The new design is so sleek that there are exactly zero visible screws. Looks like Sony is making us work for it...

We aren't fazed though—where there's a seam, there's a way! The black trim cover around the joysticks unclips with ease, revealing two screws near the tips of the handles.

Surely there are a couple more screws somewhere.

Aha! Two more screws are hidden under the L1 and R1 buttons, which come up with a little clip-prying (and potential flying).
