However... after getting this far I was unable to remove the solder holding the old switches in place. Not sure what type of solder it is, but nothing like I'm used to working with. I even went up to 450°.

Might be a V2, I'm not really into Xbox, it's a repair job for one of our customers at work. It says Model 1797 on the info sticker.

Hi everyone, I haven't posted in a long time, hope you are all ok. I wanted to ask how I would remove the joysticks on the Xbox one elite controller please? The outermost buttons on these sticks are magnetic which fit onto a stalk and dome thing that has a quarter turn screw in the top of the...
