little patience. I've done this method on two controllers, but it may be annoying for some. If you don't want to risk damaging the circuit board, a hair dryer will probably do the trick instead of a hair dryer.
