Gonna fill a large container with isopropyl alcohol and let controller with a lot of problems sit in it, and like 75% of the problems it previously had would fix
It's also a very easy procedure to replace them if they break (thanks Vergil, I got a little too hyped in the bloody palace) and the kit is always about $10 on amazon.
The bumper is a huge failure point when dropped, buying a cheap(tamper resistant) torx set and replacement bumpers for 10$ can save you from spending 60$ after you wasted 10$ on compressed air
If Xbox had Nintendo switch pro controller bumpers on elite series 2 would be great to me. My right bumber is being laggy idk if I trust isopropyl in it this vid tho 🤷 😂😪
I blew in the space in between the trigger and bumper that works too if you don't have compressed air Edit: but don't blow too much because you will feel dizzy
My right bumber is being laggy idk if I should use the isopropyl in it tho 🤷 are you sure? I want to air can it first but the one I have is strong air flow. Is that ok for it?
I'm sorry but never do this. I have taken apart and fixed many Xbox and Xbox elite controllers for myself and other people. The last thing you want to do is spray alcohol into a crack and crevice of the controller not knowing if there's any wiring mechanical or working aspects of the control that should not come in contact with the alcohol. The best course of action is to open the controller and to treat the button located underneath the plastic bumper. You will more than likely have to remove a plastic sheet that is sitting between the bumper and the button. Treat the button directly never do this. I must note that once you open the controller you do void your warranty.
this would’ve been good 2 days ago i took apart my controller and tried taking off the bumpers, it was stuck so i used a screwdriver to lift it and the plastic broke off of the right bumper so now i have to buy a new bumper set
the reason these controlle rhave bumper issue all the time is because the way its design. its a think plastic that pushes the button. Thin AF... it breaks. luckly the fixed is a simple 10$ replacement part and 5 easy screws.
These are without a doubt in my years of gaming since I was 8. The worst controllers I've ever seen/used they last about a year before all the issues right trigger makes you walk forward terrible left analog life. And the bumpers it's a cash grab by bill gates.
i tried this and now instead of not working it thinks i’m constantly holding down the left bumper. i click it once and it’s as if it’s sticky keyed and thinks it’s being held. please help
Tinker man mick if you see this I think its a good video but at least from what I've seen with Xbox controllers and the bumpers, they tend to be just a button with the plastic cover that you and everyone calls the bumper
Yes. Mine only worked like 1/15 times 😂. I used a similar method of using isopropyl alcohol and it worked for me. But if it still doesn’t work I would look into something like replacing the actual button. 👍 Ik this is an old comment but it’s mainly for people in the future who have the same question
Press the trigger and put a small drop or two of some low viscosity lubricating oil on the coil you see in there. Press the trigger a few times and maybe, if you put too much on it, put a swab on it or wipe with a piece of paper towel over it to absorb any excess so it doesn't drop further down over time and get nasty. I took oil normally used for my music instruments, just because I had some and they have a very nice long and extremely thin top which is perfect for applying very little on specific parts. But anything intended for fine and delicate parts will work without any issues. It's just about not changing the feel and resistance of the trigger by applying some heavier lubricant.
Hey man, thanks heaps for this. I have that exact controller and the RB wouldn't register that ik clicking it. Literally blew on it after seeing compressed air and it works. Thanks heaps 😊😊
Didn't help me even though I've bought mine in 2015. So because of that I have a Gen 1 controller, how can I fix bumpers on it? I've disassembled it and there's no visual damage to the bumper, it seems to be pressing the button fine, there is a click, but it registers very poorly, you have to press it very hard for it to register completely, in some places of the bumper the click won't register at all.
I have a brand new series s/x controller and the LB will spam going left on the Xbox menu and in games I took the controller apart too, and the LB doesn’t even have to have get pressed by the plastic part to make it activate and it gets stuck and unstuck over and over again, do you think this will work?
Sometimes if you can't feel the click you have to replace the full rb and lb plastic. You have to take it apart for that. The rb and lb press by a small leg 🦵 type thing that breaks and won't press the button after that. Easily swapped.
Yo lmfao bro i love you thanks for this video . I got the halo elite controller n my rb Button been acting up . Xbox wanted 80 to fix my problem then i saw your video 😂😂 u saved me money and time thank you 👌🏻
So for my Xbox series s when I would uninstall the Cold War campaign the console would think the game is 300+go and i have to redownload it. I was wondering if you could do that to see if I just got a bad series s or if it’s a problem with the game.
Can anyone help me , by rt button popped out, like the cap and i tried to put it back but everytime i do its in a sticky button position, i already cleaned it and everything
Thx so much honestly I feel bad that u don’t have more likes for the amount of effort u put into this vid but u helped me so I’ll subscribe even tho I don’t think I’ll ever see any of ur videos again
So I have an old Xbox elite controller it’s the original one and it’s trigger is perfectly fine until I put on hair trigger or short trigger some people may say,But when I put on hair trigger then the trigger go to doggy how do I fix it?
This particular controller has been marinated in isopropyl alcohol just enough to cure about anything
Ikr
maybe it'll cure covid
vodka does poisoning/sumthing
70% giga chad for eletronics
Maybe it will cure the lack of size my pp has
Gonna fill a large container with isopropyl alcohol and let controller with a lot of problems sit in it, and like 75% of the problems it previously had would fix

