Absolutely bogus and ridiculous. They don't work for me.
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!!!!
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
Thank you! I clicked on three guides before I found yours, by far the most helpful and professional
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!
Same here!! Had to look at a couple controllers over the last few months and just to be safe, I always come back to watch this video. It's just too easy to be safe - so why not do it :D
Cheers~
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
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.
Very helpful. As a 15 year old home alone during the day I needed to replace my bumpers. Took them off a spar controller and slapped them on mine and it works like a charm!
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.
My lb clicks but don't work I'm not sure if a button inside slipped from the lb or if it blew out. All other buttons work perfect.
That's my problem (I think, not quite sure what u mean). But when I press it, it doesn't feel like the other bumber. It's like loose ig. I have to like hit it on my desk once or twice to get it too work. Then it'll stop working again.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! This tutorial really helped me with my controller since my right bumper barely works and this video saved me from losing all my ranked games! God bless you 🙌
Awh man thanks!! Fixed my left trigger because of you. I was so confused because I cleaned it all up. Turns out that I had put the magnet in the wrong way and didn’t know that the side with the dimple should face down. Was about to waste $60 on a new controller, you’re a lifesaver!
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!
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
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.
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.
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 🤣
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.
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.
My right trigger was sticking really bad and the card board and compressed air method worked. Thanks you just saved me 60 bucks!
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
THANK YOU SO MUCH. MY R1 HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR 3 DAY. Finally I can play rainbow six seige
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
I totally forgot the outer plastic on the handles could pop off. I got to clean my triggers and now they don't stick. Thanks for the video!
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!
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.
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
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.
Literally the first method fixed the problem. Thanks
Holy crap! The first one seriously worked in thirty seconds total and it’s been sticking since ‘Nam!!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you for that! My rt button was stuck so I did the cardboard meathod.
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!
Cleaning the LB and RB buttons with some isopropyl alcohol and rapidly tapping it fixed mine. It’s a MASSIVE difference how sensitive they are now. They hadn’t worked well in a year on my elite series 2, I thought I’d have to send it in.
Try this it works great! Just get the highest isopropyl alcohol % you can get 70% minimum (just be sure to allow a few minutes to dry up after). Get a Qtip or paper towel and get it damp with isopropyl just so you can get a little drop onto the button and then with a little screwdriver tap the button rapidly. Do it like 3x. For a bonus add a little piece of index card as a shim in front of the button. Don’t use anything thicker and don’t use anything spongier, you won’t have a satisfying click.
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
Thanks for those fixes. The first simple Fix worked already for me since "LB BUTTON" was always Pressed at my controller.
I was honestly just gonna watch this to know how to take out the triggers but now I'm gonna try this out
I tried all the method it dint work, but when i slam it to the ground suddenly it started working
I did that and it worked 😂
Why did this work
How hard
@@Jkd-yeepdidn’t work my controller fell apart. F you guys dude.
TY BRO
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 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.
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
saved, homeboy you saved me a lot of time with the cardboard trick
Thanks dude , the first method worked for me . Now my controller works like new
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!
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!
Please don't forcefully remove the grips. If you pry too hard like he has in the video, the small sharp pieces that click into the slots that keeps the grips on the controller will snap. It's best to use a flat object to run along the seams of the grips until slowly but surely it releases its hold.
(Very obviously, I have learned that the small sharp pieces will snap under immense pressure the hard way, I ruined many a great grip that way)
I'm always open to new ways of doing things, but I've never been able to loosen the sides enough to make it come off. Like I mentioned in the video, I've damaged my prying tools trying to do that. My grips are always on there very tight, and brute force is need to separate the pieces. It could be that other models have looser grips.
@@HowToX I've noticed that branded controllers (Like the Gears of War, Halo, and other branded controllers) have easier to pry grips with no strong stickage, and the newer controller grips are just glued on with God's most powerful adhesive
I've always just pulled them off by pressing the trigger down and reaching beneath...never had an issue, done it many times
1st method worked for my bumper and the 2nd method worked for my A button. Greatly appreciated!
My left bumper is stuck it won’t register me pressing it
Great video. My controller had a broken LB and was fixed with a drop of super glue.
Cool
yea same here. was it the skinny prong that pushes up and actuated the button that broke for you?
my controller accidentally got bumped off my desk and landed on hardwood floor about a week or so ago. the bump that bumped the bumper was too much to handle apparently xD. seems like it was a small crack that got bigger as I used it more.
i play rocket league and use LB as drift and air roll, so not having a functioning button confused the heck out of me at first. thought i was having an issue mentally lol. its 2 am rn so pretty tired haha
Which step is it? Cuz my lb doesn’t work and in forza that’s my e brake fortnite that’s my aim button cone button and reset button
And I play flipped in every shooting game so I can’t aim
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.
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!!
Is it okay to use the cardboard without alchohol?
Yanno I watched this video, beat the controller off the side of my desk and it worked. THANKS
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.
Thank you! I just fixed my controller. I needed this guide for dismantling the joystick. Thanks!
Parents: Buys me Xbox for birthday with their hard-earned savings
Also me 5 mins later for no reason:
oh man what a relief, i was barely getting into minute 2 and suddenly it was already fixed before we even moved on... ohhhh!!!
Definitely the best how to guide for the trigger and stick drift thx.
I fixed my old xbox one controller and now I can finally derank in rocket league thanks dude !!!!
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!
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 thought it didn’t work so I picked up my controller and checked and the way my face lit up seeing that it worked 🤣🤣
Bro your 1st method messed up my wired controller and no the button is broken and won’t work thanks a lot!!❤
Worked great, ripped off the grip, shoved a Q-Tip with 91% alcohol (ISP) and cleaned the circuit board and the trigger tip, and the sticky trigger stopped entirely.
Thank You, this help out with the RB on my xbox elite controller and it works juts like normal now. Appreciate it ❤
This happens to all my controllers this was my last one my heart dropped so thank you
Just wanted to show appreciation, I tried the straw method it worked first time thanks mate
Can you make a tutorial on how to fix a loose RT on the Xbox one😅
My LB isn’t stuck it just won’t activate. My RB makes a clicking noise when pressed down but my LB doesnt and doesn’t even react when I press it down
Thankyou! Just replaced my hubbys bumper & trigger buttons with your help! Hi-five!
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!
Even tho I havent tried yet Im very grateful you have shown so many alternatives
The carton method worked like magic. So simple yet effective! Thx!!
This is one of the best demonstration videos ive ever seen Infact maybe the best. Hope ur keeping it up dude
Thank you so much for this video!! I was able to just super glue a broken piece on my rb and it works perfectly!!

