Please use extreme caution when using WD-40 near plastic. WD-40 is a solvent and weakens and erodes plastic.

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!

my warranty expired, i figured why not. I used PL-100 then BAM! my poke check button works again in NHL24, thanks dude great tutorial

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.

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

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

You have no fucking clue how thankful I am for this. Thank you sir.

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.

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

My savior. Was feeling depressed about it all day. Now I’m feeling amazing

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!

This worked like a charm. Full process took me less than 5 min and got a working LB button finally. Thanks!

You can use rubbing alcohol as well. Thank you so much for this first controller tutorial that actually works.

Absolutely perfect fix! Had some trouble getting the plate off since i didn't have any good tools but hey it works again (:

You absolute legend! Controller is working perfectly now!

Thank you!! You save my controller nearly spent another £90 cheers man

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

Haha legend just used couple butter knives as my removal tools 😂 but it actually worked thanks bro 🤙

you just saved me 150+ dollars or however much these are.. thank you. and to everyone wondering how to get it open without these plastic things, i cut my zyn can into flush wedges for the top. and then for the sides i used a little wedge tool on a pocket knife, hope this helps.

$180 controller btw. Xbox is trash. Their products are cheaply made.

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.

Thank you so much this really helped. I didnt have any tools to ply it open so i had to use a lego orange tool lol.

I never thought this will work, because I had a problem on RB, thanks man

Used an air duster instead of WD but saved two controllers doing it👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 thank you!

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

Thanks man I did this to both of my elites and the rb’s work now I’m glad I saw this vid

That's wild, just fixed both of my series 2's thanks

This worked like a new controller thanks bro

Thank you so much I learn how I can fix almost any controllers that has this issue

This worked like a charm!! Thank you! I used Silicone Spray Lubricant instead of WD-40 because I didn't have any around. Still works. Thank you again!

Thanks so much, after days of trying my controller finally started working!!! Thanks alot.

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.

Thank you so much lol I thought I had to buy a new controller!

This is new. Thx. Now I need an Elite Series 2 and brake a bumper!!

Mann I can say how much you made me happy. I love you 💖

Thank you❤

Just did this and now it works great. Appreciate the advice. 🎉

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😮‍💨😮‍💨😊

Bro thank you so much! I looked for so many videos and this one actually fixed my problem!!!

After you use that. Add a tiny bit of oil lubricant. Wd -40 isn’t a lubricant it’s more of a cleaner.

absolute hero! thank you

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.

this worked so well. thank you. only issue is that my buttons don't click anymore because theyre so slick lol

BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT!! Right to the point and BAM!! It works!! Thank you!!

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

I was about to throw my elite controller out. This totally worked. Thank you!!!

Worked great, wish you had showed where the latches on the front cover were but I figured it out

Your a life saver! Thanks man, and thanks for the money you saved me!

worked like a charm thank you

This is amazing I am so happy I didn’t need to spend money your the best ❤❤❤❤

Very simple fix worked perfectly 👌

Thank you man, I did as you said and the problem is solved

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

Worked like a charm cheers dude

Worked Perfect 🙌🏽

Thank you very much! It fixed my controller.

Better and saver option is isopropyl alcohol. Works like charm

It worked!! Thank you sir

You can also blow in between the joints of the button and it will also work I do it when my bumpers ain’t working

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.

Wouldn't wd 40 end up all over the inside of your controller? That stuff is super oily

Cheers mate Just completely ripped my new controller in half

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.

THANK U, U ARE A LEGEND

OMG ur amazing i was Loki scared that i was doing something wrong or bad but when i was done it worked and i can now click much soother

Thanks man, it worked!

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.

Oh my goodness thank you so much ❤❤

Yuh let me grab my controller opening tools i got laying around like tf😹

This method worked perfect for me! Thankyou Sir, that saved me some bucks. (:

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.

The correct spray is BW-100

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❤

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! YOU MADE MY DAY

Worked perfectly

Thx for the good video !! This fixed my problem

Very helpful!

This work’s wonderfully

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

I will try this since im getting an issue with my left bumper

Muchas gracias :)

THANK U 😢 works perfect

Thank you for the help

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. 👍👍

where did you get the thumb grips. Good video keep it up!

Is it normal to hear rattling when shaking the xbox elite series 2 controller? Im worried something has snapped and is loose making the RB button only register sometimes

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.

Ur amazing

THANKS SO MUCH

Bro thank you so much it worked!

This worked thank you sm !!!

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

Worked for me!

Life saver

Good video. I would change WD40 to a silicone lube spray, WD40 leaves residue (slimy build up). Thx anyway.

Thank you sooo much❤

Thanks man it worked great

Can isopropyl alcohol do the trick? Instead of wd 40

Thank you!

Thank you so much this worked great
