    Right bumper not working


    I have an Xbox elite controller series 2 and I’ve had it for a couple months now, but out of nowhere the right number stopped working. It only works about 5% of the time and I don’t know how to fix it.

    :)

    Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 - Hardware issues

    There are quite a few but the most common are: right bumper not working, a button not working, stick drift, and the rubber gets loose.

    In my case it's only the right bumper not working, but I just have it for like 6 months so who knows how long this is going to last.

    Left bumper and right bumper durability

    It's a turtle beach one I've had other controllers from microsoft but every controller I've gotten has had there right or left bumper broken in some way.

    Left bumper and right bumper durability

    Yeah, I've also had the bumpers break a few times. Usually it's the plastic bumper piece, cos both bumpers are part of the same piece of plastic that flexes every time you press one, and that can crack/break. The underlying microswitches can get knocked out of position or fail too.

    At least they have improved the design of the plastic bumper piece with the newest revision of controllers, so it's more durable.
