How To Fix Shoulder Bumper On Xbox One Elite Controller | How To Fix Shoulder Button On X1 Elite

[@khall14]

Ordered the parts, followed the directions and WooHoo this 51 yr old mom fixed my boys controller!! Merry Christmas to me and THANK YOU!!

[@Cflenoury]

Good job Moma! Wish me luck as i try to attempt a fix for myslef (17 years old btw)

[@djglaredrumnbass1138]

Super Mom

[@slumped_shady]

That reminded me of when my mom looked up a guide on the internet on how to take apart a PlayStation 2 and clean and put it back together. Mom are always saving the day.

Quick, simple and clear. This is how every "how-to" video should be done. Great job, and thanks!

[@shamrok8264]

Thank you very much for this step by step video. Piece of cake. Had a tiny issue and that was making sure the plastic patches on the new bumper buttons went behind the little notches on the controller. For the first couple attempts the buttons just didn’t seem to fit perfectly until I realized this. Other than that looks like it’s new again!

[@frankroecker2913]

This video was hugely helpful, thank you! I just replaced the bumpers on my first elite controller, even got microsoft to send me a replacement controller too. now I have two!

[@KD-tg8su]

By chance can I buy that controller from you?

[@Yerrr_ItsKev]

Really appreciate the video man. I gave up on my elite controller, and with this video I was able to fix it. Thanks!

[@handsofjade]

thanks for the video. 100 hours on mine and it busted. I actually found it easier to install the bumpers first so I could align their prongs with the actual buttons; then attach the front piece again. Trying to reattach the two together I had a hard time getting the prongs to go into their respective "channels"

[@oreochema7709]

You hit the nail on the head with your "flawed design" dialogue. I would think that for a controller I paid $150 for, there would be a better system in place. Either way, thank you for this! Super useful video!

[@Hereck04]

Thanks for this tutorial! I was so bummed that the bumper on my controller broke and didnt know that it was an easy fix. Your video made it so easy to fix!

[@starwarsguye1152]

So good vid. But I seriously don't recommend doing this if you're not screw savvy. I stripped almost all of the screws and am now stuck with a terribly put together controller that doesn't even work. Here's where I went wrong and please, heed this so you can save yourself 250 bucks for another controller. 1. Don't over tighten your screws. Ever. 2. Make sure the battery compartment can fit batteries correctly. I put mine back together with one of the metallic parts of the battery compartment, the one that the battery should rest on (the half sphere), under that portion of the controller. So make sure that's all good and fine before you strip your screws. 3. Make sure your faceplate and front and back are COMPLETELY AND NICELY aligned BEFORE screwing anything in or snapping anything on. 4. And lastly, put every screw in just a tad, so it fits into the grooves and then tighten them all one at a time.

[@floydianepic3259]

I found it way easier to put the bumpers in place first then put the cover plate on. Your way i just could not get the bumpers to sit properly.

[@Blimpdawg]

Holy shit DUDE, Thank you so much. Fucking spent over an hour on the bumper part not sitting right. Thank you!

[@robertroe3483]

Thanks Bro...worked like a dream after fighting with it for a few hours...

[@TheoptionsTrader333]

THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN I ALMOST THREW MY CONTROLLER this helped so much seriously thanks

[@brandonmoorman8259]

Anybody can help me on my home button got stuck in doing this it works but it doesn’t click in when I put everything back on

[@renzah8790]

Oh my god. I actually fucking love you. I would probably turn gay for you. This is such an easier way to do it. Legend ❤️

[@Banshstar]

I cant belive I paid 120 dollars to get a good quality controller for my PC, and it breaks after 3 months of regular play. Ffs its even bound to happen!? WTF!? Woaw nice design microsoft. All that extra metal parts that I dont even use for the controller could have been used for the tension spring on the shoulder buttons. This controller was meant be a quality prestige controller. Why did they tried to save money on this? This is not budget controller. Im going back to my good 6 year old xbox360 controller. Never had any kind of problem with it.

[@ho0ber]

I am similarly salty, even though mine lasted quite a bit longer. It just makes no sense to use the same flawed design for the shoulder buttons as the standard controller. I just replaced mine, but it has definitely lost some of the tightness of response.

