This worked perfectly. I applied some force to the bumper and I could just hear something squeeze and then could click LB as many times as I wanted with it registering. Thanks!
This does fix it however it’s not a permanent fix and I recommend spraying it at least 2 or 3 times before closing the cover back on. For me this only fixed the double clicking issue I fixed the unresponsive button by flipping the plastic piece on one of the 3 other sides because after awhile the plastic piece has an indent from pressing the button many times so flipping to the one of the other flaps to make it as if the plastic piece is new
Hey! I sprayed mine 2 times. 10-15 hours after spraying everything works flawlessly. Had another controller before, spraying did not help at all. So it just worth trying, but not a guaranteed fix.
Amazing fix, I had no idea how much that RB was holding me back. Went god mode on Fornite, as I now have perfect control. Thank you!!! P.S a flat head works just fine to remove the faceplate, just start at the bumber create a little seperation via a 45 degree rotation and continue the process slowly across both sides of the controller.
IF THIS DOES NOT WORK: My bumper had an issue where it would only click if I pressed hard I cut out a small piece from the sticky part of a sticky note and attached it to the plastic part in the bumper. It adds a tiny bit of height so that gentle clicks still apply full force. Hope this helps!
Hey, I had the same problem and I had to use two small peices of it and so far it seems to be working way better! Not 100% perfect as expected but way better. I can't thank you enough, I'm gonna update you after a bit of playing
I saw a few others mention not to use WD-40 that you show using. You will want to use "WD-40 Specialist Contact Cleaner Spray" or "BW-100" vs the regular WD-40. You could also use 97-99% Isopropyl Alcohol on a Q-Tip. The regular WD-40 will leave a residue that will accumulate dust and grime over time, the others are quick drying cleaners for use on electrical components and circuits.
Would 91% be safe for the bumper and other parts of the controller (such as the joysticks)? I just opened mine to try and fix stick drift and my faulty bumper and want to know if I need to get a higher percentage isopropyl alcohol
Watched this at work and knew I had the exact problem and is the reason I don’t use it anymore, anyways I get home rewatch how easy it is to open the front with the proper tools and then I used 70% rubbing alcohol to clean the bumper and it fixed it! Would totally recommend anyone with this issue to do this and who know it might just work for you too
Thanks bro, I was scared to use WD 40 after someone else mentioned it can melt plastic, so I used some Equate 91% Isopropyl Alcohol with a small brush and it seems to working perfectly now
You don't need to use wd40 you could use alittle alcohol with a q tip this also works with the white and black series pro it worked for me like a charm
another way you could do this is by pushing down the trigger then blowing into the gap between the bumper and the trigger to clear out any dust or debris on there this other method worked perfectly for me but for a longer fix, you can do this method because the method i explained usually works for around 2-3 days until you have to do it again
I used a tiny spray of lock lube and it works perfectly now rather than once every 3 or 4 presses… knowing this like 2 years ago could have saved me a lot of money
@@lucasswan8463 I grabbed it and stuffed it in the right side and pry and when I hear the pop sound I put like a pencil in so it doesn't pop back in place and I do it all the way around
I used credit/debit/hotel room cards on the top to start the process and a thin flathead screwdriver for small parts to pry open the rest. There is some adhesive so it will take some effort on the first try taking it off. Be slow and sure not to pull any wires with the clips especially on the sides of the controller
This worked flawlessy for me. I tried turning the piece of plastic, using a qtip with isopropyl alcohol and using a cut up business card to replace the plastic that all had 50% better results. This WD-40 made it work 100%. I did use a qtip to clean any leftover reside.
Hello sir I have problem with my controller it wasnt calibrated my analogs didn't stick to the calibration wall and right ananolg in cod wouldn't stop just moving right and left I took it to a so called technensian and he changed shocks for 3 or 4 times last time I tested it and everything was normal but when I returned home and wanted to play after 5 min controller got crazy left analog only want to left d pads jumping 2 up and down I recalibrated it fixed but 5 min later it got crazy again this time right shock only fast turning to left and left and right sides were changed.after every successfully calibration its goes crazy again Please help me is this issue from board or shocks.its been 10 days and not fixed yet.
Dang I didn’t realize there were specially made items for taking off the controller face. The video I saw before this had me use a knife and now it’s art of my controller is scuffed.
Lowkey worked perfect. Watched other videos with previous controllers saying to remove that plastic sleeve and replace with thicker paper, etc. Controller feels flawless now.
This is tricky but you could gamble and get one used with this problem with a 50$ discount and try to fix it. If the fix would not work, you only lose your time.
This guy just saved my controller thank you so much I tried every other method and none of them worked I was about to just solder on new buttons but i decided to try this one just to see if it worked thanks😮💨😮💨😊
Cleaning didnt fix for me. But i did manage to fix it by just cutting off the clips that you see him unclip using the screw driver. Near middle of the vid. By removing the clips the bumpers are able to move fully and press the switch properly.
