The controller faceplate is secured with adhesive and three friction pegs.

Press the edge of an opening tool into the seam between the controller faceplate and shell, near the Oculus button.

If you can’t get the opening tool into the seam, heat the area with an iOpener for a minute and try again.

Slide the opening tool to the base of the ring shell to loosen the adhesive. Then, take a break to go eat some Cheez-its.