[@ShinimagisFTW]

Rivo Kiils my dude mine broke in a month. so salty

[@markez4730]

Dang dudes, I was thinking of buying the Elite controller (being $190 in Canada PLUS TAX 13%) for Gears 4. But dang, it sounds like my Halo 5 special edition controller last longer then these "ELITE" controllers (2 Years and running). Having a normal controller still puts me in a disadvantage against other Gears players online. I can't see myself using the claw technique

[@LouSassol69er]

Ikr. Terrible design, especially with the sticks. They come loose so easily. Pretty sure the design flaws are intentional to get people who don't want to delve into the controller to pay out the ass for another.

[@3rd_clammyrainbow14]

mine 3 hours

[@dewdusmaximus7692]

Good tut; I'm a bit disappointed the shoulders weren't metal, since the controller gives the impression of metal with joysticks/triggers/bumpers/D-pad.

[@oxsnxiwn7804]

Finally being a musician pays off I can just use my guitar picks to open my controller

[@zhayward3190]

microsoft just needs to start making decent build quality controllers then this type of stuff wouldn't happen

[@aquaticllamas28]

1440p Gaming This controller is really good except for this part.

[@towlie9428]

Aquatic Llamas Then it's not a good controller. $150 controller shouldn't be breaking from normal use.

[@Wildtreecko297]

no kidding..i didnt pay $150 for a controller to break down in a year..

[@randomtube8226]

Then they wouldn't make as much money. Its hard to convince myself into thinking that Microsoft cares about their gamers.

[@JimsGamingCave]

They most likely chose to use this flawed design to make more money. Mindless gamers will buy into the fact that it's just a simple problem, when it's much more than that.

[@RRRackCity]

1) Super helpful 2) Excellent step by step 3) You spoke very clear and concise and weren't monotone 4) I'd rate this tutorial a perfect 5 out of 7

[@atabanoel7233]

Thanks for the great guide. You showed it off in 6 minutes and we replicated it in 15 on my end.

[@ItisTime1213]

Duuuuude you saved me 140.00!!! I clicked on your link to get the kit. I followed your video. And now my RB button is working. I essentially broke the little plastic thing that would click for the RB. I bought new bumpers, and followed this video step by step. Then issue resolved. I wish I can like this 1k Times. Thanks again man.

[@djglaredrumnbass1138]

172 people did not like this video? For me was great and right to the point. Hope you do more videos like this one.

[@evanmacnamara5658]

right on man watched your video 3 times and did it myself flawlessly! thumbs up from me man

[@TuTataElDaddy]

This man is a legend!! Now I can replace it and sell my controller to GameStop or on eBay. Thanks man!!

[@tomkennedy3480]

Was a bit nervous about doing this but I ordered the parts, etc. and took my time. About 15 minutes to complete. Great video! Thanks!

[@BigBadBanquo]

I just did the repair as you recommended in the video. There may have been a few moments of rage as I had to force some pieces into place, but overall, all went off without a hitch. Thank you for the informative video, it was most helpful.

[@aaronaycock574]

Man all I can say is thank you so much...Excellent how to video.. I broke mine a few months back an had to go back to a regular controller ... I’m not kidding you when I broke this I was completely crushed until I swear I just bumped into your video... Thank you so much for this an it was real easy to do with your great instructions...Thank u

[@L0rdSeaBass]

Just used this guide about 10 minutes ago fix my controller. Very good instructional video. Thanks!

[@Gtb-bq6gl]

Hey, thank you very much. It’s crazy how useful a video from 3 years ago can still help so much. Saved me a lot of time and money, so thank you.

[@Dr.SniffIes]

Awesome trick just fixed my elite, your are a Genius

[@BBKDRAGOON]

glad it worked, cheers

[@BrianShannon]

Thanks worked well. Just a note, the bumpers have a sharp arrow on the underside, this needs to go through a small window to push a button. You cannot simply put the assembly straight back on top and click into place, if those sharp arrows are not in the right place.

[@s9523pink]

If not mentioned before, be careful to keep the small green sync button on the front of your controller in place, it can fall out as well; I put a small dab or rubber cement/ contact cement on mine so it is still replaceable.Also, make sure your bumpers don't have any excess plastic tabs, one of mine did. Furthermore, you'll see some tabs on the back of your bumpers, they go through corresponding slots where the tabs push small button; when done correctly, you'll hear your bumpers click when you press them. Just some small stuff that can make a big difference!! Warranty is only 3 months long for bumpers, and a year for the rest.

[@TCrob]

Not happy about them breaking so easy. Very happy about this vid to help walk me through it. Thx

[@gregguthrie7746]

I actually ran through 6 elite controllers...glad I didn’t toss them out. Waiting on kit in mail. LB broke on all of them..can’t wait till I receive it. Great video.

