Purple DS controller casing

Renew your DS controller with the purple DS-3601e shell

Over time, intense use in club sessions or at home takes its toll on the exterior of controllers. Dents, scratches, or simply the wear of plastic make a replacement shell a very practical accessory for any enthusiast who wants to keep their equipment in perfect condition — or simply give it a different splash of colour.

This shell is specifically designed for the DS controller with reference DS-3601e, and comes in a striking purple colour that allows you to personalise your equipment and distinguish your controller from others on the control table.

Function and use

The shell is the outer element that protects the internal components of the controller. Replacing it is one of the most common maintenance operations and allows for:

• Restoring a controller with a broken or heavily worn shell without the need to purchase a new one.
• Customising the colour of the controller according to each driver's preferences.
• Visually differentiating several controllers in a session with multiple participants.

Compatibility

This shell is compatible with the DS controller reference DS-3601e. Before placing your order, ensure that your controller exactly matches this reference to ensure a proper fit.

Assembly and preparation

The process of replacing the shell generally involves carefully disassembling the controller, transferring the internal components (electronics, trigger, braids, and connections) to the new shell, and reassembling it. It is recommended to do this calmly and in a clean space to avoid losing small parts.

Frequently asked questions

Does this shell include the internal components of the controller?

No. It is only the outer shell. The internal components (electronics, trigger, braids, etc.) are transferred from the original controller.

Can I mount this shell on any DS controller?

It is only compatible with the DS model reference DS-3601e. Check your controller's reference before placing your order to ensure the fit.

Do I need any special tools for the change?

Normally, a suitable precision screwdriver is sufficient to open the original shell. No specialised tools are required.

Does the colour affect the performance of the controller?