There's a little piece of plastic inside the bunpers that always breaks...
The bumper is a huge failure point when dropped, buying a cheap(tamper resistant) torx set and replacement bumpers for 10$ can save you from spending 60$ after you wasted 10$ on compressed air
gay people seeing that "compressed air device" and going insane
Xbox really needs to make decent bumpers, is always the same problem with them
If Xbox had Nintendo switch pro controller bumpers on elite series 2 would be great to me. My right bumber is being laggy idk if I trust isopropyl in it this vid tho 🤷 😂😪
Decent CONTROLLERS* They have really gone downhill since the 360 controllers
Thanks a million did not have the compressed air so I used my breath like it was my nintendo 64 cartridge days
Ahhh, the good old days. 😂😂
Goat. My rb wasn’t working read this comment blow into it for a second and it’s instantly back working
Amazing worked like a charm forget all about that built in air pressure
Just tried this and it fixed my LB! I tried taking my controller to pieces- no luck and blowing down it fixed it. Thanks!
Bro, youre a legend. Did this with my controller and it instantly came back
Ended up just completely ripping out the rb button and shoving it back in and it worked lol
That was what I did as well…
It didn’t work :(
How did you rip it off it hurt my fingers when I do
@@Soulstealermari u need to not care ab pain and pull harder
@@Soulstealermaritry play a game with the current state of your controller then you will have enough anger to not feel the pain😂
On some controllers it fixes and on some it makes them more broken :(
Did your brake
Yeah it made my controller worse
Do you clean your Xbox of dust on the inside? And how often?
Sure do, every few months, i have full tutorials on that too
@@TinkerManMick oh damn I definitely need to check that one out then
@@TinkerManMick does this work for elite controllers
@@goofy6573yes
I blew in the space in between the trigger and bumper that works too if you don't have compressed air
Edit: but don't blow too much because you will feel dizzy
I’ve done this quite a bit and have got dizzy🤣
@@Cedar904 💀
That fucked up my controller
Can we also do this when the triggers get sticky?
yes
CAN HE READ OUR MINDS I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS ON HIS CHANNEL YESTERDAY
YOU’RE an absolute LEGEND 👍👍 you fixed my problem in 30 seconds!!

My lb button won't click and it isn't stuck I've used a knife and it didn't do anything do you know if this will help me? Please reply asap. 🙏

My controller stopped working after doing this
Same bro

If I had to borrow your controller I might get drunk using it goddamn.
These are without a doubt in my years of gaming since I was 8. The worst controllers I've ever seen/used they last about a year before all the issues right trigger makes you walk forward terrible left analog life. And the bumpers it's a cash grab by bill gates.
“Keep playing with it over and over again…“ Mick is a mad genius!! Although I have two controllers that have bum triggers. Any way to fix that?
I just blow underneath the bumper when that happens same with when the triggers squeak
can you make a video of how to fix the bumper switchs on the inside of the controller
A few drops of isopropyl alcohol directly on the switch and pressing it a few times is what fixed mine and it's working flawlessly for weeks now.
i tried this and now instead of not working it thinks i’m constantly holding down the left bumper. i click it once and it’s as if it’s sticky keyed and thinks it’s being held.
please help
would lemon grass air freshener work it has alcohol
Tinker man mick if you see this I think its a good video but at least from what I've seen with Xbox controllers and the bumpers, they tend to be just a button with the plastic cover that you and everyone calls the bumper
So i have this exact problem i just wsnt to know if this still can work without the compressed air and a non spray bottle of isopropyl
Make a note I did not use compressed air I just blew inside the bumper and now it's starting to work better
I bought this overpriced piece of garbage like three months ago and both bumpers are not registering anymore.
Great video Mick keep up the good work ❤️👍
Thank you! My elite controller didnt work for the past 2 - 3 months and i was about to buy a new one but you helped me! Thank you❤
I took my controller apart and the bumper was just broken, so i replaced it.
Thank u all I did was blow it with my mouth and it fixed it I was gonna buy a new controller lmao
How fix Lt when it don’t do anything can’t place like blocks down in minecraft
I was about to open the control an literally a blow of air fixed it, thanks!!
Omg you're a life saver
😊
can you do a video on why the triggers on an elite series two wont go down all the way?
are you using the trigger stopper
Why are the hew xbox series lb rb so weak keep braking .gone thought over 10 now grrrrr
These controllers are garbage this is my third or fourth with broken bumpers and I’ve made sure 100% this time it wasn’t my fault
My shoot button has stick drift it like shoots on its own idk how to fix it any help??

Any tips that don’t require me to purchase anything to fix it?
Champion, they break alcohol wont fix em
What should I do if my RB on my controller is not working
Is this a fix for when the bumpers are unresponsive?
Yes. Mine only worked like 1/15 times 😂. I used a similar method of using isopropyl alcohol and it worked for me. But if it still doesn’t work I would look into something like replacing the actual button. 👍
Ik this is an old comment but it’s mainly for people in the future who have the same question
this dont work, u need to change the bumper...
LOL I WATCHED THIS VID AND THOUGHT “I’m too lazy to get that stuff” so I just blew into it and now it works 😭 😭
What about Xbox series 2.controller
Can you make a video on how to fix squeaky “LT/RT” buttons? Thanks!
Press the trigger and put a small drop or two of some low viscosity lubricating oil on the coil you see in there.

I love you
What if the controller is wired?
Thank you it WORKED !!!

its the switch itself, its not dirt
What if the spring is loose
I have the alcohol but I don’t have the spray one, what do I do??

Do I really need the pump think??
You could use a cotton bud to apply it. Just make sure its not too saturated
Hey man, thanks heaps for this. I have that exact controller and the RB wouldn't register that ik clicking it. Literally blew on it after seeing compressed air and it works. Thanks heaps 😊😊

Do the triggers
Thing with my bumpers is that it clicks but I have to press a lil harder for them to do something