I tried to move the inner button closer to the LB/RB button, but after some time it is bending back and I did not manage to get stable results from it. Nice to here you find something that works for you)
I tried to use as little as possible in being careful pressing the button on the can of WD-40 and each time it came out way too much so I hope it doesn't mess it up
Clp gun lube. Tiny drop actuated the button works fine now. If I was to guess there may have been a silicone lube and from a bazzillion clicks it wore off causing the sticking. Just a wild guess
Personally I just replaced the tactile switches. Microsoft used cheaper quality switches so replacing them is an actual fix more then a temporary solution, also it’s just much more reliable knowing my buttons will work and not double click in a few months.
Thanks, I’m not sure what happened but mine just stopped clicking down all together. I haven’t even had a full year. It worked, I used vegetable oil on a q tip because I didn’t have wd40. It’s not perfect but it’s significantly better.
I have the opposite problem it’s like the LB is tuck down because it will go left in the Xbox menu on its own and in games, do you think this will work?
The bumpers usually fail because of the tiny, weak little tab that goes into that slot for button. Engineered to fail. Dremel pocket where broken tab was, super glue a toothpick in place, make the length appropriate, and you now have stronger, more responsive bumpers. Dont waste your money on controllers
This is a side note but i see that on the left analog sticks tesnion costomizer is in side the controller rather than the one on the right. I just wanted ask if this is a problem because i also have the same isue and if you could still costomize the tension with yours.
Hi! This is not the problem. This is a feature, cause you have 3 different tensions for each stick. It is great to change for games. For example, if you play racing you can set high tension and it is easier to control the car. If you play a platform like CupHead, it is much more comfortable to have near to zero tension.
I would use isopropyl alcohol instead of wd40 because the wd40 might gum up in the future while isopropyl alcohol cleans the button. Same exact process just apply some with a q-tip the same way he has. I would use something 70% or above. 👍👍
this happened to mine and after 6 months (i fixed it alot of times)it didnt work at all now i bought a new one and after 1 month its happening already, what should i do
Thank you so much❤❤❤❤ this Video helped me perfectly, now it works perfectly like you said in the Video. It also saved me a lot of money and nerves😊 Thank you so much and have a good day❤
USE HIGHLY CONCENTRATED ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL. This will both clean and remove and debris in the spot shown which is typically the issue. 99% Isopropyl evaporates very quickly so no need to worry about moisture or damage to surrounding parts. Put it on a Q-Tip, immediately clean the spot and wait a few minutes. Good to go.
I’m having problems with my p1 and p2 paddles. The p3 and p4 paddles are completely responsive but the others are not. I have them set to the same actions but only the p3 and 4 work can someone help me out???
Nah don't bother with sprays that's a mechanical issue and it will be only a temp fix. The intended fix is actually easier. You see where he sprays, there is a small plastic piece that you can force out with a screwdriver. It's a 3 sides plastic thingy, just fold it in 2 or 3, try different combos until you get it to work.
This controller was such a waste of money for me. I have used the controller very little so im amazed at how easily it started to malfunction. I play pc so i use mouse and keyboard mostly, but use controller for souls games, rocket league and other games that are generally easier on controller.
I would recommend Isopropyl Alcohol as it is very close to the mother board, and a forced spray of moisture is stressful in that area. Anyone over 91% is perfect. I used it and did the fold platic halfway tric and it works 2x better than it did at first. Crazy
@@Swole_Geckothere is a piece of thin plastic shaped like an upside down “U”. He is saying fold it over on one bend to make it an “L” shape and that will give the button extra thickness and should make the button more responsive due to the shortened travel. Also don’t use wd40. Use an electrical contact cleaner and an electrical lube. Wd40 is really bad for plastics and it’s almost entirely plastic. I use crc qd contact cleaner and then crc 2-26 lubricant. I have not done the fold trick, but I think I will for good measure.
@@michaelv1984 thanks, a week after that comment i bought and used wd40 brand specialist contact cleaner (for electronics) and the controller has been working great since. I also didn't do the plastic fold trick.
omg thank you. this fixed 2 of my 3 broken elites. even if I have to redo it at least now I know how it works and I don't have to constsantly spend 150 every year on a new elite! Now... lets see if I can fix the stick drift on that third one :D
I am happy I can help. Sometime WD-40, can help with stick drift, but only if issue is dust, other way it is fully broken. Btw, you can swap them to Hall effect sticks ~80$, they would last forever)
@@Soughts I managed to find a solution for the stick in another video that seems to be working for now - 3 fixed controllers not bad :) Looked into what it meant replacing a stick an that looked to be waaay out of my comofort zone ... so assume the hall effect sticks would require that.
@@BaronessStrangedon’t use wd40 just use isopropyl alcohol 70% and up higher the better. Stuff like wd40 will gum up and make it worse over time. Isopropyl alcohol will clean it out and leave it dry like it’s supposed to be
where did you get your disassemble tools from?? I have 3 controllers which all have the same bumper issue and I want to try fix them, I just don’t have the necessary tools (,:
if you don't have WD, check as you can see white small pieces at bumper switch. and then take off white plastic pieces opposite that you have problem switch, Finally, overlap the two small white pieces on the offending bumper switch.
