Simple instructions how to fix broken stock Xbox wireless controller thumb-sticks with one simple tool and no opening the case.
READ BEFORE TRYING!
1) This only works if the internal post is not also broken. This is not a fix for stick drift
(this guy might help • Xbox One Controller Dr... )
Pulling the sticks off is risky folks, so do this when you have nothing else to lose. Also THE POST IS RECTANGULAR AND THE SLOT IS TOO. ALIGN THEM WHEN PUTTING THE STICK BACK ON!
2) For the people who have commented that the inner post is broken. It is most likely that the post was broken when the trauma happened in the first place. I have tried dozens of times to pull the sticks off in different ways and cannot reproduce the post breaking. I am very sorry if your post is broken. Clearly this video does not suggest how to fix that. That piece is hardwired to the circuit board and if it is broken you likely need to open the controller. Want to see how one person fixed this go to • Xbox One Snapped / Bro...
3) I am just a dude who fixed his controller. I do not spend my time trying to break and fix other controllers other than mine. I do not have an Elite, a Skuff, or PS4 controlers. The only one I have is the one you see in the video. If you want to try this fix on another controller I would love to hear how it goes, but don't assume success.
Believe me, I know the pain of breaking controllers. Good gaming everyone.
