[* black] The Backbone One earns a ***5 out of 10*** on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):
[* green] Using fairly common tools, disassembly is straight-forward with components held in place only with screws.
- [* green] The Lightning connector can be replaced easily by removing the cover and two screws.
- [* yellow] Though no adhesive is used difficult to reach screws are unnecessarily annoying.
- [* yellow] The shoulder buttons (while rather unlikely to fail) are soldered onto the board requiring micro-soldering skills if replacement is needed.
- [* red] Both joysticks (most likely first to fail) are soldered directly onto the boards. As is the pass-through Lightning port.