[@victorkendera3958]

Thank you, this was very helpful. Finally my controller's right bump doesn't stick anymore. Only part that held me up was putting the face plate back on. I wasn't paying attention to how the bumpers slid into place so they make contact with their little buttons. After that it slid together perfectly. Plays perfect now with no noticeable difference.

[@Red_AIert]

I've came back to this video on two separate occasions due to my Elite bumpers wearing out on me twice now. I've also sent my Elite Controller to Battle Beaver Customs and had them replace the thumb sticks that had drift/slow turn. I guess that's not bad considering my Elite controller is around two years old. If I had the money I'd send a new Elite controller to Battle Beaver Customs and have them add smart triggers and replace the paddles with their custom fit buttons on the back. Thanks for the help BBK. 👍🏼✌🏼️

[@HadynLander]

Thanks for sharing this! My controller just broke today, so it's quite a relief knowing there's a reasonably cheap way to fix it.

[@No5elfCTRL]

My bumper wasn't even broken. There is a small tab at the tip of the bumper that somehow was bent and catching on another piece, therefore holding the bumper in. This video helped me take apart the controller and repair it, even though I didn't need a new bumper! Thanks for the info

[@balalaika]

Great Guide! I could no figure out how to put the green wireless sync button back in place and found no guide showing that precise piece. Thanks to your video I could finally figure out what was the original position and finally got everyting back in place. Great great job! thanks a ton!

[@sirgfunk]

I came online to replace my elite1, now I don't have to! Great information and production value, thanks.

[@geekspeakuk]

Good job, thanks! I've just replaced the bumpers on my controller following this. I did have a bit of a wobble when I'd stripped everything down and I thought, "What have I done to my controller!?", but it all went back togeher just fine. Thanks again.

[@spderweb]

for me,m it was the piece of plastic that juts out from the bumper to hit it's button that was broken. Not the mid piece. This tutorial fixed it all the same. thanks!

[@chrissonicthornton7713]

Thanks to this video I fixed my elite. Thank you and all the best to you and your family. In this hard time with the virus. Stay safe

[@rhymesovereign]

Just used this video to fix my elite v1 controller. 4 years of service and the LB finally broke. thanks for the help man

[@aaron6259]

Just a word of advice for anyone trying this in future: I've just finished fixing this for the second time in as many years - be careful not to knock the little green sync button from the top out of place then forget to put it back in. It doesn't clip in or anything, there's just a little slot it connects to loosely so be aware. I dropped it at first and was like "where in gods name did this thing come from??" and I had to look closely at the video the figure out where it belongs.

[@NotSoKrazee77]

Had a mini heart attack when mine dropped onto the table(USB port is broken-wear condoms, kids r evil). Few good close-ups in this vid helped.

[@CrazyEy3dLuke]

I have 3 controllers with broken shoulder bumpers. You're a life saver

[@AndyCigars]

Great video...my son's elite controller is as good as new. One thing I'd say to watch out for is all the magnetic bits in this controller can yank the screws down into the controller if you aren't careful. Thanks again for posting...saved me time and money.

[@MERCERENiTY]

Your info is priceless. Really appreciative of the fact that you updated your info.

[@vonkruel]

I was trying to beat *Isshin - The Friggin' Sword Saint* in Sekiro when I realized there's actually a problem with the L1 button on my controller. I disassembled the controller as you show in the video, and sure enough that stupid plastic piece had broken on the left side. It's pretty gross to find cheap & very failure-prone construction in such an expensive product. I've ordered a couple new bumper pieces and hopefully one of those will fit & work. Someone on Amazon said the green connect button (on the left side) puts extra stress on this plastic piece & they recommend removing it so L1 doesn't break so fast. I don't know if I'll do that but I'll consider it when I reassemble.

[@talkingmoose582]

Thanks man. This video did the trick for me too, I was sad but the original lasted me a year and a half so I'm not complaining. Side note: when seating the triggers the long plastic piece must be tucked behind the other plastic bracket to seat properly

[@KevAng039]

Jason LePage so many people need to read this when they complain that they put it back together and it doesn't work properly. I had the biggest issue with it not realizing it needed to be tucked under and after the 7th time I put it in I was looking in more detail and realized that was the problem. Never would have guessed the physical click of the button was that far in.

[@franciscoaguirre5501]

Thank you thank you thank you! You saved my elites life. The bumpers took a bit to get flush but after watching your video a few times I got it. That green sync button scared the crap out of me when it fell out but it was easily put back into place. Thanks again!

