the moulding is way over-complicated for decoration.  There is the issue of
the exposed metal under the 2x2 black connector and the 2 posts with
triangular cutouts supporting the grey studded section at the back.

I'm surprised no-one has ever mentioned the strangeness of the back of the
controller before.

I've noticed that too. I've opened up one of my contollers once, because some
sand grains got in between the speed knob and the housing and I had to clean
it. I didn't check what you've asking about, but I think there is not mutch
risk involved if you take a unit apart for yourself. I din't encounter any
problems disassebling and reassembing the unit. The top lid is hold in place
by screws only. There is some lubrcation grease under the speed knob, the only
care you have to take is to make sure that you dont pick up any dirt with the
greasy underside of that knob.
