A detailed and handy guide. Was able to get all 3 covers off and count figure out how to get better access to the bumper. Your video helped with that. The issue I had was the RB rubbing against the RT. When the trigger was even slightly pressed, the RB would pop put and work fine. Ended up sticking a very tiny piece of tape between the two to reduce friction, and it worked.
It worked! I tried a lot of tutorials, but this one has to be the best one to finally break my controller
Lol
Glad it worked!
@@HowToXthink you might need to re read that
Same 2 broken controllers now!🙂
😂
7:03 Easily this segment was such a big help! My right trigger had it to where it pressed but it felt different/broken. Found out that the foam pad was misaligned, not even missing, and was able to fix it! Thanks again man!
same here just cleaned and re put it
fixed my RT! i had to take it apart but only the first pannel you removed. some sticky black stuff was all over wherw the trigger makes contact when pressed. cleaned it up with alcohol! it works!! this was a brand new out of the box controller so THANK YOU SO MUCH! i will recommend this vid to others, too! thank youuu!!!!
Thanks! My left bumper stopped working. I got down to the last step, it was surprisingly easy with your instructions. Turns out the plastic tip that connects the bumper to the white circular little post was loose, it snapped off when touched. Ordered a new part for $10 for 1 day shipping with Amazon and fixed it in 5 minutes. Much appreciated!
I had the same situation but when I replaced the piece the controller didn't turn on anymore. I'm not sure why but it sucks tbh
Don't normally like videos but, because of how descriptive and helpful you were within the tutorial it was well deserved. Even tips about how to learn from tutorials, like watching the full segment before trying to do it along with you.
Edit: Wow, thank's. Just saved me £50 buying a new one, my LB button wasn't working, turned out the little plastic sharp bit that presses the button snapped off, I found it and superglued it back on and it works a charm. Thanks so much mate!
My series s controller kept pressing both the triggers on its own. So I did the first method, updated my controller, and the issue stopped! I thank you from the bottom of my heart, because I have been dealing with this issue for about a year and a half. Really man, I appreciate the help!
Cool. Glad you can still use the controller.
Bro this video was a god send. Both of my triggers were stuck almost like they had been jammed from being dropped. I don't know how but the cardboard trick fixed it immediately! Thank you for making this video!
Holy crap! The first one seriously worked in thirty seconds total and it’s been sticking since ‘Nam!!! Thank you!!!!
Thanks for those fixes. The first simple Fix worked already for me since "LB BUTTON" was always Pressed at my controller.
The carton method worked like magic. So simple yet effective! Thx!!
Wow, thank you so much! The first method already fixed my stuck bumper - this is so great! I was ready to buy a new controller!
I thought my controller was gonna have a some internal problem that would be a hassle to fix. But method 1 did the trick in a couple seconds. Thank you!
Thanks dude , the first method worked for me . Now my controller works like new
I used a cork board push pin to poke into the trigger pin, to release the trigger and spring assembly. Not as tricky as it looks really.
Great video and helped out a lot, thanks
Just wanted to show appreciation, I tried the straw method it worked first time thanks mate
This is one of the best demonstration videos ive ever seen Infact maybe the best. Hope ur keeping it up dude
Definitely the best how to guide for the trigger and stick drift thx.
Thank you. Trigger has been sticking forever. I found that a thin piece of plastic like a thin zip tie works well in place of cardboard.
Thanks for the video, I got it taken apart and put back together but my issue was not fixed (the bumpers are broken) so I promptly put the controller through the wall, but this video was a great help so thank you for that.
I've been watching your gaming channel for some time. I needed to look up a vid for LB/RB button replacements and this video came up and I recognized your voice lol.
1st method worked for my bumper and the 2nd method worked for my A button. Greatly appreciated!
This video managed to help me fix everything wrong with my controller both of my sticks were drifting and my RB was clicking itself I don’t have drift and my bumper is no longer clicking itself I genuinely have no clue what I did most helpful on the Internet take my sub
Updated my controller and it started working. Thank you!
Thank you so much! Usually videos like this suck bung hole cuz they rarely fix my specific issues, but this video helped me fix my RB button with the cardboard method and I guess there was just debris in my controller
Thanks a lot! Using this tutorial i found out whats wrong with my RB, it was broken little plastic stick inside which is pressing the switch, i didn't know how to look inside, now i just bought the part and gonna replace the old, really aprecciate it
What method have you try ?