[@lukedevlin8073]

Thank you sooooo much! It was very difficult to put the bumper assembly back on but eventually I got the right angle and the click into place. Took about 5 goes though. So people just be patient and persevere. Thanks again for saving my elite controller BBKDRAGOON!

[@tkoopa76]

I couldn't fit the triggers properly during the "wiggle" part, took me a few tries until I figured out how they are supposed to slide in in the slits, might be helpful to someone else. Thanks for the video

[@zenaharding581]

This just helped me repair my fiance's xbox elite controller for early Christmas ❤❤

[@MichaelSammler]

So sad playing my yearly run through of Mirrors Edge, and I stopped making my jumps suddenly. Damn bumper broke. This video is still usefull after 1 year and 10 months later. ONE PART hung me up, so if any one else didn't realize this: the LB and RB have a tab that has to go into a slot to properly hit the bumper button inside the controller. My tabs went over the slot, and almost fit, but not really. So if you know that you might not struggle for as long as I did. Back to Mirrors edge proper. Although I do play with jump and slide on the bottom levers as well I do like the original button layout. Big thanks!! Now how do I tighten up a loose thumbstick? Getting a little wobbly and all the videos look like surgery.

[@randomperson623]

I just want to say thank you for taking the time to make this video. It was very clear and I used it step by step and put it back together no problem. Just be careful like he says there's a lot of plastic clips that can break. And I also like my bumpers new color!!!!

[@BBKDRAGOON]

Thank you!

[@darthfossil7072]

Super helpful, although all I did was glue the broken pieces back together and then add some E6000 it worked like a glove, free and only took an hour. Compared to spending money and ordering a whole new set. Glue is great!

[@aaronwinterhoff1249]

Thanks dude, I used this video to fix my controller. Funny side note, I just started playing halo again after burning out on overwatch and destiny, and had been watching this great youtuber called BBKDragoon. I just realized you did the video I used to fix my controller and I didn't even notice it at the time :).

[@BBKDRAGOON]

hahah thats awesome, cheers!

[@KevAng039]

Bbkdragoon you're video saved my controller, thanks so much. Only issue I had on re assembly was when putting the new button assembly on i didnt know the actual buttons were close to the home and the double square buttons and that when placing it back in, I had to line up the and guide it under the little mitch to get it lined up. But in the end I noticed that was the problem when I hit the rb bumper and it was hitting my trigger, I then noticed it wasn't lined up properly, then nailed it.

[@JustinH201]

Thanks so much for making this tutorial video yours is the best one yet! Everything worked out well I'm so happy I didn't have to throw away my $150 generation one Xbox Elite controller. Thanks again🎮👍

[@Kevyboiii]

wow so easy to follow, with the way you explain it, absalutely brilliant, and it fixed my boys elite controller he happy now bless him.... great job buddy just gained a sub

[@EnderWiggins]

Amazing!! Thought I messed it up bc seemed my bumpers werent working, then I noticed i had the configuration on the wrong one 😂😂 it works. I just replaced my xbox elite bumpers with a old xbox controller one. Works perfect.

[@bwzxh6010]

Ender it’s not the bumper itself.. just the bumper cover

[@xDEVILDOGx]

Ok, vid was well put together. At it was to make me use the vid as a tutorial; however there are a couple things left out that you should be careful about. 1) The vibrating motors do just fall out (used scotch tape to hold in) 2) The green sync button also falls out very easily. 3) What position should triggers be in for an easier fit? I found that pulling them back helps fit a little easier when fitting the bumpers back in place. That is all.

[@Kondaar]

So, when I place the new bracket fixture back on the controller, the bumpers press up against the triggers as well. I can't seem to fix this issue after removing and placing it again. Any idea why it's catching?

[@VonnyLoves]

Steven Garvey Did you ever find a fix to this problem? I’m having the same thing happen

[@guillaumebouramia9041]

Same

[@DannSmith]

same..

[@DannSmith]

Ok, I got it. They need to slide perfectly into the right slots. This guy explained it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emG4d2ibrNt-eK8

[@sleeptech30]

From another video, see below. I also had this same issue and following this guy's tip was able to get it first try. "I found it really hard to align everything properly so that those prongs hit the buttons right. I found it a lot easier to attach the bumper first, without the center piece. That way I could slide it into place so that the prongs lined up, then snapped the front piece on with relative ease. "

[@rydiggitydog]

Thanks for the video, just fixed two of these controllers. It is not as easy as it looks but with some patience you can get it done

[@michaelruskey2311]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I appreciate it.

