On one hand, the Move controller is a very pricey gaming controller. On the other paw, iFixit’s tear-down revealed “it’s quite the bang for the buck,” with a processor, accelerometer, gyroscope, Bluetooth, vibrating motor and MEMS compass tucked inside.

iFixit’s rip-apart didn’t reveal much that we didn’t already know about the spec, but apparently it was dead easy to open it up—good news for home-tinkerers. While the vibrating motor can be peeled off somewhat, it’s still fastened down to the motherboard, along with the LED, charge contacts and EXT cables. The 1320mAh lithium-ion battery, however, can be disconnected. [iFixit]