These have a major design flaw by MS. They're way too weak for the heavy use they get like the constant parrying in an RPG game.
Literally the first method fixed the problem. Thanks
So I was able to pull off the panel with my hand. And there was sticky gunk in there. Took a little alcohol swab with a toothpick and my controller is as good as new! Thank you so much.
BRO I WAS SO WORRIED THINKING I WOULD HAVE TO GET A NEW CONTROLLER BUT U JUST SAVED ME HECKA! I ONLY NEED THE FIRST STEP TOOO
My left bumper wasn't working tried to clean it first but eventually had to take apart the controller and put in a piece of electrical tape. Amazing recovery of the button and truly works thanks.
Thanks! I couldn't open the controller since i didn't have the screwdriver set for step 5, so i just pulled some tape and put it under the trigger and voila it's fixed.
You actually helped me fix my right bumber,appreciate it gang🙏🏽
Super helpful. Thank you! I had to remove that sticky pad at the end of the right trigger's travel. It was all gummy and not letting the trigger release which is really bad for throttle control in racing games.
Very helpfull! It was easy to see the improvement while using the online gamepad tester.
I just wanted to say that you rock, dude! Your video helped me a lot! I had dust built up and had to clean around the buttons like your vid suggested. Happy New Year and keep on rockin' dude!
my left trigger isn’t stuck, but no matter what i do it is always pressed down and activating without me even touching it
Ok, do the things in the video if you haven't already.
Same here buddy waste money on a new controller just for it to glitch on me
@@justicecordeiro7565 take it apart look for broken/stuck pieces

Hi my friend do my name is Yamil, I got a drifting problem on my controller and I want to know if you can fix it for me.
Well for me I found out the part of the bumper there a kinda plastic piece that pokes the number activated and that broke off
Even tho I havent tried yet Im very grateful you have shown so many alternatives
I finally managed to remove the piece that was jammed in my LT button. Thank you.
Thank you!!! I opened up my controller to find the tooth extending down from the right bumper, that pushes on the internal white button, the tooth had snapped off. So I ordered a new bumper set for $10 and replaced it and… voila! Saved myself $50! Many thanks!
This video was so helpful for my problem. Thank you for sharing your experience 💯.
My issue was solved by the straw/compressed air.
My rb button was acting weirdly. It would click or feel normal when i press it but sometimes the button would be held down even though i released the rb button.
My bumber panel was broken!! :D Instead of buying a new controller I can just buy a replacement! Awesome, thanks for the video and links!
thank you! the first method was an easy solution. the LB button was being too sensitive, but I guess some dirt was just keeping it too held down.
ty so much bro, just fixed the left bumper, just had to take all covers and clean... u the best!
Thank you so much! I used the cardboard/Vacuum method and it worked.
saved, homeboy you saved me a lot of time with the cardboard trick
I was able to fix my issue with the first few tips, thanks! I used a cereal box to make a pick, and compressed air to help clean things out, then a firmware update for good measure. You did a great job walking through the process and explaining the risks and reasons for taking each step.
how i’m using a cereal box too
Thabks for this, my lb button was not working and when i took that piece off, i instantly saw its piece that pushes the button in was broken, ive ordered a new one know so hopefully its all i need, but thanks for teaching me how to take apart my controller👍
Holy shit and here I was, sad that my limited edition CP2077 controller was going to have to be retired and I was saved by a simple piece of cardboard. You've just saved me £100 and kept my baby running.
just repeared a remot thanks to your video, i was gonna threw it away, big big thank you, you made my day. Now lets play again ;)
Thanks man! I figured out that one of the tabs for RB is getting ready to break off
software update worked (method 4) like magic! thank you sir!
Thank you so much I got my right bumper to work because of this video
Dude, eye opening video, I just had to blow into my controller and it worked 😅. Thank you!!!
appreciate ur video. I kinda skipped a bit since i had already attempted to update controller. had a broken piece of plastic in there. luckily i own plastic bond lol. waiting on it to cure now!
thanks so much bro! i got a brand new controller and after just a few uses the left bumper stopped working, i tried the cardboard method and straw method and its working again
Thank you for this video, it provided me the right guidance to swap a broken Bumper Button between my controllers!
Great and clear voice audio!
Thank you so much the first one helped a ton❤
method one worked, thanks for saving me the time, the service tech in me just wanted to start tearing the controller apart
The first trick helped thank you!
THANK YOU... for me... This also works for Stick Drift....