[@chadiwack]

Dude, you saved me. Not all heroes wear capes! Some carry T8 screwdrivers and make KZbin videos. Thx.

[@SpartanRepublic]

I had a problem where my LB did not respond at all. All I did was smack it with the palm of my hand and it was fixed. I always like seeing these type of vids

[@walaways]

Been watching your warframe videos lately and stumbled upon this video, thanks for saving me some money good sir.

[@padraig145]

I thought i only had this problem with the bumper... until I seen a whole community with this issue 😂 honestly though spending up to 140 plus on a controller like that for it to turn out so fragile is a shame.

[@coolguymaster3104]

P O'Reillybis the bumper breaking still a common problem?

[@Jacob-rx5ot]

MemeMan happened to me yesterday

[@Wintergr3y]

Excellent tutorial! This was perfect for walking me through repairing my Xbox Elite controller. FYI I managed to find bumpers by the same company you recommended that match the Elite's bumper colors.

[@BBKDRAGOON]

Thanks!

[@highpointgamer]

In the middle of doing this NOW. Waiting on bumpers to come in the mail. So far so good though. Great tutorial.

[@mmack1212]

Thank you! Quick and easy to follow video on how to repair the bumper.

[@cruzmi55iledestinygameenth47]

I did it brother I fixed my controller with your help thank you. Yes !!!! I don’t have to pay 150 bucks. For a new one 👍 Great tutorial

[@thomasleegrady9545]

I would like to say that this video was very helpful, I too have the same problem on my left bumper. I following instructions on the video to the T and put everything back exact same way how he did the video. Excellent instructions excellent video. Now I have 3 Elite controllers and not to and it only cost me $2

[@kurtcasablancas3453]

I needed this video like 4 months ago. Better late than never.

[@plytorry132]

I got my bumpers new bumpers and it seems the bumpers are a little bit to small. not really able to push the buttons and get that clicking sound.

[@auph3809]

Same

[@ADGwildlife]

SAME! Did either of you guys ever figure out how to make it work with the new piece

[@SirWise23]

This was very helpful. This was exactly what was broken on mine. Like you said, this was a VERY expensive controller to have it break because it's of how horrible the button system is.

[@maridaudran]

Thanks for the video. The link to the bumper doesnt work anymore, but there are many different colors on Amazon. I was able to save $150 controller with a $10 part in 10 minutes thanks to your video.

[@matthewsherman1620]

great video, thank you. i called a local game store and they quoted me $50 for the labor. i immediately hung up and consulted youtube. much better idea to DIY due to the likelihood of it happening again. ~4mo worth of active play, left shoulder button broke and fell out. and i baby the thing.

[@tonysolinas3789]

Thanks for the help. However, getting the bumper plastic spring to line up took me quite a while until I actually got it lined up correctly and got the top to click in properly. Once I got the bumper spring lined up and tested the bumpers, it was a breeze.

[@ImtWiSt3d]

Thank you so much for the information / tutorial. My son broke the RB bumper on his xbox one elite controller. You are saving me over 150$. Thanks again

[@dannyrene]

ImtWiSt3d Was this on the Elite Series 1 or 2?

[@joshtaf8374]

Class Action Lawsuit, this issue seems to be rampant.

[@Flexifyy]

Josh Taf Yes someone needs to get this started

[@xandermoores7718]

Josh Taf mine actually just went out. lasted me a year and 2 months but I agree. my left thumb stick is lose as well

[@MetalxSoldier]

Just happened to me as well. Bumper broke off and the controller lasted about 8 months before breaking. Disappointed it could not hit the 1 year mark.

[@xX311blissXx]

I've had mine since it released and have never had a problem. I must be one of the lucky ones.

[@MetalxSoldier]

xX311blissXx You might be lucky but it depends more on what kind of games do you play? Do you play games where you use your bumpers alot for playing? For example, I play alot of OverWatch and Halo 5. So sure many people do the same right? But what is your button layout? I have both games set to to be able to jump with my left bumper. Whats the result of using this layout? Well I have gone through about 4 regular controllers and right now my elite controller. Of course I'm going to fix my elite but I shouldn't have to go through that many controllers. I'm not some guy thats pressing hard on them either. You could be lucky but I can't help but rhink that the people whose controllers haven't broke are either casuals or people who just don't have that much use for their bumpers on their controllers.

[@crouchingotter]

Superb video BBK. I've got my replacement bumpers on their way from eBay and will be following this video closely when they arrive!