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👍
Updated my controller and it started working. Thank you!
thank you for the video I have an off brand controller made for xbox and you tape suggestion as well as that controller testing website were a big help

I finally managed to remove the piece that was jammed in my LT button. Thank you.
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
You actually helped me fix my right bumber,appreciate it gang🙏🏽
The right bumper is pressing but not working

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😢😅
First trick worked. 34 years of being a gamer and I’ve never done this before lol
Ty so much, method 1 and a lil bit of 2 fixed my left bumper 😅
I couldn’t fix my controller. But a good video is a good video. Thank you for your service, Mr. HowtoX
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
My RB had gone on my original controller and has now started to break on the one I've been using for the last year or so. Ordered a kit online, followed your instructions and managed to replace the RB button. Down side is now the controller won't switch on at all. 😂 I have no idea what I've done but it appears I've done more damage than good. 😔
software update worked (method 4) like magic! thank you sir!
Thanks man! I figured out that one of the tabs for RB is getting ready to break off
I had my RT button make annoying noice. I hope i watched this video i fixed it right away.
IF you have squeaky button problem only just make the move at 5:20 and clean that area you don't need to use screwdriver
I tried everything but it is not working 😢 do you have other options without taking apart the Xbox 1 s controller
I tried the 2 methods and it worked thanks my bro
Thank you so much! I used the cardboard/Vacuum method and it worked.
The left trigger is fine when there's no batteries but when i put batteries in it makes the left trigger not move as much or like it kinda makes a scrape and squeaky sound when i press the left trigger and i dont know what to do. Id be grateful if you can help me out
My right shoulder button felt a bit crusty and barely responsive on the outer side. Did the dry paper, wet paper, blowing and driver update and now it feels normal again. 👌
Awesome