I blew into the cracks on the joysticks.
oh man what a relief, i was barely getting into minute 2 and suddenly it was already fixed before we even moved on... ohhhh!!!
Thank you for that! My rt button was stuck so I did the cardboard meathod.
Thank you man for all you do i guess I forgot to clean it
I tried the 2 methods and it worked thanks my bro
1st method has done the trick. thanks a lot!
This video was very helpful, much appreciated
Was super confused my RB was only working half the time And was making a very sifferent sound then the other, somehow fixed it after dismantling and blowing into it. not clickbait and very helpfull thankyou!!
Thanks for this. My LB stopped working and I had no idea why. Bought a T8 security screwdriver & disassembled the controller thanks to your instructions. Finally saw what was wrong after 15mins. The plastic protrusion on the casing broke off, so that's why the LB button wouldn't click.
Did you figure out how to fix it? I'm waiting for my torx screwdrivers to arrive so haven't actually disassembled the controller yet but I bet my life this is gonna be exactly the issue
@@ayzee5169Yeah, I just replaced the bumpers. It's one single piece of the case. Just have to make sure you order the correct one. You can tell by how it's split from the plastic piece in the middle (over the sync button). One has a diagonal separation, the other is straight. It's important because the protrustion that goes inside to click the bumpers is different (one style is much thinner than the other).
Wanted to say thank you. The cardboard trick fixed my $250.00 Xbox controller. Thought man I haven’t barely used it as I play on a full sim. I only play race games or sim race games.
Cant lie bro your first suggestion with the cardboard actually just caused my bumper to stop working entirely rather then it only working sometimes like it did before
I love you so much, just fixed my elite controller
Thanks man you helped me fix my controller 🎁
Excellent educational video! Very detailed. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Hi
Excellent video
I couldn’t fix my controller. But a good video is a good video. Thank you for your service, Mr. HowtoX

Thank you so much brother nearly went out and bought a new one
Thanks for showing us this, my right trigger was sticking every time it was pressed, the problem appeared to be a loose cushion for the trigger and with this being loose it’s left a residue of adhesive hence the sticking.. I’ve cleaned this off and applied a new cushion (tiny piece of sponge 🧽) with😅.. work perfectly 🎉… thanks for this video much appreciated 😁👍
Thanks! That's what wrong with mine. I'll have to get some new sponges.
@@kylemorgan7961 to this day I’m still having issues with this design it’s shocking, the trigger works fine still so I’d recommend a little piece of sponge 🧽 tiny tiny 🤣

You fixed it with the cardboard method!!! Thank you!!!
Best tutorial, the first one solved my problem in seconds after I tried for half an hour and having an issue before and solving it in an hour... Life saver!
Glad it helped!
@@HowToXme too it meant a lot to fix it I was bawling my eyes out and hubby was frustrated and had gone to bed just overwhelmed I can tell by how quiet he was that it was bugging him but he didn't want me to feel bad after he laid down I bawled my eyes out thinking how can I get this thing fixed because it is my son's only form of entertainment as well we live in an area where there's not much to do even if you were to go outside the first thing you mentioned worked perfectly and I was finally able to have tears of happiness that it was fixed and my hubby feels a great sigh of relief at least now when we go to sleep even though it's early in the morning we kind of pulled an all-nighter we can feel good about everything knowing that it works sorry for such a long message I'm just really thankful I mean very very thankful😢😅
You are a life saver the cardboard method worked
Blew in to my rb and now it’s working 😂 thanks!
I really want to thank you because u saved me some money
Glad it helped
Bro thanks I unscrewed my power a controller and it was kinda out of place so I easily popped it back in place 10/10 method toon me 30 second
I fixed my old xbox one controller and now I can finally derank in rocket league thanks dude !!!!
Thank you for the video my hand is busted but my series X Controller finally works again. My R1 Button was not working. Plastik was broken i double tapet it and set it all together and Now it works again. Thank you
I found my solution at step 7. A piece of the long frame was broken, so I glued it back together. Now, I only need to fix the drifting. Wish me luck!
If you have a extra controller then you can take it apart and salvage the joy sticks and stop stick drift but of you don't try to take it apart and take teh front shell of and then use a straw and blow into it then pop them off and see of any dust or gunk is on there causing drift hope this helps
THANK YOU SO MUCH I WAS ABLE TO FIX IT
Not sure if itll help everybody but if def helped me tysm 🙏