[@VeeashLala]

My elite was going strong 4 years on then I had to drop it. This vid really helped although not as easy to remove that centre piece. And when putting it back together, keeping that green sync button was a slight pain. But overall I dont think I could've used a better video.

[@nirdoggtwitch3122]

This video was a great guide to me replacing my bumpers. Much appreciated!

[@Pinballtec]

Great video. I repaired mine using Bondic and so far it's holding.

[@johnfreeman7090]

Good video, made sense, got the bumpers on just to find out my controller won’t even turn on! I’m just gonna buy another one that’s used to its cheap

[@Shonufff88]

All fixed! Thanks! Mine didnt break where yours did. Mine had the finger that touches the button broke off.

[@Skylandernuttsportal]

Hey BBKDRAGOON. Great video. It saved my favorite controller. It is the only problem I've had with the controller over the last two years. Hopefully, this design flaw is something they will look into fixing in next iteration of the Elite controller.

[@NathanGlanzer]

First off thanks for the video. Well done. I'm trying to replace mine but they don't seem to fit. I can't get the front plate back on. Am I doing something wrong? I bought them on Amazon and it says elite controller replacement but I'm not sure anymore. Once I push the frame on they stop being lines up with the middle frame.

[@NathanGlanzer]

Okay I figured it out. The bumpers have to be lined up correctly so the longest part that actually hits the button (the actual shoulder buttons are towards the middle) goes into the correct spot. They were hitting the sides of the little slit where they go and it was being pushed up. If you get the middle slid down but it doesn't look like the bumper will fit try rotating them forward or backward (you have some flexibility) until the part sticking straight down finds the opening between the two pieces. Thanks again for the video. Really made it easy to take it apart.

[@flylikear6234]

SO MUCH THIS. i spent 15 mins because i didn't do the same thing, that is the only thing he didn't mention in the video that would've been really helpful. Still a thumbs up!

[@TereliaDarkstar]

Nathan Glanzer omg thank you! I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work!

[@TheBeardedBaron66]

I struggled SO much putting the new bumpers on. Thank you for pointing this out, immensely helpful

[@gcam420]

How are you guys finding the replacement buttons after a couple months ? Do they feel nice and tight? Is it worth it?

[@briankirkness145]

Many thanks for this video, my Elite controller had the same problem and now i know how to fix it!

[@andrewl8748]

Very clear tutorial. Thank you! The hardest part was finding the screw I accidentally dropped lol.

[@PharoahAnubis]

Great Video. Easy to follow instructions. The kit you get is paramount.

[@Zenosiscool]

I knew I should have just bought a 3rd party controller. 150 for this thing to fall apart in my hands was such a waste. thanks for the helpfull video, ordered the parts when I realized the bumper was missing a piece upon seeing you take it apart

[@1974JessMan]

Dude I'm so glad you showed us this, I was so pissed when my left bumper popped off!! Do you or anyone in the comments know if you can use an old controller bumper to replace the elite one? If not well I will have to give amazon some money!! Thanks

[@BBKDRAGOON]

You could use an a bumper from another controller as long as it is gen 2. The replacements however are only about $10, thanks for watching

[@1974JessMan]

Thanks I figured that out this weekend, I had on old Halo 5 controller I used. What's weird is I took apart a launch controller and the bumper setup is spring loaded, I wonder why Microsoft changed a better design?

[@shredding116]

Thank you for making this helpful and informative video. Helped me a lot. :)

[@southparkgdp]

Okay, do everything he said EXCEPT... ..put the bumper part on first and THEN the middle cover piece. Some of these replacements are manufactured with slightly different specs and getting the bumper piece to line up at the same time as the middle piece is nearly impossible. That said, once I got it on, it was just like brand new. Great video, Dragoon..

[@zae6652]

Literally did what you said and the wire on the back snapped, thanks

[@Phimstone]

Mine just did as well.. Found a solution?

[@Shonufff88]

Thanks. Mine just broke. I've been very happy with mine so far. Its lasted couple of years without complaint.

[@poseidon11364]

This helped out a ton!!! Thanks! I just had to make a small modification to the bumpers I bought cause they were sticking down, but after that they work perfectly :)

[@ADGwildlife]

Hey I am having the same issue? How did you modify them to make it work right?

[@AlexHobson]

Thankyou very much for this mate, just replaced my bumpers with no issues, legend :)

[@soccermaestro24]

excellent guide, saved my controller from collecting dust in a drawer.

[@Gubyliciu]

Thank you very much! You explain everything which is very important!! I will recomanded this video to all my friends with this kind of problem
